Sam Smith: “I Feel Safe, I Feel Happy, I Feel Completely Seen” When People Use Correct Pronouns
Sam Smith says it’s a “wonderful feeling” when people use their current pronouns in a recent interview with Carrie Bickmore from ‘The Project’.
According to ‘Gay Times’, Carrie admitted in the interview that she had used he/him pronouns on her way to the interview to which Sam replied: “I trip up too! Of course I do, I’m a human being. I have been called ‘he and him’ since the day I was born, so I can understand.
“My mum, she’ll call me ‘he/him’ and then she gets angry with herself. It’s okay. But it is important, you know? All I can say is that when people use my pronouns correctly, it’s a wonderful feeling. I feel safe, I feel happy, and I feel completely seen.”
They then revealed how they came about their realisation of their gender identity.
“It was weird, I had a massive night out at the end of the tour and I was drunk at 3am with my bandmates and friends in my room,” they said. “I just started hearing about the term non-binary, and I’d never heard it before.
“The pronoun thing for me just felt like a flag in the ground kind of, like this is how I want to be treated by everyone.”
