Sam Smith comes out as non-binary

Hmmm, this is seemingly old news. For some reason, it's the no3 story on the Beeb website.

Non-binary? Does that mean they can't scan his barcode at the supermarket?

No idea about that, but he hasn't half scored a lot of runs for Australia in the Ashes.

One for Runwell.

seriously

dont know what thismeans

55

Why is this news ?

Surely it is a personal thing.

Yes, between him and his psychiatrist.

What is Non Binary ??  and who could give a Flying ??

The pop star wrote on Instagram: "After a lifetime of being at war with my gender I've decided to embrace myself for who I am, inside and out."

The singer added: "I've been very nervous about announcing this because I care too much about what people think."

Six months ago, Smith said they did not feel male or female, but "I flow somewhere in between".

Sam Smith has asked fans to use the pronouns "they/them", not "he/him", after coming out as non-binary.

So he can't use the gents nor the ladies??

foook Him and his non Binaries ,,

'They' is the third person plural pronoun.  You can't start changing grammar rules to suit degenerate minds.

Have not a clue Lyb , Thankfully , why does anyone want to know this information ? Who is interested in this type of news ??

Who are these Non Binary types ?

More of a zero than a one imo

Turns out he very much is binary:

01010100 01110111 01100001 01110100.

This used to be bi sexual...I thought

non binary does seem confusing

when I read sam smith I thought it was the tennis commentator, no idea who this singer is, he must be attention seeking

Juan Kerr

anyone remember stan smith the wimbledon champion 72 i think beat nastase, spitting image of the adctor leslie phillips .Anyway theres a hundred different of these gendres now, but for me theres only 4  , man  or woman, girl or boy .

non-binaryphobic thread.

Their (Mr? Smith's) wikipedia page has been updated, with all pronouns amended. Doesn't clarify whether this means he is still gay, or has graduated to pansexual.

Sorry, should say 'whether them is still gay.'

I'd say you know all about being non binary eh Mikael

I’ve thought of myself as a girl on several occasions , because I like to do household tasks

but of course I’m not a real girl

Heres the resident non binary expert

An expert, racingqueen. Can I stick my 1 in your 0?

why stop there Mik, we can mix our 1s and 0s up anyway we want

The thought that I might possibly be a girl has never, never

not for a single moment troubled me

have you ever worn knickers or a skirt LFC?

or made me unhappy

I may have done rc , what’s wrong with that

Please give me a moment to consider it ,

No it wouldn’t trouble me or rattle my composure in any way

I like to mend a torn jacket with my own hands also

That’s girls work ? I don’t know
It doesn’t bother me

I find it amusing

Sounds like you're borderline 'they,' lfc.

But of course I’m not a real girl

If I thought I was I would be gravely mistaken :(

Who tf's Sam Smith?

Shirley it's an it, as in neuter?  Can't be a they, ffs

can you cook something without burning the 5hit out of it or making the pot/pan unusable in future?

If you can, definite 100% they LFC

Lol , I can cook , and carry a bag of potatoes , and i like to be helpful and to treat people well and girly things like that
so what ,

At the same time I don’t mind strong women , but I dislike girly men

How can I explain this seeming contradiction?

contradiction or not , I think I am right to feel that way

Nothing contradictory there at all, lfc.  I concur entirely.

When people talk the way Sam smith talks on these things

I find I immediately dislike him and despise him , sorry

wtf nonsense is this feckwittery?

My tv is neither male nor female but I don't call it they, ffs!!!

Good morning to you Trilby on St Leger day.

G'day EK  I'm not much into hosses but I'll have a wee peek to look see what's running.  Any tips

yes there it is
good morning trilby

G'day lfc.

I was hoping Colonel Pinstripe may tip something but no such luck! I'll have a look and get back to you with my selections (the ones to avoid )

1st and 2nd fav straight f/c, for me

3/1 on SB

The best endorsement I can give the St Leger favourite is that I will not be backing it as I think something may turn it over and at a price I think DASHING WILLOUGHBY could be an e/w punt.

I tend to stick with favourites so here we go for today's treble:

14:25 Doncaster - Shine So Bright
15:00 Doncaster - Threat
16:50 Leopardstown - Lancaster House

Good luck.

That makes it a NAP then?   GL with your bets, EK.  I'll check 'em oot

Correct, Trilby. Sadly their fate would appear sealed!

Enjoy your day.

Cheers EK and all.  You too.

Hope 'they'all win EK.

Even by my standards, that was appalling!

Logician was impressive - I hope you had a win bet on it, Trilby.

1-0 to the non binaries.

Nah, just a greedy f/c, EG

Followed you in on Lancaster House, before noticing it only ran five days ago, still, that Ryan Moore's fecking USELESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

EK, my apologies.  WD with Threat.  Hope you had a larrrrrrrrrrrrrge wedge on it!

Sam Smith clearly doesn't understand grammar, as someone said earlier, "they" is plural - he should possibly have demanded to be referred to as "it".

It sounds as though they think they have split personalities.
You really need a Masters in Philosophy and a PH.d in Linguistics to grasp where this is going.

Male/female or mentally ill.

This Smith character seems to be a little confused, so I hope he will allow me to clarify the situation, and for free :-

Mr Smith, you are male, you always have been make, and you will be unable to change that for the rest of your life.

Hope that helps.

I hope they've replaced all their light switches for dimmers.

I may be old fashioned but I'm sure a quick glance down to the crotchal region may confirm any doubts.

Who and what?

as in other post this is bullcr@p. be who you like call yourself what you like but
you are a man in reality. you can't argue with nature, time or the tax man.
if he had genuine gender dysmorphia i would have some sympathy but he doesn't.
he's a homosexual man

I agree with above posts

I think we need a DEMARCATION LINE between men and women

Men and men things on one side, women and women things on the other

more like the world of the 1960/1970's I was brought up in, and even more before that

to quote del boy advising wodney

a bird,s a bird and likes a man to be a man,

They is going to make grammar difficult for every them.

To be referred to as "it" henceforth

who is smith  - is he one of my lot or what?

My gramma is not a problem - nice lady - well both of them were - but gone on as it were

oh right he is male but one of us - got it

We can forgive him, he made this:

I just want him to be gay and enjoy his talent. Then whatever but dont top yourself over little things.

Mark Ronson comes out as sapiosexual.

Stop the earth I'm ready to get off

Good to see him treating this with dignity, and not turning it into a media feeding frenzy, which could be harmful to others struggling with issues with no voice, oh silly me he wants to sell his dirge music. all studio tweaked to disguise his sh** vocals and worse lyrics.

Broken hooks, verses running on verbs that are just to weak, his whole melodic structure's  work themelf loose
It's got so many dotted eighth notes in it, "And he'got a bad safety problems with
That dominant chords with the augmented fifth
Just see how dangerously high it raises him up.

Shouldn't be writing dittys for Maccies, let alone anything else.

Sonko forgives they, on the grounds that them contributed to a passable tune. Them will be chuffed, even if he used the incorrect pronouns.

So does this mean he's not an chough butler any more?

'Piers Morgan has slammed Sam Smith for 'causing a Brit Awards shake-up' after it was revealed the 'best male' and 'best female' categories could be abolished. '

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-7493745/Piers-Morgan-slams-Sam-Smith-causing-Brit-Awards-shake-up.html

Slippery slope towards the abolition of gender entirely.

Leftist and liberals so much to answer for, what a disgusting trash bag this Smith is...

needs a good kickin

' One of the pioneers of gender theory has admitted that he and his colleagues “basically just made it up”.

In an article in online magazine Quillette, former gender historian Christopher Dummitt explains how he and his fellow academics simply ignored the innate differences between men and women. In this way they “proved” that “sex was wholly a social construct”.

What”s worse, everyone was at it. “Everyone was (and is) making it up. That”s how the gender-studies field works”, he confesses'

For the article: https://quillette.com/2019/09/17/i-basically-just-made-it-up-confessions-of-...

Definition of non binary is ANAL LOG ( spelling ), is that what he likes

So they can't wear a digital watch then.

People like Sam Smith actually believe that they're so important,and we should take note of what HE says, it must be because they're surrounded by yes men and woman,sorry, i mean yes its and thems, if thats all HE'S got to worry about, then HE is very very lucky.

I've just caught the start of The Circle, looks like Emma Willis has caught the binary bug, what a dog's dinner she looks 

She Looks more like Bob Willis
