British singer Sam Smith on Friday asked to be referred to by the gender-neutral pronouns they/them, citing “a lifetime of being at war with my gender.”
The Grammy-winning musician, 27, made the announcement in an Instagram post titled “My pronouns are they/them.”
Smith joins a growing number of people who wish to use they and them as pronouns, including Jill Soloway, the Emmy-winning creator of transgender series “Transparent,” and “Billions” TV series actor Asia Kate Dillon.
