Toryn Glavin, the trans engagement manager at Stonewall, told the BBC: “We’re delighted that Sam Smith feels able to speak openly about their gender identity, and their visibility will have a huge impact on many non-binary people. “I hope you can see me like I see myself now,” they wrote. Smith said they were “scared shitless but feeling super free right now” and asked fans to be kind and to make an effort not to misgender them. Smith pledged to answer questions that fans may have, and cited “activists and leaders of the non-binary/trans community” that had aided their understanding of gender identity, among them the actor Laverne Cox, model Munroe Bergdorf and the charities Stonewall, Glaad and Mermaids. In their Instagram post, Smith said they were “at no stage just yet to eloquently speak at length about what it means to be non-binary” but that their intention was to be “visible and open”.
