Sam Smith is a Grammy-winning artist who is known for their soulful voice and chart-topping hits.

The world knows that the singer is non-binary and very particular about the pronouns that others use when introducing them. Now, the star is making it clear that they’re trying to switch things up a bit.

To make it simple, Smith says they’re bored of being nonbinary and would now like to be identified as an oyster.

Yes, you heard that right. They want to be known as oysters as they were seen reflecting on a journey of self-discovery, self-love, and more towards embracing an identity that’s been challenging and liberating at the same time.

Smith says that while growing up, they lacked the understanding and comprehension that they could express what they felt. But as years went by, they knew exactly what they wanted.

Freedom of self-expression is a right belonging to all human beings, Smith says. This is why they’re standing by their claims and want the world to respect them instead of ridicule them.

Smith claimed they were free to do whatever they wanted and if anyone had an issue, that was not their problem. ‘I’m an oyster and I hope you can understand that. It is what it is!- the star mentioned.
