Sam Smith - Neither a man or a woman?!

    So apparently Sam Smith has stated that he doesn't think he is a man or a woman.

    https://www.rte.ie/entertainment/2019/0319/1037219-sam-smith-im-not-male-or-female/

    It's crazy to see the usual media outlets lap this up but at the same time referring to him as 'him'.

    Its a strange world we live in these days. In what other aspect of life can we just decide to abandon logic, biology and reason and just declare something to be true despite all evidence and fact proving the opposite?

    Biologically he’s a man I’d say

    Thats a good point. It annoys me that it gets column inches but I suppose that I am perpetuating the problem by highlighting it.

    It just seems like such such an odd thing to declare.

    They can identify however they feel suits them. It'll never affect the rest of us anyway, so leave Sam Smith to it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,055 ✭✭✭JohnnyFlash


    If he has a schlong then he’s a dude. If he has a gooter then he’s a chick. Piers Morgan should have asked for a look so we could have found out definitively.


  • Posts: 25,611 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Will he be handing back awards? Or will they contact him each year about which category he should be in?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,995 ✭✭✭✭NIMAN


    I despair.

    They will be able to look back at this generation in history and say, "well, that's where it started to go t1ts up".

    Im not saying he can't. I just find it odd that it's only when it comes to gender that it is socially acceptable to lie.

    Gooter :confused: Boards is always educating me. But when I google gooter (what a silly billy I am) it says it's a penis, so I am really confused now.

    I thought Gooter was the mechanic in Dukes of Hazard


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,909 ✭✭✭Gwynplaine


    Does Sam Smith have a cock and balls? If so, he is a man.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,539 ✭✭✭RocketRaccoon


    He was better craic when he was a fat man.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,450 ✭✭✭✭kneemos


    He could be a man and a women. No way he can be neither.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,246 ✭✭✭friendlyfun


    The only outrage here is the media-manufactured one. I seriously couldn't care if he identifies as a traffic cone. Its not my business.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,168 ✭✭✭Ursus Horribilis


    He recorded the worst James Bond theme ever. I don't care what gender he is or isn't. I mostly regret that he decided to embark on a singing career in the first place. He's a horrible singer who whines through his songs.

    Yes", Smith agreed, continuing: "Because I do think like a woman, sometimes, in my head.

    I wonder what "thinking like a woman" entails. I hope I'm doing it right


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,417 ✭✭✭ToddyDoody


    Smith concluded: "Maybe I'm not a man, maybe I'm not a woman, maybe I'm just me, and maybe that's ok.'

    Tripe :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,450 ✭✭✭✭kneemos


    Maybe he's confused to be fair. He doesn't see himself as a man or a women,rather than not being either a man or a woman.

    Thats a little more than confusion though. I get confused by quantum physics. I don't get confused as to whether I have a knob or not.

    More to the point, how does he know he's "thinking like a woman"??


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 814 ✭✭✭debok


    Surely if this was an other subject and someone was denying the obvious facts people would question them. In that case Why did that woman who identified as African/American and become the boss of some organisation have to resign and apologise when people found out she was white. She believed she was black why is this different.

    Gooter can refer to the Gee,the Clunge,the Yawning Trap and the Honey-Bucket:


    "Her gooter was that wide i had to wrap a towel around me prick when i was riding her to get it to touch the sides"


    It can also refer to the owners of said Gee-Hives:


    "Jaysus the amount of gooter dripping off the walls in this kip..i'm off to the jacks to pull the skeleton off of myself"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,809 ✭✭✭Hector Savage

    Maybe those thoughts are pink and sparkly, or about makeup and boys. That's all us women think about

    It seems regressive, sexist nonsense like this is fashionable again


  • Subscribers Posts: 41,831 ✭✭✭✭sydthebeat


    He's not a man






    ..... He's a Muppet

    Had the misfortune to see some of this chancer’s set at Electric Picnic a few years ago. Absolute drivel.

    A cnut making music for cnuts who don’t really like music. Total sh1t.


    .....oh, and he’s quite clearly a gay MAN. No matter what he pretends to keep himself in the limelight. Well, he couldn’t be depending on his “talent” anyway.

    Indeed. And, with the kind of irony normally seen only in hardback first-editions, peddled by the proud proponents of the more hair-raising genderpolitik horsepuckey. :pac:

    That was the first thing I thought of with this story: a deflection from his real crimes.

    I dismiss this new 'evidence' and return the same verdict as before: GUILTY.

    Some people think they're an animal in a human body, doesn't change the fact they're human still. This turd is just seeking attention.

    I’m sorry but as a gay man I think this is absolute bullocks.

    He’s s man who likes other men that men’s your gay CHRIST!

    I can understand Straight, Gay and Bi people even transgender but this non binary stuff is the stuff of nonsense.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,300 ✭✭✭✭razorblunt


    He said this to Jameela Jamil. She seems to be gaslighting a lot of this stuff.


    I don't really know what gaslighting means.
    I don't really know what a Jameela Jamil is.
