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

    He's neither a man or a woman, but he is ****e.

    He’s one of these gob****es who would literally do or say anything to extend what little time in the spotlight he has

    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.

    He doesn't have a say in the matter really.

    So he's bound to appear on Dancing with the Stars then.

    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.

    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: 33,980 ✭✭✭✭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.

    /gasp - Are you assuming this generation's gender? :pac:

    I thought Gooter was the mechanic in Dukes of Hazard

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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,538 ✭✭✭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.

    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
