The outing comes after Sam revealed on Friday they were spat at in the street after coming out as non-binary.
The Grammy winner changed their gender pronouns to they/them in 2019, and said they wish they had done it sooner but also opened up about the shocking backlash.
Speaking to Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1, the popstar revealed that while there have been no issues with their new gender identity in their personal life, they had been harassed on the streets of England since coming out.
‘It’s crazy and exhausting’: The popstar recently revealed they were spat at in the street after coming out as non-binary and changing their pronouns in 2019
They explained: ‘I think all the only negatives in the struggle have been in my public life and my job. And just the amount of hate and s****ness that came my way was just exhausting.
It was in the f****** news. Someone spat at me in the street. It’s crazy. What I find hard about it is it’s like, if that’s happening to me and I’m famous, I’m a pop star, can you imagine what other kids, like queer kids are feeling?
‘And it’s just so sad that we’re in 2023 and it’s still happening. It’s exhausting and especially in England.’
Candid: Speaking to Zane Lowe (pictured) on Apple Music 1, the singer discussed changing their gender pronouns to they/them in 2019
Sam added: ‘So we’ve got two sides, really. My personal life and then my public life. And in my personal life, there is not one negative.
‘My family, they can communicate with me. They always did. But they communicate with me now in an even better way. My love life has become better from it. I feel lovable. I feel comfortable in my skin, but I wear what I want to wear.
‘Since changing my pronouns, it felt like a coming home. I wish I knew what the words were when I was in school, because I would have identified as that in school. Because it is who I am and it’s who I’ve always been.’
Sam also recently said it’s a ‘shame’ that there are no women nominated for the Best Artist at the BRIT Awards.
The Too Good at Goodbyes singer was one of the first musicians to call for the ceremony to be ‘reflective’ resulting in organizers making the event the first major UK awards to abolish gendered categories.
But Sam still thinks there is a ‘long way to go’ after the shortlist for this year’s prestigious prize only featured male nominees.
Sam said there are a lot of female artists who should have made the shortlist, instead of just Harry Styles, Stormzy, George Ezra, Central Cee and Fred Again being left to contend for the prize.
Asked which women should have been shortlisted, they said: ‘Cat Burns. Anne Marie. Florence Welch. There’s so much incredible female talent in the UK — they should be on that list.’
They said: ‘Things are moving forward, but it’s obvious it’s not there yet. From seeing that [best artist] list, there is still a long way to go’.
It’s incredibly frustrating. It feels like it should be easy to do.
