Speaking about the decision, Sam said: ‘I honestly, I can’t express to enough people how much courage it’s taken. I wasn’t prepared for the amount of ridicule and bullying, really, that I’ve experienced.
‘I mean, honestly, the comments and the types of things that I have to answer and walk through every day is very, very intense.’
Sam also discussed how gender had impacted their life and attempted to explain what being non-binary meant when prompted during the interview.
The Too Good At Goodbyes singer explained: ‘Gender, for me, has been nothing but traumatising and challenging throughout my life… I just feel like myself. I don’t feel like a man.’
Sam also reflected on how difficult the lead-up to coming out was, saying that the months preceding the announcement really impacted their mental health.

However now a year on from announcing they were non-binary, Sam said that they feel as if a ‘weight has been lifted’.
The singer first announced that they were coming out as non-binary on Twitter in September last year, saying they would be changing their pronouns to ‘they/them’.
