Sam Smith corrects Alex Jones on ‘The One Show’ after being misgendered by ‘fisherthem’ comment
nme.comSam Smith corrected Alex Jones on The One Show this week after she misgendered the singer when discussing their dreams of being a “fisherthem”.The singer won the Best Pop Duo/Group Performance Grammy with Kim Petras for ‘Unholy’ earlier this month, but told the BBC yesterday (February 15) about how they’d like to pursue the unlikely hobby of fishing after music.“I do love fishing,” the singer said (via The Mirror). “I’d love to be a fisherthem.”Jones responded to ask if Smith meant something like a “fly fisherman”, to which the artist replied: “I’d be any time of fisherthem.
One day I’d just like to end my days fishing.”Smith then elaborated that they fish in lakes and the sea, but has never done it alone.The pop singer has gone by the pronouns they/them since 2019, but it’s not the first time the non-binary star has struggled with misgendering.In January, Richard Madeley issued an apology to Smith on TV after using the wrong pronouns when talking about the singer.Smith also responded to Shawn Mendes misgendering them at the iHeartRadio’s Jingle Ball in 2020.
