I want to have a kid before I am 34. There are lots of options — adoption, surrogacy. I have friends who have done both.”

Oh look, a wannabe slaver and friend of slavers. No wonder it hates women.

Yes, very telling how he opts out of maleness and femaleness but relies on female bodies to produce a child for him. I wonder what Sam would do if all the women he approached said “sorry, can’t help you , we’re non binary too! Maybe you could try identifying as a woman?” Also he’s so vapid - “omg I love high heels”, really?

When Sams claimed "I have female thighs and breasts," I wish the interviewer had asked, "In your freezer?"

He's just a gay effeminate man.

I want to stop calling men like Sams Smiths "effeminate" or "feminine." There's absolutely nothing about these flamboyant, theatrical, preening, attention-seeking, utterly entitled and arrogant male narcissists that I would characterize as "having or showing characteristics regarded as typical of a woman." Not physically, and certainly not in the way they behave.

If Sams Smiths and other men like him had "characteristics regarded as typical of a woman" they be wearing scrubs and working as nurses, doctors or health aides; helping the most vulnerable and disadvantaged as social workers; womanning the checkout lines and registers in retail shops; or teaching school to young kids. Then in their off hours, they'd be going grocery shopping then hurrying home to fill the rest of their time with cooking, cleaning and caring for their kids, partners and elderly or disabled relatives; doing laundry; paying the bills; going over homework; stopping in to help their homebound neighbors... and so on.

If these fellas were anything like most women, they wouldn't have the energy, grandiosty, arrogance, self-absorption, or free time to waste swanning about likening themselves to laydees and boasting in the press of how speshul and brave and different they are.

If these fellas were anything like most women, they wouldn't be acting like conquistidors in drag hellbent on colonizing and appropriating what isn't theirs, then expecting to be applauded for it.

These men are histrionic, not feminine or effeminate.

Ugh I hate how he compares being an overweight man to being a woman. No your fat legs and man boobs are not girls thighs and girls breasts. A woman is not a man with a higher percentage of body fat Sam.

I've apparently never tried to read an entire article with they/them pronouns because I found this to be a uniquely jarring reading experience. Every time I hit another they/them my brain stopped and said "wait, who?" I study languages (fluent in a couple Romance languages and one Asian language) and am a native English speaker but it makes language too nonspecific. This would be a nightmare for me if I was learning English. The way TRAs muddy language is not good for non-native speakers, especially women trying to navigate an already confusing and often scary healthcare system in the US.

Yep. It's downright evil they way they try to obfuscate necessary health info with their confusing terminology, especially knowing that sexual education in the US tends to be… let's just say not the best, and that some of the women who need the info the most don't necessarily know English all that well

A somewhat effeminate gay male. So rare.
