If this is true I kind of feel like an ass. I always thought he was a pretentious attention-seeking fuckwad. But I can absolutely understand what it's like to be physically gender non conforming (for me that means being intersex, but also extends to having things like gynecomastia or simply just looking more "girly") and how not fitting in with "being a man" can have psychological impact.

However, this isn't the way to go about doing it. Publicly declaring yourself "genderqueer" and demanding that people use "they/them pronouns" for is a step too far I just can't have sympathy for. This negatively affects real people. It's one thing for Sam himself to say "Well I wasn't manly enough, so now I accept myself as a he-she unmanly other" but what he doesn't seem to realize is that he's putting that message on others. He's saying that if you are male and you wear makeup and/or you're gay and/or you want to be a pop singer, or anything along those lines, then you are no longer male. That is a dangerous message to spread when you are a celebrity.
