Along with coming out as a non-binary genderqueer, Sam Smith has also publicly struggled with body image issues. So to continue exploring body image and positivity, the British singer recently posted a handful of shirtless selfies, some of them a tad risqué.
In one Instagram post (below), Smith wrote, “Feeling bloated and gross after my flight so thought I’d post a mirror selfie of my sexy bloated boobies coz we are friends. Finally.”
In an interview last month, Smith revealed that they’d undergone liposuction at age 12 to reduce their breasts which had become enlarged due to large amounts of estrogen in their body.
Smith also recently posted a series of shots showing off their bod and a video in which they dance in a calve-length socks and a pair of Calvin Klein briefs.
How about we take this to the next level?

Sam Smith can get it.
In the aforementioned interview, Smith said that recognizing their own gender-fluidity helped resolve some of their body image issues.

Smith said:
People don’t know this, but when I was 17, I remember becoming obsessed with Boy George and Marilyn. There was one moment in my life when I didn’t own a piece of male clothing, really. I would wear full makeup every day at school—eyelashes, leggings, with Dr Martens and huge fur coats, for two and a half years. I got teased a lot for it, but there were also people respecting me for walking around like that in school.
I’ve always had a little bit of a war going within my body and my mind. I do think like a woman sometimes, in my head. Sometimes I’ve questioned, “Do I want a sex change?” and it’s something I still think about, like: “Do I want to?” But I don’t think it is. When I saw the words ‘non-binary’ and ‘genderqueer’ and I read into it, and I heard this people speaking, I was like “F*ck, that’s me.”
Here are some other body positive shots of Smith.

Is Sam going to have a psychological meltdown soon? I am OK with his being positive with his new body but for God’s sake, could he just trim his body hair a little? It looks really unkempt.

WTF? it’s an adult male’s body. Not everyone is into looking like an 9 year old boy.
sfmike64
I think he’s sexy as hell. Why do you feel the need to police someone else’s body hair (or lack thereof)?
Itsonlythetruth
It’s natural body hair not a lawn.

The shot on the beach is nice the others are awful! And I’m not sure how posting pics on social media helps with self esteem, oh wait it doesn’t he’s just looking for validation! Lastly does he not know what a gym is?
galileo
Gym?! Maybe he’s not a vapid instahoe…

Sam definitely doesn’t have a ripped underwear model physique, but he’s not too far gone. Fully clothed he probably looks like a normal dude … so what’s all the fuss about?
supernaut
Actually, he looks like a normal dude, period. His body hair is just fine. I don’t trim my body hair, cos I don’t give a shit most of the time, but I’ll trim the shoulder hairs when it’s time. Plus if you eat relatively well, take walks and ride the bicycle, there’s really no need to go to a gym, unless you want that fecking Instagram model body. As an introvert I avoid those places anyway, I might stare at some dude for too long, who then might feel compelled to beat the shite out of me.

Why? I don’t need to see it?! If I want to see someone naked I’ll go look on pornhub! I don’t get the constant need for people to push their shit onto everyone else. Happy with your body? Awesome, go show it your boyfriend/girlfriend/non binary friend/or others… BUT NOT ME! (Sorry…not)

In the good old days stars had managers and publicists who would sensibly stop them from doing embarrassing stuff like this. You know all those iconic posters of Audrey Hepburn, Elizabeth Taylor, Marilyn Monroe, James Dean, Marlon Brando, etc? If they’d devalued their brand with crappy ill-advised selfies like those above nobody would want their posters on walls today.

If Sam Smith makes people think, “I’m OK. as I am,” I’m all for it. And if Sam Smith is having harmless fun, I’m for that too.
What I’m REALLY for is more Sam Smith music.

“For body positivity”. More like for attention, bless his heart.
