The BRIT Awards is to do away with “best gender” categories to accommodate the needs of artists like Sam Smith.
Full story below…
After Smith announced that they see themselves as non-binary, the awards show’s organisers revealed that they intend to support artists in the same boat by erasing categories based on genders…much to the delight of some…and the horror of those who feel the move will marginalise women.
A source told ‘The Sun’:
Bosses are listening to changes happening in the industry. The categories will evolve in the coming years.
The male and female categories will still be in place next February but changes are being planned for the following year. Organisers will be consulting labels and artists alike to work out what is best for the future of the Brits ceremony.
The news inspired these responses…
No offence to Sam, but this is a complete over-reaction by #TheBrits . Why are we losing male and female – ridiculous ?♀️ https://t.co/R81wuOlVg2

The Grammys have been gender neutral for 7 years and nobody noticed but the second the Brit awards reviews it people go mental

Your thoughts?
Yes let’s do the same at the Olympics. No mens category and women’s category.
Men and women should be in the categories, competing against one and other.
I dont think any woman will ever win any medal if they competed against men in the same category
Correction…
Sam Smith revealed that “THEY” are half GENDER RETARDED and Half AUTISTIC not “non binary”.
This is so stupid and aggy.
This is pure foolery, bofoonery, and fuckery. Does the madness know no end??
how about we all identify as white males and have the same privilege immediately
Genius observation.
Spot on.
I have a genuine question about this trans/nonbinary thing.
If a White woman says she feels Black, we call her crazy and racist.
If a man says they feel like a woman, we call them trans.
Why not just create new categories for people who identify as trans and non-binary, etc? It would shine a light on acts otherwise overlooked.
I say this as a Black man who would feel some kind of way if a non-Black person won an award for Black people. So I definitely understand how getting rid of it, would offend many.
If I ever believed in a “gay agenda”, there definitely seems to be some nonsense afoot with this gender nonsense. And I say this as a gay man.
Absolutely, 1000% agree to everything you said, and I’m a gay man as well. This new LGBTQRDXYZ-what-the-hell-ever generation is an absolute f*cking mess.
People don’t normally agree with me. 🙂
This is absolute BS.
He needs to get over his oversized ego. The whole pronoun thing is ridiculous.
Yes there are male and female artists, not everyone out there is lost in between.
And if he is, it doesn’t mean people are disrespecting him if he is nominated as a male artist. After all, that’s what he is to the world.
So stop whining already.
Stupidity at its finest. But I digress lol
Sam has turned into a serious attention seeking weirdo since his debut.
