Non-binary gender

A non-binary gender (also known as being genderqueer^[1]) is any gender that is not just man or woman. As the non-binary label falls under the transgender umbrella, many people who are non-binary also identify as transgender. Some non-binary people experience gender dysphoria. The idea that there are only two genders (man and woman) is called the gender binary. A non-binary gender is any gender that is not exclusively part of this gender binary.

Gender identity is different from sexual or romantic orientation.^[2] Non-binary people have many sexual and romantic orientations, just as any other gender group.^[3]

Examples of non-binary genders include agender, bigender, and genderfluid.
