Nonbinary/ja

ノンバイナリー（英語："nonbinary", "non-binary" ）とは、性別バイナリー外に存在するジェンダーアイデンティティ・ジェンダー表現を指すLGBTカテゴリ用語である. バイナリー外のジェンダーを持つが、より具体的なジェンダーラベルを指定したくないという人はこの用語をアイデンティティとして使うこともある. 和製用語の「Xジェンダー」はおおよそ「ノンバイナリー」の意味と一致する.

Nonbinary falls under the umbrella term of transgender (meaning a gender identity different than one's sex assigned at birth). However, for various reasons, individual nonbinary people may or may not consider themselves transgender.

カテゴリ用語として、ノンバイナリーはジェンダークィア (genderqueer)ともほぼ一致し、ノンバイナリーであるという人たちの殆どは自分がジェンダークィアでもあると認めているらしい. だが、2つの用語は微妙に違う意味合いを持つ. 英語の「genderqueer」は「nonbinary」より10年以上前に生成された.

Since 2012, the International Nonbinary Day has been celebrated each 14th of July, with the aim to celebrate and focus on nonbinary people, their successes and contributions to the world and their issues. Katje of "Fierce Femme's Black Market," the person who proposed it, chose that date because it is exactly between International Men's Day and International Women's Day.

ノンバイナリーのアイデンティティ
In 2014, the social media site Facebook began to allow users to set their profiles as any of 56 genders, one of which was called "nonbinary."

In 2017, in the USA, the state of California passed the 2017 Gender Recognition Act "to ensure that intersex, transgender, and nonbinary people have state-issued identification documents that provide full legal recognition of their accurate gender identity."

In 2018, in the USA, Washington state began to allow "X" gender markers on official documents, with the law stating that ""X" means a gender that is not exclusively male or female, including, but not limited to, intersex, agender, amalgagender, androgynous, bigender, demigender, female-to-male, genderfluid, genderqueer, male-to-female, neutrois, nonbinary, pangender, third sex, transgender, transsexual, Two Spirit, and unspecified." Also in 2018, well-known cartoonist and songwriter Rebecca Sugar came out as a nonbinary woman.

ノンバイナリーの表明と表現


The word enby (plural enbies, derived from "N.B.," the initialism of "non-binary") is a common noun meaning "nonbinary person." It was coined by Tumblr user vector (revolutionator) in 2013 as the nonbinary common noun equivalent of "boy" or "girl." Due to that wording, some nonbinary people question whether it can also be used as a nonbinary common noun equivalent of "man" or "woman." The 2020 Gender Census shows that older nonbinary people less often call themselves enbies.

Nonbinary identities
Some of the more common identities under the nonbinary umbrella include:


 * Agender, also called genderless or non-gendered, means having no gender identity.


 * Androgyne (from Greek, meaning "man-woman") and has been used for many kinds of people who don't fit into the gender binary. Even a century ago, some people who called themselves androgynes saw themselves as a mix of male and female.


 * Bigender people feel they have two genders at the same time, or moving back and forth between them at different times.


 * Genderfluid people move between different gender identities, and sometimes expressions, at different times.


 * Gender neutral or neutrois can mean being genderless, or it can mean having a gender identity that is not female, not male, and not a mix, but simply neutral.

Nonbinary expression
There is not one right way to perform a nonbinary gender. Most nonbinary people are primarily motivated to do what feels comfortable and true to themselves, rather than attempting to follow any particular gender role. Whichever way any particular nonbinary person needs or chooses to present, express, or perform their gender is as valid as any other.

All of these are completely individual choices based on what any one nonbinary person personally feels they want to, need to, or must do in order to feel more comfortable and more like themselves.
