This page aims to gather practical resources that ''may'' be useful to [[nonbinary]] people and others who do not fit the [[gender binary]]. It is '''not''' expected that all of these resources will be useful to ''all'' nonbinary and gender variant people. See [[Nonbinary#Nonbinary expression|Nonbinary presentation and expression]] for discussion of the diversity of nonbinary behaviour.

==Personal relationships==

These resources may be useful for people who wish to be openly nonbinary or out to friends, family and loved ones:
*[[Coming out]], on telling others that one is nonbinary
*[[Family]] of nonbinary people
*Nonbinary [[children]]
*[[Intimacy]]
*[[Template letters]], for help with writing about nonbinary issues to personal relations, as well as to business and other causes

==Identity and documentation==

These resources may be useful to people who wish to be publicly or legally recognised as nonbinary, or who wish to keep their legal or [[Sex#Gender assigned at birth|assigned gender]] confidential:

*[[Identities]], for finding what to call one's gender identity, and other identity labels
*[[Glossary of English gender and sex terminology]], for understanding much of what is said about nonbinary genders and related [[LGBT]] issues

==Gendered spaces==

These resources may be useful to people who are openly or perceived to be nonbinary, [[gender variant]], [[gender nonconformity|gender nonconforming]] or gender transgressive:
*[[Changing rooms]]
*[[Employment]]
*[[Education]]
*[[Formal occasions]]
*[[Public toilets]]
*[[Swimming pools]]

==Presentation==

These resources may be useful to people who wish to express or present a nonbinary gender or who wish to hide or change [[gender cues]] due to [[gender dysphoria]], [[transition]] or other practical reasons:
*[[Body language]]
*[[Voice and speech]]
*[[Clothing]]
*[[Hair and grooming]]
*[[Makeup]]
*Changing how one's chest looks in clothes: [[Binding]] and [[breast prostheses]]
*Changing how one's genitals look in clothes: [[Tucking]] and [[packing]]

==Physical changes==

These resources may be useful to people who wish to remove or add [[gender cues]] or [[sexual characteristics]], perhaps due to [[gender dysphoria]], for practical reasons or by personal choice:
*[[Hair gain]]
*[[Hair removal]]
