Hello! I'm a computer science and social justice student and I spend my free time doing programming projects for social good.

I was responsible for the nonbinary.wiki automated import of articles and files from archive.org, so if you have anything that needs fixed with that, let me know.

[[Recognition (Canada)]]. This is a multi page section that gives information on [[recognition]] of [[nonbinary]] gender identities in Canadian services and government. In Canada, passports and immigration documents are issued federally by the Canadian government while driver's licenses, health cards, and birth certificates are issued by the appropriate provincial government.

== Recognition in federal government ==
In 2017, the Canadian government passed bill C-16, which added "gender identity" and "gender expression" as prohibited grounds for discrimination <ref>http://www.parl.ca/LegisInfo/BillDetails.aspx?billId=8269852&Language=E&Mode=1</ref>. Following C-16 the government put interim measures in place before they could issue documents without "M" or "F" <ref name="ircc">https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/news/2017/08/new_x_gender_designationcomingtoirccdocuments.html</ref>. As of June 2019, the Canadian government has begun issuing immigration documents (including passports) with "X" in the sex field <ref>https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/news/notices/gender-x-documents.html</ref>.

== Recognition in provincial governments ==
The recognition of nonbinary people by provincial governments varies across Canada. All provinces and territories have removed requirements for surgery, but many still do rely on a [[medicalization|medical model]] of transness. At this point only Alberta and Ontario have moved away from the medical model for all applicants, removing the requirement for a letter from a medical practitioner. That being said some provinces have removed have also removed this requirement, but only for those over a certain age.

Every province and territory has added explicit protections for "gender identity" in their human rights legislation. The majority of provinces protect "gender expression" as well.

* Blue(#9FF) means it's friendly to nonbinary people.
* Yellow(#FFB) means it's somewhat friendly to nonbinary people.
* Red(#F99) means it's not friendly at all to nonbinary people.

Demigender

Falkirks: Protected "Demigender": Excessive vandalism ([Edit=Allow only autoconfirmed users] (indefinite) [Move=Allow only autoconfirmed users] (indefinite))

{{infobox identity}}
<translate>

'''Demigender''' (from ''demi'' "half" + "gender") is an [[umbrella term]] for [[nonbinary]] [[gender identity|gender identities]] that have a partial connection to a certain gender. This includes the partly [[female]] identity '''demigirl,''' and the partly [[male]] identity '''demiboy'''. There are other partial genders using the "demi-" prefix for the same reasons. For example, '''deminonbinary''', '''demifluid''', '''demiflux''', and so on. Like nonbinary, '''demigender''' is also an identity within itself, for people who feel connection to the concept of gender rather than certain genders. Being a demigender "is not dependent on how much (as in percentage) someone identities as one gender; it solely depends on if a person identifies as partially. For some, they may identify with two or more genders while others may not."<ref name="Savage">{{Cite web |title=Demigender Definitions |author=Savage |work=A Safe Place for Demigenders |date=11 November 2014 |access-date=30 April 2020 |url= https://demigenders.tumblr.com/post/102344212344/demigender-definitions}}</ref>

A demigirl is someone who only partially (not wholly) identifies as a girl or woman, whatever their assigned gender at birth.<ref>http://www.asexuality.org/en/topic/55798-definitions-master-list/ AVEN: Definitions Master List</ref> They may or may not identify as another gender<ref name="Queeries">{{Cite web |title=Some Genderqueer Identities |author= |work=Gender Queeries |date= |access-date=30 April 2020 |url= https://genderqueeries.tumblr.com/identities}}</ref> in addition to feeling partially a girl or woman.

Alternatively, demigirl can be used to describe someone [[Assigned_at_birth#Assigned_Gender_At_Birth|assigned female at birth]] who feels but the barest association with that identification, though not a significant enough dissociation to create real physical discomfort or dysphoria, or someone assigned male at birth who is trans feminine but not wholly binary-identified, so that they feel more strongly associated with “female” than “male,” socially or physically, but not strongly enough to justify an absolute self-identification as "woman".<ref>http://genderqueerid.com/gq-terms</ref>

==History== 
On August 12, 2010, user Bad Patient of AVEN's transyadas<ref>https://www.asexuality.org/en/topic/54301-whats-a-transyada/?tab=comments#comment-1640236</ref> posted


<blockquote> I've been thinking. (It's a thing I do. Pretty much all I do, really.) Last night I was lying in bed and thinking about the kind of stuff everyone else thinks about before they fall asleep: my weird sexual and gender identity. At one point I remembered my fondness of the term "demiromantic" and, chuckling, I said to myself that I can any word relate to me if I just stick a "demi-" in front of it. And then I realised that it might actually help me find a word for my gender identity. I've felt for some time that I may have too much of the masculine element in me to call myself agender and feel good about it — so maybe it would be a nice idea to call myself a demiguy. Demidude. Demibloke. Just not demiman, tyvm, because I only accept being called a man when you're talking about my body and not mind, and even then I prefer adjectives like "masculine" or "male" to that dreaded noun. Now, I'm not being entirely serious here, as I'm not going to go around calling myself a demibloke and I don't think I'll ever find a term that fully describes me anyway — and if I do, my identity will probably change just to spite me — but I kind of like those words and feel that they may actually describe me quite well. I'm not sure. But then again, I'm never sure of anything related to myself.


Signed,


Bad Patient the Demiyada

Romantic and sexual orientation

'''Romantic and sexual orientation''' are enduring personal qualities that incline people to feel romantic and sexual attraction to certain kinds of people.<ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_orientation</ref> Sometimes terms for sexual orientation are also used to include romantic orientation, the tendency to feel romantic attraction to certain kinds of people. Other times, orientation labels differentiate between romantic and sexual attraction.

Some of the most widely known labels for attraction, such as "lesbian," also imply the user's gender is a binary gender. There aren't similarly wide-spread words for attraction experienced by nonbinary people or attraction to nonbinary people. This article includes many terms for this that have been proposed, even though they may not have been widely used at this time.

==Usually attracted to women==

In the English-speaking world, most people know about three orientations that are usually attracted to women: bisexuals, [[Romantic and sexual orientation#Heterosexuality|heterosexual men]], and [[Romantic and sexual orientation#Homosexuality|homosexual women]] ([[Romantic and sexual orientation#Lesbian|lesbians]]). Some other identity labels have been proposed in order to have a way to say that one is usually attracted to women, without labeling one's own gender identity: gynephilia, femaric, feminamoric, neptunic, and venusic. Some identity labels have been proposed specifically for nonbinary people who are usually attracted to women: azalian, nonbinary people loving women (NBLW), and orbisian/trixic.

=== Azalian ===
"An agender/genderless person who loves women." Coined by tumblr user genderless-gibberish.<ref name=":0">https://genderless-gibberish.tumblr.com/post/175819840125/so-i-think-i-figured-out-what-i-want-to-call-the</ref>

=== Femaric ===
Non-straight attraction by anyone to women and feminine-aligned people. Coined by Tumblr user goodpositivitylgbt.<ref>https://goodpositivitylgbt.tumblr.com/post/162015830695/new-terms-as-many-of-you-know</ref>

=== Feminamoric ===
Attracted exclusively to women.<ref name=":1" />

===Gynephilia===
Gynephilia, also referred to as gynesexual, is a romantic or sexual orientation in which a person feels attraction femininity itself instead of women/the person. <ref name="NeutroisTerms">"LGBTQ Terms." ''Neutrois.com.'' [http://neutrois.com/definitions/terms]</ref> This term has gained criticism, arguing that the prefix "gyne-" is focused on genitals, not gender. Proponents of the term "gynephilia/gynesexual" argue that the term refers to women, not genitals.

===Lesbian===
[[File:Winning Orange-Pink Lesbian Pride Flag.png|thumb|A lesbian flag design popularized in 2018.]]
People who identify as lesbians are only attracted to women. This word is applicable regardless of whether one or both people involved are cisgender women or transgender women. Some nonbinary people also identify as women to some degree (nonbinary women), and also usually experience attraction to women, and so they consider themselves lesbians.<ref name="Carney">{{Cite web |title=In Defense of Non-Binary Lesbianism |last=Carney |first=Sasha |work=Broad Recognition |date=4 November 2019 |access-date=14 June 2020 |url= https://www.broadsatyale.com/in-defense-of-non-binary-lesbianism/}}</ref> Some people see "lesbian" as a gender identity as well as a sexuality.

[[File:Sapphic Flag.jpg|thumb|Another lesbian flag design, [https://archive.is/0rFRD based off a poem by Sappho].]]

===NBLW===

'''Non-binary people loving women''' (often abbreviated as '''nblw''') is an expression used to describe [[nonbinary]] people who feel some type of attraction towards [[Woman|women]]. ''Trixic'' or ''orbisian'' are terms that can be used with the same meaning.

Some nblw prefer the term ''nonbinary lesbian'' to describe their attraction to women because it's easier, since ''lesbian'' is better known than ''trixic'' or ''orbisian,'' and some people can relate more to this term.

''Gynesexual'' or ''finsexual'' are also terms to describe the attraction to femininity but they're not specifically for not non-binary people and also don't exclusively describe the attraction to women.

=== Neptunic ===
Attraction to women, nongender people, and all nonbinary people who are not male-aligned or masculine.<ref>https://neptunicnbs.tumblr.com/terminology</ref>

=== Orbisian/Trixic ===

[[File:trixic pride flag.png|thumb|left|100px|Trixic or orbisian flag.]]

An orbisian or trixic person is a nonbinary person who is attracted to women (exclusively or not).<ref name=":1" /> The trixic or orbisian flag was created by non-alligned-sapphic on tumblr. Purples and yellows represent nonbinary-ness, while pink represents the attraction to women.
{{Clear}}

=== Sapphic ===
[[File:Sapphic Flag.png|alt=|thumb|The Sapphic flag.]]
Sapphic generally stands for feminine-aligned people being attracted to other feminine-aligned people and women.<ref>https://lgbta.wikia.org/wiki/Sapphic</ref> It is an umbrella term for bisexual female-aligned people, lesbians, and any other people who consider themselves wlw.

=== Venusic ===
Only attracted to women and fem-aligned nonbinary people or partial women.<ref>https://non-aligned-sapphic.tumblr.com/post/166272150888/feminamoric-only-attracted-to-women-flag-by</ref>

==Usually attracted to men==

In the English-speaking world, most people know about three orientations that are usually attracted to men: bisexuals, [[Romantic and sexual orientation#Heterosexuality|heterosexual women]], and [[Romantic and sexual orientation#Homosexuality|homosexual men]] ([[Romantic and sexual orientation#Gay men|gay men]]). Some other identity labels have been proposed in order to have a way to say that one is usually attracted to men, without labeling one's own gender identity: androphilia, marsic, mascic, and uranic. Some identity labels have been proposed specifically for nonbinary people who are usually attracted to men: nonbinary people loving men (NBLM), quadrisian/toric, thistlian, and viramoric.

===Androphilia===
Androphilia is a romantic or sexual orientation in which one feels attraction to men or masculinity, regardless of one's own gender identity.<ref name="NeutroisTerms" />

===Gay men===
[[File:Gay Man Flag.jpg|thumb|right|A flag designed in 2018 for gay men. Inclusive of nonbinary and a-spectrum gay men.]]
People who identify as gay men have a male gender identity, and are attracted only to men. This word is applicable regardless of whether one or both people involved are cisgender men or transgender men. Some nonbinary people also identify as men to some degree ([[nonbinary man|nonbinary men]]), and also usually experience attraction to men, and so they consider themselves gay.

=== Marsic ===
Only attracted to men and masc-aligned nonbinary people or partial men.<ref>https://50wives.tumblr.com/post/164377019211/for-nb-peopleand-maybe-some-binary-who-want-some</ref>

=== Mascic ===
Non-straight attraction by anyone to men and masculine-aligned people. Coined by Tumblr user goodpositivitylgbt.<ref>https://goodpositivitylgbt.tumblr.com/post/162015830695/new-terms-as-many-of-you-know</ref>

=== NBLM ===

Nonbinary people loving men (very often abbreviated as nblm, NBLM) is a term that refers to nonbinary people who are sexually and/or romantically attracted to men.

=== Quadrisian/Toric ===
Nonbinary person attracted to men (exclusively or not). <ref name=":1" />

=== Thistlian ===
"An agender/genderless person who loves men." Coined by tumblr user genderless-gibberish.<ref name=":0" />

=== Uranic ===
Attraction to men, nongender people, and all nonbinary people who are not female-aligned or feminine.<ref>http://loud-and-queer.tumblr.com/post/165451319627/i-tried-my-hand-at-making-some-flags-for-neptunic</ref>

=== Viramoric ===
Nonbinary person attracted exclusively to men.<ref name=":1" />

==Usually attracted to a different gender than one's own==

===Heterosexuality===
Also called being straight, heterosexuality is a romantic and sexual orientation in which a person tends to feel sexual attraction only to people of a different gender identity than their own. For example, women who usually feel attracted only to men. This is heterosexuality even if one or both of the people are [[transgender]], because this is based on [[gender identity]] rather than [[sex]]. Heterosexuality is often defined as attraction between persons of opposite gender<ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterosexuality</ref>. However, the idea "opposite gender" only makes sense within the [[gender binary]], which sees all people as being either of only two genders, and that those two genders are supposedly opposites to each other. What "heterosexuality" means when [[nonbinary]] identities are taken into account is not agreed upon. By its etymology, it could imply "other" or "different" gender<ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterosexuality#Etymology</ref>. In that case, a heterosexual nonbinary person could mean one who feels attraction to one gender other than nonbinary, to both binary genders, or to all genders other than their exact own. Nevertheless, heterosexuality is often assumed to refer to attraction between men and women only, even when nonbinary identities are acknowledged. This can cause distress to nonbinary people in a relationship and their partners as they struggle to find a labels for themselves. The question of whether a nonbinary person can identify as heterosexual-- and how exactly that person defines their heterosexuality-- is up to that individual person.

===Strayt===
[[File:Strayt flag.png|thumb|right|The strayt flag, designed by nblwnonsense.<ref name="Straytflag">https://www.deviantart.com/pride-flags/art/Strayt-748740864</ref>]]
Coined by Mercuryretrograde<ref name="Straytflag" />, the term "strayt" is for nonbinary people who feel their attraction "is 'straight' but in a nonbinary way." Being strayt does not require attraction to only one gender or attraction to an "opposite" gender.<ref>[https://gai-strayt-alliance.tumblr.com/post/186223092828/what-is-a-strayt what is a “strayt”], 11 July 2019</ref>

===Contraic===
Term for nonbinary people's attraction to an "opposite side of the binary" gender. Coined by identity-workshop in 2018.<ref name="symmaic_contraic">https://identity-workshop.tumblr.com/post/173088225231/so-i-noticed-that-theres-no-terms-to-represent</ref><ref>https://www.deviantart.com/pride-flags/art/Contraic-2-750152604</ref>
{{clear}}
==Usually attracted to the same gender as one's own==

===Homosexuality===
Also called being gay, homosexuality is a sexual orientation in which a person feels sexual attraction only to people of the same [[gender]] as one's self.<ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homosexuality</ref> All homosexual people can also call themselves gay. Nonbinary people who are mainly attracted to other nonbinary people can call themselves homosexual, gay, or [[#NBLNB|NBLNB]] (nonbinary loving nonbinary).

Nonbinary people who also identify as men or women to some degree, and are mainly attracted to the same, may also call themselves homosexual, gay, and/or lesbian.

===Gai===
[[File:Gai flag.png|thumb|right|The gai flag, designed by opalescentorbisian on tumblr. Meaning: "Orange is for [[Galactian system|solarian]] nbs, yellow is for nbs in general, green is for stellarian nbs, blue is for multi-attracted nbs who feel gai towards more than one gender, and purple is for lunarian nbs."]]
The term "gai" is for nonbinary people who feel their attraction is gay but in a nonbinary way.

Others define bisexuality as attraction to two categories of people: the same as one's own gender, and different than one's own gender. Others define bisexuality as attraction to people of any gender. What "bisexuality" means when nonbinary identities are taken into account is a matter of debate. Many people feel that "bi-" reinforces the gender binary, and erases nonbinary identities, preferring pansexual or polysexual. Others<ref>http://www.bisexualindex.org.uk/index.php/Bisexuality#binary</ref> argue that "bisexual" was originally coined to describe a sexuality which included aspects of both heterosexuality and homosexuality, and that it should be interpreted as inclusive of attraction to all genders or sexes.

===Polysexuality===
[[File:Polysexual.jpg|thumb|100px|Polysexual flag.]]
Polysexuality is a sexual orientation with sexual attraction to several genders of people. Polysexuals are attracted towards two or more genders, but not all (as in [[pansexuality]]) and not just both [[binary genders]] (as in some understandings of [[bisexuality]]).<ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polysexuality</ref> The polysexual flag has pink for women, blue for men, and green for nonbinary people. Not to be confused with polyamory, which is about having more than one partner at the same time.

=== Mercuric ===
Also known as mercurian, this term can be used to describe attraction to women, men, and nonbinary people who are aligned towards one or the other, but not other-aligned or unaligned. Intended to be similar to other planetary-related terms to describe attraction for nonbinary people, such as venusic and marsic.<ref>https://loud-and-queer.tumblr.com/post/165489879497/hey-hey-so-i-saw-you-coined-some-terms-for-nb</ref>

==Usually attracted to nonbinary people==

Words for orientations involving [[nonbinary]] people are, at this time in history, not as developed or widely agreed upon as those involving people who have [[binary genders]].

Orientations tend to be named and categorized in a way that involves one's own gender identity. For example, "lesbian" indicates not only that one is attracted to women, but also that one identifies as a woman. Some words for sexual orientations make reference to one's own gender: heterosexuality and homosexuality, gay and lesbian.

Some words for sexual orientations don't make reference to one's own gender, which makes it easier for nonbinary people to use them. This includes androphilic, gynephilic, ceterosexuality, and asexuality. This is also the case for bisexuality, polysexuality, omnisexuality, and pansexuality, which mean attraction to more than one gender of people. People disagree about how each of these involve transgender, nonbinary, and [[intersex]] people, and which of these words is the most inclusive and respectful of the legitimacy of them.

===Androgynesexual===
Androgynesexual and ninsexual refer to attraction to androgynous or gender neutral people.<ref>https://pride-color-schemes.tumblr.com/post/146780123855/nin</ref> However, androgynesexual carries the connotation that the person of attraction is both masculine and feminine, rather than neither.<ref>https://pride-color-schemes.tumblr.com/post/162155422185/androgyne-orientation</ref>

===NBLNB===

Nonbinary people loving nonbinary people (often abbreviated as nblnb, NBlNB, NblNb) is a term that refers to nonbinary people who are sexually and/or romantically attracted to other nonbinary people.

=== Saturnic ===
Attraction solely to other nonbinary people, including those who may be woman-aligned and/or man-aligned, but not to women nor men.<ref>https://www.deviantart.com/pride-flags/art/Saturnic-747909854</ref>

===Ceterosexuality===
Ceterosexuality, formerly skoliosexuality, means a sexual orientation in which a person feels sexual attraction to nonbinary people, and perhaps other kinds of transgender people as well. <ref>Jack Molay. "Transgender and transsexual glossary." January 25, 2010. [http://www.crossdreamers.com/2010/01/transgender-and-transsexual-glossary.html]</ref> Some believe the term is only to be used by non-binary people, though it was coined in the context of binary people's attraction to non-binary people. <ref>http://nelde.deviantart.com/art/Sexual-Attraction-v2-180255547</ref> Non-binary people who are attracted to other non-binary people may also use the term homosexual/homoromantic.
Due to a somewhat problematic etymology (skolio- comes from the Greek for "crooked"), some prefer to use the term ceterosexual, from Latin "cetera", meaning "other".

=== Solaric ===
Attraction solely to solarians, male-aligned nonbinary people, and masculine nonbinary people (but not men).<ref name=":2" />

=== Stellaric ===
Attraction solely to non-aligned nonbinary people and stellarians.<ref name=":2" /><ref>https://www.deviantart.com/pride-flags/art/Stellaric-748747050</ref> Given that this term is based on [[Galactian system#Stellarian|stellarian]], it could also be taken as a term for attraction solely to stellarians and gender-neutral nonbinary people. This would be similar to the origins and use of lunaric and solaric.

=== Terraric ===
Attraction to nonbinary people and stellarians.<ref>https://www.deviantart.com/pride-flags/art/Terraric-1-665395945</ref> Judging by the wording, the use of "nonbinary people" here may be referring to non-aligned nonbinary people.

=== Wisterian ===
"An agender/genderless person who loves enbies." Coined by tumblr user genderless-gibberish.<ref name=":0" />

==Usually not attracted==

===Asexuality===

''Disambiguation: for asexuality in the sense of a person born without sexual organs, that is an intersex condition, so instead see [[intersex]]. People who don't experience sexual attraction are most often not intersex.''

Asexuality is a sexual orientation characterized by lack of sexual attraction. This is often accompanied by low or absent interest in sexual activity. Asexuality is distinct from abstention from sexual activity and from celibacy, which are behavioral and generally motivated by factors such as an individual's personal or religious beliefs. Asexuals may have attraction sometimes but is not performed practically. Though asexuals lack in sexual attraction to any gender, may engage in romantic relationships. Some asexuals identify as [[MOGII]]. This can be because they feel that the category is appropriate because they experience discrimination for their sexuality like lesbian, gay, and bisexual people, because they experience romantic attraction to the same gender, or both. <ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asexuality</ref>

Asexuality is also an umbrella term, and there are many kinds of sexual orientations in the asexual spectrum. One of many kinds of asexuality is gray-asexuality, a sexual orientation that ''partly'' lacks sexual attraction.<ref>Jillian Cottle, "Hallelujah, it's raining labels." [http://jilliancottle.com/hallelujah-its-raining-labels]</ref> Demisexuality is also included under the asexual umbrella.

=== Aromanticism ===
An aromantic is someone who usually experiences little or no romantic attraction, though they may feel other forms of attraction.<ref>[http://wiki.asexuality.org/Aromantic "Aromantic" on AVENwiki]</ref>

===Demisexuality===
Demisexuality is a sexual orientation in which a person feels sexual attraction only to people they have formed a strong bond with, friends for example. Grey-asexuality is similar to demisexuality, but not exactly the same.

== Rolled back your edit on [[Neutrois]] ==

Just giving you the heads up that I reverted your edit on [[Neutrois]]. While [[Transsexual]] is defintely an outdated (and often derogatory) term to refer to the [[transgender]] community at large, it still has a particular defintion which is not entirely captured by [[transgender]]. See "Generally speaking, neutrois is a transsexual identity, meaning that it involves gender dysphoria and a desire to make a physical transition to a gender neutral presentation." This sentence holds for "transsexual", but it does not hold for "transgender" because not all transgender people desire physical transition. If you still want to remove "transsexual" from the page, we should try to make a plan that doesn't narrow the definition of "trangender" to exclude trans folk who don't experience dysphoria. I'm not sure exactly what this would look like, but it will probably be a larger change that what you made before. I want to also thank you so much for contributing to our wiki. It's a pleasure to have you here and I hope you stick around. [[User:Falkirks|Falkirks]] ([[User_talk:Falkirks|talk]]) 05:27, 20 November 2019 (UTC)

'''Neutrois''' is an identity under the [[nonbinary]] and [[transgender]] umbrellas. Generally speaking, neutrois is a [[transsexual]] identity, meaning that it involves [[gender dysphoria]] and a desire to make a physical [[transition]] to a [[gender neutral]] presentation. However, as a result of the diversity of people who identify as neutrois, some of them say they don't have one or more of those traits, and are no less neutrois for it. What is agreed upon is that neutrois is a nonbinary gender identity, and that people of any [[Assigned gender at birth|gender assigned at birth]] can have this identity.<ref>Axey, Qwill, Rave, and Luscious Daniel, eds. "What are neutrois?" ''Neutrois Outpost.'' Last updated November 11, 2000. Retrieved March 2, 2001. [http://web.archive.org/web/20010302160052/http://www.neutrois.com/defin.htm http://web.archive.org/web/20010302160052/http://www.neutrois.com/defin.htm]</ref> Also, a person of any [[ethnicity and culture|cultural or ethnic background]] can call [[Pronouns#They|themself]] neutrois.

==Etymology==

The word "neutrois" was created by a self-identified neutrois person named H. A. Burnham in 1995.<ref>Axey, Qwill, Rave, and Luscious Daniel, eds. “FAQ.” ''Neutrois Outpost''. Last updated 2000-11-23. Retrieved 2001-03-07.

Because French ''trois'' has sounds that are difficult to Anglicize, some pronunciations of neutrois in use are new-TWA,<ref>Mark Gabrish Conlan, "Red: 'Non-Binary' Person Isn’t Male, Female or Anything 'In Between.'" July 17, 2011. ''Zengers Newsmagazine.'' News article.

==History==

In 1995, the word "neutrois" was created by a self-identified neutrois person named H. A. Burnham.<ref>Axey, Qwill, Rave, and Luscious Daniel, eds. “FAQ.” ''Neutrois Outpost''. Last updated 2000-11-23. Retrieved 2001-03-07.

In 2014, neutrois was one of 50 genders made available on the social networking site Facebook.<ref name = "Telegraph" >[http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/facebook/10637968/Facebook-sex-changes-which-one-of-50-genders-are-you.html Facebook sex changes: which one of 50 genders are you?]. ''The Daily Telegraph''. February 14, 2014.</ref>

==Transition==

In 2000, the site ''Neutrois Outpost'' defined neutrois as a transsexual nonbinary identity: "A Neutrois is someone who identifies as being non-gendered and seeks to lose the major physical signifiers that indicate gender to others (breasts, facial and body hair, crotch bulges, etc). Neutrois are not androgynes, but do pursue an androgynous appearance. They are uniquely bound by their gender dysphoria in that they find both male and female orientations wrong. Because of this, transitioning from an assigned gender, to either male, or female identities is not an acceptable solution. [...] Neutrois are trying to lose gender traits, not gain new ones."<ref>Axey, Qwill, Rave, and Luscious Daniel, eds. "What are neutrois?" ''Neutrois Outpost.'' Last updated November 11, 2000. Retrieved March 2, 2001. [http://web.archive.org/web/20010302160052/http://www.neutrois.com/defin.htm http://web.archive.org/web/20010302160052/http://www.neutrois.com/defin.htm]</ref>

Similarly, Micah of ''Neutrois Nonsense'' defines neutrois as a transsexual identity that moves away from familiar gender markers: "Transition is a process of subtraction: a neutrois wishes to get rid of any and all gendered characteristics so as to achieve as neutral a body as possible. Physical transition may consist primarily in the removal of primary and/or secondary sex characteristics, such as genitals or breasts and body hair. Because the concept and identity of neutrois is relatively new, not all neutrois have undergone surgery, or even seriously want to undergo surgery or physical transition yet."<ref>Micah. "Define." ''Neutrois Nonsense.'' [http://neutrois.me/neutrois/ http://neutrois.me/neutrois/]</ref>

Neutrois people can have had any gender assigned at birth. As such, some neutrois transition in a direction that is female-to-neutrois (FTN), and others are male-to-neutrois (MTN).<ref>Axey, Qwill, Rave, and Luscious Daniel, eds. "What are neutrois?"

==Other uses of neutrois==

Some people who have adopted it, or defined it, have given it additional definitions that are different than, or at odds with, its original and main use.

According to Neutrois.com, there are currently two main definitions of neutrois: 1. Neutrois people use the word to mean that they have a gender identity that is neither male nor female, but neutral.<ref name="whatis">"What is neutrois?" ''Neutrois.com.'' http://neutrois.com/what-is-neutrois/ http://neutrois.com/what-is-neutrois/]</ref> 2. Other neutrois people use the word to mean that they have no internal sense of [[Gender identity|gender identity]]. In this latter definition, it's a synonym for agender or genderless.<ref name="whatis">"What is neutrois?" ''Neutrois.com.'' http://neutrois.com/what-is-neutrois/ http://neutrois.com/what-is-neutrois/]</ref>

Some consider neutrois to be a form of [[Transsexual|transsexuality]]. Some neutrois people feel [[Gender dysphoria|gender dysphoria]], and some don't. Some neutrois people seek to physically [[Transition|transition]] to an ambiguous, androgynous, or neutral [[Gender expression|gender expression]], whereas some don't seek this.<ref name="whatis">"What is neutrois?" ''Neutrois.com.'' http://neutrois.com/what-is-neutrois/ http://neutrois.com/what-is-neutrois/]</ref><ref>"Define." ''Neutrois Nonsense.'' [http://neutrois.me/neutrois]</ref>

Some use the word neutrois as a synonym of [[Agender|agender or genderless]], whereas others say these words mean completely different things, and are not interchangeable words.<ref name="whatis">"What is neutrois?" ''Neutrois.com.'' http://neutrois.com/what-is-neutrois/ http://neutrois.com/what-is-neutrois/]</ref> For more information on this dispute, see the main article at [[Agender#Difference between genderless and neutrois|Difference between genderless and neutrois]].

==Similar genders==

Neutrois isn't another word for [[androgyne]]. According to ''Neutrois Outpost'', the difference between neutrois people and androgynes is gender dysphoria: "While Neutrois seek an androgynous appearance, androgynes aren't Neutrois because being Neutrois involves gender dysphoria. Androgynes don't necessarily have any difficulties with their gender identities."<ref>Axey, Qwill, Rave, and Luscious Daniel, eds. “FAQ.” ''Neutrois Outpost''. Last updated 2000-11-23. Retrieved 2001-03-07. [http://web.archive.org/web/20010307115554/http://www.neutrois.com/faq.htm http://web.archive.org/web/20010307115554/http://www.neutrois.com/faq.htm]</ref>

The origin of the word [[androgyne]] means "male-female," such as a person who is a mix of male and female. For this reason, some neutrois people don't want to also be called androgynes, because their gender identity is an ''absence'' of male and female, not a mix of ''both'' male and female. ''Neutrois Nonsense'' says, "Neutrois is not androgyne, it’s quite the opposite. Androgyny is a combination of female and male characteristics, while neutrois is an elimination of them."<ref>Micah. "Define." ''Neutrois Nonsense.'' [http://neutrois.me/neutrois/ http://neutrois.me/neutrois/]</ref>

While these are only some definitions for androgyne, which itself has many meanings that are not agreed upon, this still highlights that people adopt the word "neutrois" for themselves because they feel the word "androgyne" has meanings that don't suit them.

Depending on which definition a person uses for neutrois, some other gender identity labels have a similar meaning. If one defines neutrois as having a gender identity that is not female or male, it can mean much the same as [[aporagender]] or [[maverique]]. However, these have their own nuances of meaning.

Falkirks: /* Variant and alternative acronyms */

{{Content warning|reclaimed slurs}}

[[File:Gay flag.svg|thumb|Alt=The colours of the LGBT flag in horizontal stripes. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple.|The LGBT rainbow flag, based on the one designed in 1978.]]'''LGBT''' is short for "[[romantic and sexual orientation#Lesbian|Lesbian]], [[romantic and sexual orientation|Gay]], [[romantic and sexual orientation#Bisexuality|Bisexual]], and [[Transgender]]." It is the most well-known collective term for the community of gender, sex and sexuality minorities. Many towns and universities have LGBT groups for local socialising, networking, and [[activism]].

==Variant and alternative acronyms==

The LGBT acronym is sometimes written as LGB, intentionally not including transgender people as part of this group. This can be accurate for resources and groups are only about sexual orientation, not gender identity. LGBT is also sometimes written in a different order: GLBT.

Since the use of the term LGBT became widespread, other minorities have been accepted into the community and added to the end of LGBT acronym in various combinations. These include: [[Intersex]], [[Romantic and sexual orientation|Pansexual]], [[Asexual]], [[Queer]], [[Questioning]], and others. This results in a variety of acronyms, such as LGBTQ, LGBTIQAP, and LGBTQQAP. Since the string of letters can get very long, some writers just imply them by writing a plus sign on the end, such as LGBT+, or LGBTQQAP+. The A, when it is added, typically refers to asexual and aromantic. However there has been some argument by exclusionists that the A stands for allies, as a tactic to separate them from the larger community.

Because the ever longer acronym can become cumbersome to say, some propose rearranging the letters into different acronyms. Others propose an entirely different acronym that summarizes the commonalities of LGBT+ identities, rather than listing them, such as:

*'''QUILTBAG''' (queer/questioning, undecided, intersex, lesbian, transgender, bisexual, asexual, gay) was among the first proposed alternative acronyms. Though it is longer, having the acronym be a pronounceable word made it easy to talk about. However this also leads to confusion, as it is not a distinct word.

*'''SAGA''' (Sexual and Gender Acceptance) is among the acronyms that seek to describe the common threads amongst the community, rather than list out all the possible identities. However, like QUILTBAG, it is a word that has a different meaning, which causes confusion.It also describes an organization, Sexuality and Gender Alliance.

* '''GSM''' (gender and sexuality minorities), or '''GSRM''' (gender, sex, and romantic minorities). Criticisms of this term: This excludes some people it shouldn't, such as [[intersex]] people, whose sex is neither a gender nor a sexuality. This term has been considered harmful because it could include some kinds of people it shouldn't: people who aren't LGBT+, such as [[cisgender]] [[heterosexual]] people who consider themselves "sexuality minorities" because they have unusual sexual fetishes, or even harmful paraphilias such as pedophilia.<ref>Bird.

Though this term seeks to be the most inclusive, it has been criticized by some for the same reasons "GSM" has gained criticism.

==Queer==
Queer is a word with a complex history. Some people choose not to use an acronym, and instead use the word "[[queer]]" as a collective term for all these LGBT identities. It is used as a concise way of referring to all parts of the LGBT community. It's also used for all the more difficult-to-define identities that are not [[heterosexuality|heterosexual]] and/or not [[cisgender]].

Beginning in around the 1980s the word "queer" began to become a political reclamation. Flyers like one circulated in the 1990 New York Pride Parade proclaimed queer as a word indicative of a rejection of heteronormative standards <ref>http://www.qrd.org/qrd/misc/text/queers.read.this</ref> . For many people even today, "queer" represents a rejection of assimilation and respectability politics.

However, "queer" has, and remains in some places, a slur used towards LGBT people<ref>''Cassell's Dictionary of Slang,'' 2nd ed (2005), p. 1161.</ref><ref>''The Routledge Dictionary of Modern American Slang and Unconventional English'' (2008), p. 792-793.</ref>. The degree to which queer is an offensive word varies by region and by generation. In the early 1990s, the academic discipline of [[queer theory]] emerged. This comes from the use of "queer" as a political statement and a gender stance, which places the queerness as being against assimilation. The field of queer theory not only looks into LGBT history, but the ramifications of queer theory itself<ref>https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=PNYlUuvPOQ8C&pg=PA1&source=gbs_toc_r&cad=3#v=onepage&q&f=false</ref>.

However, in other settings, whether rural or urban, queer is a strong slurs against LGBT people. In hate crimes, the word is used along with or instead of strong slurs. As with other hate speech, it is very common among LGBT+ people for the word to be a trigger for post-traumatic flashbacks of memories of violence, harassment, and abuse. As explained by [[non-gendered]] activist Christie Elan-Cane, LGBT people who are used to hearing it used as a slur don't want academics and psychologists apply it to them, and they don't like the word [[genderqueer]].<ref>Christie Elan-Cane.

Falkirks: /* Variant and alternative acronyms */

{{Content warning|reclaimed slurs}}

[[File:Gay flag.svg|thumb|Alt=The colours of the LGBT flag in horizontal stripes. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple.|The LGBT rainbow flag, based on the one designed in 1978.]]'''LGBT''' is short for "[[romantic and sexual orientation#Lesbian|Lesbian]], [[romantic and sexual orientation|Gay]], [[romantic and sexual orientation#Bisexuality|Bisexual]], and [[Transgender]]." It is the most well-known collective term for the community of gender, sex and sexuality minorities. Many towns and universities have LGBT groups for local socialising, networking, and [[activism]].

==Variant and alternative acronyms==

The LGBT acronym is sometimes written as LGB, intentionally not including transgender people as part of this group. This can be accurate for resources and groups are only about sexual orientation, not gender identity. LGBT is also sometimes written in a different order: GLBT.

Since the use of the term LGBT became widespread, other minorities have been accepted into the community and added to the end of LGBT acronym in various combinations. These include: [[Intersex]], [[Romantic and sexual orientation|Pansexual]], [[Asexual]], [[Queer]], [[Questioning]], and others. This results in a variety of acronyms, such as LGBTQ, LGBTIQAP, and LGBTQQAP. Since the string of letters can get very long, some writers just imply them by writing a plus sign on the end, such as LGBT+, or LGBTQQAP+. The A, when it is added, typically refers to asexual and aromantic. However there has been some argument by aspec exclusionists that the A stands for allies, as a tactic to separate them from the larger community.

Because the ever longer acronym can become cumbersome to say, some propose rearranging the letters into different acronyms. Others propose an entirely different acronym that summarizes the commonalities of LGBT+ identities, rather than listing them, such as:

*'''QUILTBAG''' (queer/questioning, undecided, intersex, lesbian, transgender, bisexual, asexual, gay) was among the first proposed alternative acronyms. Though it is longer, having the acronym be a pronounceable word made it easy to talk about. However this also leads to confusion, as it is not a distinct word.

*'''SAGA''' (Sexual and Gender Acceptance) is among the acronyms that seek to describe the common threads amongst the community, rather than list out all the possible identities. However, like QUILTBAG, it is a word that has a different meaning, which causes confusion.It also describes an organization, Sexuality and Gender Alliance.

== Subdomains ==

Hi! Please, see [[Nonbinary:General_discussion#Translating_the_Wiki]]. Would it be possible to have a pl.nonbinary.wiki subdomain pointing to the miraheze nameservers (as described [https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Custom_domains here])? --[[User:NeoMahler|NeoMahler]] ([[User talk:NeoMahler|talk]]) 17:31, 18 January 2018 (UTC)

: The top level ns for nonbinary.wiki is already pointed to miraheze, this means they have control over all subdomains (eg: pl.nonbinary.wiki). I don't think there is anything I can do on my end. [[User:Falkirks|Falkirks]] ([[User_talk:Falkirks|talk]]) 20:36, 18 January 2018 (UTC)

:: Oh, ok. Then, that means that if I request a subdomain pl.nonbinary.wiki they will be able to create it without you doing anything? --[[User:NeoMahler|NeoMahler]] ([[User talk:NeoMahler|talk]]) 21:53, 18 January 2018 (UTC)
::: Yeah, it should be possible. I don't know if they allow multiple domains, but if they do, they have the ability to do it. [[User:Falkirks|Falkirks]] ([[User_talk:Falkirks|talk]]) 22:03, 18 January 2018 (UTC)

Hi! If you don't mind the little extra responsibility, I'll give you "apprentice admin" permissions on the wiki, which basically means that you can quickly rollback edits, protect pages from being edited, delete and undelete them, and block users. Those are the basic admin permissions, and it would be nice to have other people to keep an eye on things, because timezones and simply the inability to be watching all the time. There's no pressure, and if you prefer not to have them, that's not a problem, although there won't be a lot of work (the abuse filter catches most of the trolls anyway). I've also asked amazingAkita.

Also, are you still on the Discord? I can't find you. --[[User:Ondo|Ondo]] ([[User talk:Ondo|talk]]) 15:38, 1 August 2019 (UTC)

History of nonbinary gender

2019-07-15T03:03:35Z

Falkirks: Undo revision 8271 by 2601:701:C000:767F:48F9:2ADD:E789:6ABB (talk)

This article on the '''history of nonbinary gender''' should focus on events directly or indirectly concerning people with [[nonbinary]] [[gender identity|gender identities]]. It should not be about [[LGBT]] history in general. However, this history will likely need to give dates for a few events about things other than nonbinary gender, such as major events that made more visibility of [[transgender]] people in general, [[gender variant]] people from early history who may or may not have been what we think of as nonbinary, and laws that concern [[intersex]] people that can also have an effect on the legal rights of nonbinary people.

'''Content warnings:''' This history may need to talk about some troubling events that could have been traumatic for some readers. Some historical quotes use language that is now seen as offensive.

==Tips==

Here are some tips for writing respectfully about historical gender variant people whose actual preferred names, pronouns, and gender identities might not be known.

* '''Dead names.''' It is disrespectful to call a transgender person by their former name ("dead name") rather than the name that they chose for themself. Some consider their dead name a secret that shouldn't be put in public at all. For living transgender people in particular, this history should show only their chosen names, not their dead names. In this history, some deceased historical transgender persons may have their birth names shown in addition to their chosen names, in cases where it is not known which name they preferred, or where it is otherwise impossible to find information about that person, if one wants to research their history. This should be written in the form of "Chosen Name (née Birth Name)." If history isn't sure which name that person earnestly preferred, write it in the form of "Name, or Other Name."
* '''Pronouns.''' It is disrespectful to call a person by pronouns other than those that they ask for. Some historical persons whose preferred pronouns aren't known should be called here by [[Pronouns#No pronouns|no pronouns]]. If this isn't possible, [[Pronouns#They|they]] pronouns.
* '''Words for a person's gender, assigned and otherwise.''' It is disrespectful to label a person's gender otherwise than they ask for, but it's not always possible to do so. In the case of some historical people, history has recorded how they lived, and what [[gender assigned at birth|gender they were assigned at birth]], but not how they preferred to label their gender identity. For example, it's not known whether certain historical people who were assigned female at birth ([[AFAB]]) lived as men because they identified as men (were [[transgender men]]), or because it was the only way to have a career in that time and place (and were gender non-conforming [[cisgender women]]). This should be mentioned in the more respectful form of, for example, "assigned male at birth ([[AMAB]]), lived as a woman," rather than "really a man, passed as a woman." For another example, writing "a military doctor discovered Smith was AFAB" is more respectful than saying "a military doctor discovered Smith was really a woman." For people who lived before the word "transgender" was created, it may be more suitable to call them "gender variant" rather than "transgender." On the other hand, if we have enough information about such a person, we may do best by such people by describing them with the terminology that they most likely would have used for their gender identity if they lived in the present day, with our language.

==Wanted events in this time-line==

Please help fill out this time-line if you can add information of these kinds:
* Events in the movement for keeping the genders of babies undisclosed.
* Events concerning [[nonbinary celebrities]], and historical persons who clearly stated they were neither female nor male, or both, or androgynes, etc.
* Skim nonbinary blogs looking for past and current historical events.
* Events that show that transgender and especially nonbinary gender identities existed long before the twentieth century.
* Changes in the use of gendered versus gender-neutral language.

==Antiquity==
* In Mesopotamian mythology, among the earliest written records of humanity, there are references to types of people who are neither male nor female. Sumerian and Akkadian tablets from the 2nd millennium BCE and 1700 BCE describe how the gods created these people, their roles in society, and words for different kinds of them. These included eunuchs, women who couldn't or weren't allowed to have children, men who live as women, intersex people, gay people, and others.<ref>Murray, Stephen O., and Roscoe, Will (1997).

* In ancient Egypt (Middle Kingdom, 2000-1800 BCE), there were said to be three genders of humans: men, ''sekhet (sht)'', and women, in that order. Sekhet is usually translated as "eunuch," but that's probably an oversimplification of what this gender category means, especially because there is no certain record of "eunuchs" having been castrated in ancient Egypt. It may also mean cisgender gay men, in the sense of not having children, and not necessarily someone who was castrated.<ref>Sethe, Kurt, (1926), ''Die Aechtung feindlicher Fürsten, Völker und Dinge auf altägyptischen Tongefäßscherben des mittleren Reiches,'' in: Abhandlungen der Preussischen Akademie der Wissenschaften, Philosophisch-Historische Klasse, 1926, p. 61.</ref><ref>[http://www.well.com/user/aquarius/egypt.htm The Third Gender in Ancient Egypt], Faris Malik.

''"Born Eunuchs" Home Page and Library.'' 1999. https://people.well.com/user/aquarius/egypt.htm</ref>
* Many cultures and ethnic groups have concepts of [[gender-variant identities worldwide|traditional gender-variant roles]], with a history of them going back to antiquity. For example, [[Hijra]] and [[Two-Spirit]]. These gender identities and roles are often analogous to nonbinary identity, as they don't fit into the Western idea of the [[gender binary]] roles.

==Eleventh century==

* ''Wæpen-wifestre'', or ''wæpned-wifestre'' (Anglo-Saxon, ''wæpen'' "sword," "penis," "male" (or ''wæpned'' "weaponed," "with a penis," "male") + ''wif'' woman, + ''estre'' feminine suffix, thus "woman with a weapon," "woman with a penis," or "man woman") was defined in an eleventh-century glossary (Antwerp Plantin-Moretus 32) as meaning "hermaphrodite." The counterpart of this word, ''wæpned-mann,'' simply meant "a person armed with a sword" or "male person."<ref>Dana Oswald, ''Monsters, Gender and Sexuality in Medieval English Literature.'' Rochester, NY: D.S. Brewer, 2010. p. 93.</ref><ref name="ClarkMedieval">David Clark. ''Between medieval men: Male friendship and desire in early medieval English literature.'' Oxford University Press, 2009. P. 63-65.</ref> ''Wæpen-wifestre'' is known to be a synonym for "scrat" (intersex).<ref>''Catholicon Anglicum: An English-Latin Word-book, dated 1483, volume 30.'' Accessed via Google Books: https://books.google.com/books?id=I7wKAAAAYAAJ&dq=%22W%C3%A6pen-wifestre%22&pg=PA325#v=onepage&q=%22W%C3%A6pen-wifestre%22&f=false</ref> Another synonym given for ''wæpen-wifestre'' is ''bæddel,'' an which also means intersex, but also feminine men, from which the word "bad" is thought to be derived, due to its use as a slur.<ref>"bad (adj.)" ''Online Etymology Dictionary.'' https://www.etymonline.com/word/bad</ref> The related word ''bæddling'' was used in eleventh-century laws for men who had sex with men in a receptive role.<ref name="ClarkMedieval" /> Additional meanings of ''wæpen-wifestre'' are possible. When ''wæpen-wifestre'' is read as "woman with a penis," it could describe a feminine man, a man who has sex with men, or a transgender woman. When read as "woman with a sword," it could refer to a warrior woman. When read as "man woman," it could mean not only an intersex person, but also people who transgressed the gender binary that seems to have been the rule in Anglo-Saxon England, as far as is known from limited literature from that era. From this range of meanings that the word potentially covers, it's possible that ''wæpen-wifestre'' may have been a general category for intersex, queer, and gender-variant people in Britain contemporary to Beowulf.

==Seventeenth century==

* A blog post by the Merriam Webster dictionary editors says, "In the 17th century, English laws concerning inheritance sometimes referred to people who didn’t fit a gender binary using the pronoun ''it'', which, while dehumanizing, was conceived of as being the most grammatically fit answer to gendered pronouns around then."<ref>“Words We’re Watching: Singular 'They:' Though singular 'they' is old, 'they' as a nonbinary pronoun is new—and useful.” ''Merriam Webster.'' https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/singular-nonbinary-they Captured November 2017.</ref> This is an example of people being considered legally outside of male and female. ''Editors at this wiki would appreciate more information and sources about the laws in question, their dates, and what categories of people they referred to. (Unborn children? Intersex people? People who didn't conform to gender norms?)''

==Eighteenth century==

* "[[Singular they]]" had already been the standard [[English neutral pronouns|gender-neutral pronoun in English]] for hundreds of years. However, in 1745, prescriptive grammarians began to say that it was no longer acceptable. Their reasoning was that neutral pronouns don't exist in Latin, which was thought to be a better language, so English shouldn't use them, either. They instead began to recommend using "[[English neutral pronouns#He|he]]" as a gender-neutral pronoun.<ref>Maria Bustillos, "Our desperate, 250-year-long search for a gender-neutral pronoun." January 6, 2011. [http://www.theawl.com/2011/01/our-desperate-250-year-long-search-for-a-gender-neutral-pronoun http://www.theawl.com/2011/01/our-desperate-250-year-long-search-for-a-gender-neutral-pronoun]</ref> This started the dispute over the problem of acceptable gender-neutral pronouns in English, which has carried on for centuries now.
* [[Jens Andersson]] was a nonbinary person in Norway, who married a woman in 1781. It was soon discovered that Andersson had a female body, and the marriage was annulled, while Andersson was accused of sodomy. In the trial, Andersson was asked: "Are you a man or a woman?" It was recorded that the answer was that "he thinks he may be both".[https://skeivtarkiv.no/skeivopedia/et-besynderligt-givtermaal-mellem-tvende-fruentimmer]

==Nineteenth century==

* The earliest known true [[transsexual]] genital conversion [[surgery]] of any kind was performed in 1882 on a [[Binary genders#Transgender men|trans man]] named Herman Karl.<ref>James Sears, ''Gay, Lesbian and Transgender Issues in Education.'' p. 109. [http://books.google.com/books?id=w7365W7rQKQC&lpg=PA109&ots=gSa98lwR0v&dq=sophia%20hedwig%20transgender%20herman%20karl&pg=PA109#v=onepage&q=sophia%20hedwig%20transgender%20herman%20karl&f=false Google Books link]</ref> However, "earliest transsexual genital conversion surgery" depends on one's definition. [[Eunuch]]s have been around for all of human history, and while many eunuchs consider themselves [[Binary genders#Cisgender men|cisgender men]], many others consider themselves another gender that isn't female or male, such as [[hijra]]. Some sources credit the first trans male genital conversion surgery as, instead, the one performed on a trans man named Michael Dillon in the 1930s, perhaps depending on how one defines that surgery.
[[File:Karl Heinrich Ulrichs (from Kennedy).jpg|thumb|150px|Karl Heinrich Ulrichs (1825-1895), who described "a neutral sex" that was not physically intersex.]]
* Karl Heinrich Ulrichs (1825-1895) developed a theory in which men who are attracted to men and women who are attracted to women are thus because they are members of a third sex, a mixture of both male and female, and with the psyche or essence of the "opposite" sex, even though their bodies look like normal male and female bodies. The terms "homosexual," "bisexual," and "heterosexual" didn't exist yet, so he coined terms for them all. The overall phenomenon he called [[Uranismus]] (in the original German, ''Urningtum''), gay men were uranians (German ''urnings''), lesbians were uraniads (German ''urningin'', as ''-in'' is the feminine suffix), whereas heterosexuals were ''Dionings'', so bisexual men were ''uranodionings,'' and so on, all of which were distinct from ''zwitter'' (intersex). Ulrichs based this naming system on "Plato's ''Symposium'', where two different kinds of love [...are] ruled by two different goddesses of love-- Aphrodite, daughter of Uranus, and Aphrodite, daughter of Zeus and Dione. The second Aphrodite rules those who love the opposite sex." <ref>''We are everywhere: A historical sourcebook of gay and lesbian politics.'' P. 61. https://books.google.com/books?id=rDG3xdtDutkC&lpg=PA64&dq=urning&pg=PA65#v=onepage&q=urning&f=false</ref> Ulrichs argued that their condition was as natural and healthy as that of what we now call heterosexual people, and he started the movement fighting for their equal legal rights to express their love "between consenting adults, with the free consent of both parties," in his words from 1870, and that they should not be pathologized nor criminalized for doing so.<ref name="UlrichsAraxes">Karl Heinrich Ulrichs, "Araxes: Appeal for the liberation of the urning's nature from penal law." 1870. Excerpt reprinted in: ''We are everywhere: A historical sourcebook of gay and lesbian politics.''

Although Uranismus was generally addressed in terms of orientation, Ulrichs specifically described various categories of uranians in terms of their gender nonconformity and gender variance. For example, in regard to feminine gay men or queens (who he called ''Weiblings''), Ulrichs wrote in 1879, <blockquote>"The Weibling is a total mixture of male and female, in which the female element is even predominant, a thoroughly hermaphroditically organized being. Despite his male sexual organs, he is more woman than man. He is a woman with male sexual organs. He is a neutral sex. He is a neuter. He is the hermaphrodite of the ancients."<ref name="UlrichsArrow">Karl Heinrich Ulrichs, "Critical arrow." 1879.

: Ulrichs goes on to say the direct counterpart of the Weibling among those were were assigned female at birth is "the masculine-inspired, woman-loving Mannlingin," who is equally gender-variant.<ref name="UlrichsArrow" /> Ulrichs emphasizes that Uranismus includes gender-variant people, distinct from those who conform from their gender, and also distinct from people born with physical intersex characteristics. As such, Uranismus included people who might today identify as nonbinary.
* Based on Ulrich's work, which were the foundation of Western notions of LGBT people for the next several decades, clinical beliefs around the time of the 1890s "conflat[ed] sex, sexual orientation, and gender expression," thinking of (to use modern words for them) gay, lesbian, transgender, and gender non-conforming people as all having some kind of intersex condition. Such people were said to have "sexual inversion," and were called "inverts."<ref>"What's the history behind the intersex rights movement?" ''Intersex Society of North America.'' http://www.isna.org/faq/history </ref>. Another name used for the same category through the 1890s and 1910s was "the intermediate sex," or the "intermediates," which was not physically intersex, and was understood to be often (though not always) gender nonconforming.<ref>Edward Carpenter.

* "In 1895, a group of self-described '[[androgyne|androgynes]]' in New York organized a 'little club called the Cercle Hermaphroditos, based on their self-perceived need 'to unite for defense against the world's bitter persecution.'" This group included people who, in today's words, may have called themselves cross-dressers and transgender people.<ref>Susan Stryker, "Why the T in LGBT is here to stay." ''Salon.''

* During the 1910s, German sexologist Magnus Hirschfeld created the word "transvestite," which at the time meant many more kinds of transgender and even transsexual people. Hirschfeld opened the first clinic to regularly serve them.<ref>Trans Health editors, “Timeline of gender identity research.” 2002-04-23. http://www.trans-health.com/2002/timeline-of-gender-identity-research </ref> Hirschfeld's Institute of Sex Research had a library of literature about LGBT people, collected from all over Europe, that couldn't be found anywhere else. This started to bring about a revolution in how society understood and accepted LGBT people, and allowing [[children]] to be [[gender nonconformity|gender nonconforming]]. Then, in 1933, the Nazis destroyed it all. This set back LGBT rights for another 40 or so years. The progress wasn't matched again until at least 1990.

===1970s===

* During the 1970s and 1980s, feminists Casey Miller and Kate Swift were significant influences on encouraging people to take up [[gender neutral language|gender inclusive language]], as an alternative to sexist language that excludes or dehumanizes women. Some of their books on this are ''Words and Women'' (1976) and ''The Handbook of Nonsexist Writing'' (1980). They also encoraged the use of gender neutral pronouns.<ref>Elizabeth Isele, "Casey Miller and Kate Swift: Women who dared to disturb the lexicon." http://scholar.lib.vt.edu/ejournals/old-WILLA/fall94/h2-isele.html </ref> Though their work doesn't directly acknowledge the existence of people outside the gender binary, it did help break down societal views of masculine-as-default, and even the extent of the gender binary in language.
* Up until the 1970s, LGBT people of all kinds largely had a sense of being on the same side together. A major rift started in 1979, when [[Binary genders#Cisgender women|cisgender woman]] Janice Raymond wrote the book ''Transsexual Empire,'' which outlined a transphobic conspiracy theory which told cisgender women to fear trans women. This started the [[cissexism|trans-exclusionary movement]]. As a result, many feminist, lesbian, and women-only spaces became hostile to trans women. This dividing issue made it difficult for feminism to develop an understanding of transgender issues in general. In response, the movement of transgender studies began with an essay by trans woman Sandy Stone in 1987.<ref>"History of transgenderism in the United States." ''Wikipedia.'' Retrieved November 29, 2014. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_transgenderism_in_the_United_States http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_transgenderism_in_the_United_States]</ref>

===1980s===

* In the 1980s, the handbook of psychiatry, the DSM-III, included "Gender Identity Disorder" to diagnose people as transsexual.<ref>Trans Health editors, “Timeline of gender identity research.” 2002-04-23. http://www.trans-health.com/2002/timeline-of-gender-identity-research </ref> It frames being trans as a strictly pathological mental condition. Getting this diagnosis becomes a necessary step for many trans people to transition. Psychologists during this time believed that a legitimately trans person needed to conform very closely to the [[gender binary]], and even needed to be heterosexual. The psychologists focused on trans women, and isolated them from one another, so they had little community. Meanwhile, trans men got less help from that system, and so they largely left it and formed their own communities.<ref>fakecisgirl, "The Misery Pimps: The People Who Impede Trans Liberation."

* In the 1980s and 1990s, Michael Spivak used a set of [[English neutral pronouns#E|gender-neutral "E, Emself" pronouns]] in his math books, in order to avoid indicating a person's gender. The same or similar pronoun had been coined independently by others in prior years. Due to how Spivak popularized these particular pronouns, these soon became known as "spivak pronouns" when they were built into a place where people talked together on the Internet.<ref>"Gender-neutral pronoun FAQ."

Nonbinary gender in fiction

2019-07-02T23:16:48Z

Falkirks: adding on request of @Terrana

{{featured article}}
This list of [[fictional depictions of nonbinary gender]] is for taking note of all examples of [[nonbinary]] [[gender identity]] in fiction in any kind of media. The media includes animation, board and card games, books and other literature, comics and graphic novels, movies, performance, TV, webseries, and video games. Since most people don't know that people can have a nonbinary gender identity, the way that nonbinary genders are represented in fiction can be a valuable part of nonbinary visibility and awareness. Fiction can also be an outlet for nonbinary people to explore their identities and the possibilities of society's attitudes toward them. These are reasons why representation matters. It's very rare for fiction to have any real representation of nonbinary gender. It's almost as rare for characters to have an undisclosed gender, or to have a fictional sex, which almost but not really counts as nonbinary representation. They're close enough that they are dealt with on this page anyway, since sometimes the distinctions aren't clear.

There is a difference between being born with a physical [[intersex]] condition, and having a nonbinary gender identity. Many intersex people identify as just [[female]] or [[male]], not nonbinary. Many nonbinary people were not intersex, meaning they were [[AFAB|assigned female at birth]] or [[AMAB|assigned male at birth]]. If a character has a real-life kind of intersex condition, you should still list them on this page only if they also have a nonbinary gender identity.

If you add a piece of media to this list, please tell exactly which character is nonbinary, and how this is told in canon, or your entry will be deleted. Don't include media here that just has a popular "headcanon" (a fan's imaginary interpretation) of a nonbinary character, because this isn't representation. Please give direct quotes from canon that are evidence that the character is nonbinary.

==Nonbinary genders in fiction==

This section is for the most true-to-life representation of nonbinary gender identities. The story explicitly says that they don't identify as a woman or man, but as a different gender. The characters aren't nonbinary because of having fictional sexes. Their physical sexes and genders assigned at birth are non-intersex or a real-life intersex condition. If their physical sex or gender assigned at birth is undisclosed, their gender identity is still explicitly, specifically labeled as not female or male, but something else. They may or may not take a social or physical transition in their gender expression. They may or may not look androgynous. They may or may not go by gender-neutral pronouns.

===Animation===

* ''Ouran Highschool Host Club'' features the character Haruhi Fujioka, who is assigned female at birth, but "happened to be" dressed in a masculine manner. When their friends discover their sex, they ask, "You're a girl?!" to which they reply, "Biologically, yes." They later state that they do not think a person's gender is important, which many fans see as a sign that Haruhi is [[agender]] or genderblind. They are typically referred to using traditionally feminine pronouns such as "she", though Haruhi has shown no preference.
* In ''Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann'', the character Leeron states "I'm both and neither a man and a woman."<ref>''Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann'', episode 2</ref> (Most fans treat Leeron as a gay man.)

===Audio===
* In the podcast ''The Adventure Zone'', a minor character named Roswell (an Earth Elemental made of living clay in a suit of armor, who talks via a small bird) is [[agender]] and uses they/them pronouns.<ref>[https://theadventurezone.wikia.com/wiki/Roswell The Adventure Zone Wiki: Roswell]</ref>
* In the podcast series ''Welcome To Night Vale'', there are several non-binary characters who are referred to with "they" pronouns. Recurring non-binary characters include a scientist named Alice and the town's new Sheriff, Sam.

===Board and card games===

* “Ashiok” from the popular card game Magic: The Gathering is explicitly referred to as being nongendered. Though some depictions of the character include “he” as a pronoun, a lead designer from the company that makes the game has insisted on numerous occasions that the character is explicitly nongendered.<ref name=dougbeyertaggedashiok>[http://dougbeyermtg.tumblr.com/tagged/ashiok ''A Voice for Vorthos – Posts tagged with “Ashiok”''], Retrieved 29th September 2014, Doug Beyer’s Blog – A Voice for Vorthos.</ref> Even going so far as to write stories which avoid referring to Ashiok using gendered pronouns at all.<ref name=dougbeyerashiokstories>[http://dougbeyermtg.tumblr.com/post/85018556969/ok-so-when-are-we-going-to-learn-more-about-the ''A Voice for Vorthos – Ok so when are we going to learn more about the specifics about Ashiok?

* ''[https://www.choiceofgames.com/versus-the-lost-ones/ VERSUS: The Lost Ones]'' by Zachary Sergi (published in 2015 by Choice of Games LLC) is a sci-fi interactive novel where it's possible to play a nonbinary character. The player's character, Thomil, comes from a planet where everyone telepathically shares their thoughts and feelings with one another. A couple chapters into the story, the player is asked about their character's gender. They can choose from six options: a cisgender woman, transgender woman, cis man, trans man, intersex, or "I don't subscribe to any gender categories". Choosing the last option sets Thomil's stats to say "Gender: Not Applicable," and brings up these remarks in the narrative: "You are both genders, but you are also neither gender. You believe gender defies categorization, operating on a kind of sliding scale-- one that can change every day. You've come across [foreign planets'] texts about other cultures where such thinking is considered taboo or even sacrilegious, but in a society where everyone can quite literally share their thoughts and experiences, it's fairly impossible not to accept others once you understand who they truly are. Besides, even the most staunchly 'male' or 'female' cisgenders admit that sometimes they feel more 'masculine' or 'feminine' at different times. You just take that kind of thinking to a whole new level." The narration in ''VERSUS'' makes clear that this is not an undisclosed gender or a fantasy sex, but a nonbinary gender identity. Though Thomil comes from a sci-fi setting where where this and other transgender identities are accepted, this is a realistic depiction of a nonbinary person.

==Undisclosed gender in fiction==

Some characters have their gender and sex hidden and not told about. This might be kept a secret for the entire story. Readers and viewers can only guess about the character's gender, or they can be comfortable with not knowing. This can be an interesting device in fiction that makes us take notice of our assumptions and stereotypes. However, it isn't really the same thing as representation of nonbinary gender identities. A character whose gender is never explicitly stated ''could'' be nonbinary, especially if their [[gender expression]] involves going to great efforts to make sure nobody knows their gender. However, they ''could'' just as likely be female, or male. What makes someone nonbinary is if they identify as nonbinary. However, in this case the viewers don't get to know how that character identifies. Also note that looking [[androgyny|androgynous]] doesn't mean that someone identifies as an [[androgyne]].

===Animation===
* In ''Adventure Time'', a fantasy series, a recurring side character, BMO (Beemo), is popularly seen by fans as genderless, but canon is less than clear on this. BMO is a tiny robot resembling a video game console, with a high, childlike voice (by actress Niki Yang). Nothing in the canon states outright that BMO is female, male, or otherwise. However, a strong clue for the latter is that in "Fionna and Cake," an alternative universe gender-swap episode (meaning all female characters are shown as male and vice versa), BMO is the only character with no visible change, apart from his controller.<ref>adventuretime.wikia.com/wiki/BMO</ref> As seen elsewhere on this page, it's not uncommon for robots to be written as genderless.
** BMO's pronouns: Other characters often use pronouns for BMO in the canon. BMO is called "he" by Finn, Jake, Sleepy Sam, and Cuber in the episodes "Rainy Day Daydream," "Guardians of Sunshine," "Return to the Nightosphere," "The Creeps," and "Five Short Graybles."<ref>adventuretime.wikia.com/wiki/BMO</ref> Fans claim that characters also sometimes call BMO "she" or "it," but specific canon evidence of this still wants to be recorded here.
** BMO's titles: Though Finn has often referred to BMO as "he," Finn called BMO "M'lady" in "Conquest of Cuteness."<ref>adventuretime.wikia.com/wiki/BMO</ref> This may have been facetious.
** BMO's make believe: BMO often plays make believe, and takes on male or female roles or characteristics in these fantasies. For example, in "Davey" (describing himself as "a little living boy," and simulating peeing standing up by pouring a cup of water into a toilet), and in "Five Short Graybles" (describing his mirrored persona as "a real baby girl"). In "BMO Noire," BMO role-plays as a masculine detective (appearing in one scene with facial stubble), but the episode title uses the feminine form of "noire," rather than masculine "noir."<ref>adventuretime.wikia.com/wiki/BMO</ref> The masculine form is standard in the phrase "film noir," the name of the detective movie genre parodied in that episode. In "James Baxter the Horse," BMO carries an egg around and sings, in part, "BMO, how'd you get so pregnant? Who's the mother? Oh, who's the father?"<ref>"BMO's Pregnant Song." ''Adventure Time Wikia.'' [http://adventuretime.wikia.com/wiki/BMO%27s_Pregnant_Song http://adventuretime.wikia.com/wiki/BMO%27s_Pregnant_Song]</ref> It's not clear if the egg scene is BMO playing make believe, or if the song describes an actual event. Stranger things have happened in the magical Land of Ooo, so it's not always clear what's real and serious or fantastic and facetious.
* "Soul Eater" includes the character Crona Gorgon, the child of the antagonist Medusa Gorgon, who is referred to by exclusively neutral language in the original Japanese manga. Other characters often question whether Crona is male or female due to an androgynous appearance, and none of these questions are ever answered.
* Attack on Titan character Hange Zoë's gender is never confirmed, and manga author Hajime Isayama has asked the English-language publisher to "avoid gendered pronouns when referring to Hange, or at least to use he AND she with equal frequency." <ref>'Attack on Titan' creator gets the last word in debate over character's gender [http://www.dailydot.com/fandom/attack-titan-snk-hange-hanji-gender-debate/]</ref>

===Audio===
* The audio drama series ''Bernice Summerfield'' (a [[Gender in Doctor Who|Doctor who]] spinoff) features a character named Chanticleer in the episode ''The Tub Full of Cats''. Bernice Summerfield and Margarita Matsumoto Braxiatel have a conversation about Chanticleer's gender, in which they both admit to not being able to tell what gender Chanticleer really is. Neither Benny nor Maggie want to ask Chanticleer about the matter, and at the end of the episode it's left uncertain. Chanticleer is referred to by he pronouns and is played by a female actor.

===Books and literature===

* Anne Leckie's science fiction novels ''Ancillary Justice'' (2013) and ''Ancillary Sword'' (2014) were set in a futuristic society that is indifferent to gender, so all the characters are called by [[Pronouns#She|gender-neutral "she" pronouns]], leaving their actual gender and sex undisclosed. Leckie says she had an assumption at the time that gender is binary, so these are likely not non-binary characters.<ref>Geek's Guide to the Galaxy, "Sci-fi's hottest new writer won't tell you the sex of her characters." October 11, 2014. ''Wired.'' [http://www.wired.com/2014/10/geeks-guide-ann-leckie/ http://www.wired.com/2014/10/geeks-guide-ann-leckie/]</ref>
* In the Choose Your Own Adventure series of interactive fiction books, the player's character is always written with no implications about their gender. The idea was that the main character of the book ''was'' the reader, who could be any gender, so the character was described as little as possible. The illustrators were sometimes able to make the player's character look androgynous, such as by showing them in shadows, or wearing costumes that hide their face. This was all intentional. However, in some of the books they simply drew the character as looking like a boy, even though the player's character was still written about in only a gender-neutral way.
* In K. A. Cook's short story "Misstery Man" in ''Crooked Words'', an androgynous-looking superhero by that name has never disclosed their gender, resulting in rude speculation in the local newspapers. This frustrates the unrelated nonbinary main character, Darcy, who thinks it would be easier to come out if only someone famous like that would come out or otherwise make the newspaper gossip stop.<ref>K. A. Cook, "Misstery Man." ''Crooked Words.'' Unpaged.</ref>
* In Alastair Reynolds's science fiction novel ''On the Steel Breeze,'' one character is called by gender-neutral [[Pronouns#Ve|"ve" pronouns]]. The novel never gives any exposition about this character's sex, gender, or pronouns, and ver gender-neutrality doesn't influence the plot. The lack of remark gives the impression that a nonbinary gender is unremarkable, but this is also why some readers thought the pronouns were a misprint.<ref>Outis, "Gender-neutral characters and pronouns." November 20, 2013. [https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1580481-gender-neutral-characters-and-pronouns https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1580481-gender-neutral-characters-and-pronouns]</ref> The lack of discussion about the character's gender also means that this is an example of undisclosed gender, rather than nonbinary representation.
* Atsuko Asano's No. 6 contains many androgynous characters, including Inukashi, who Shion, the main character, is unable to tell their gender due to their long hair and thin body. In the english translation, Inukashi is referred to by male pronouns.
* In Maïa Mazaurette's french novel "Rien ne nous survivra - Le pire est Avenir", one of the main characters called Silence is never called by either male or female pronouns. The whole book managed to avoid gender qualification for this character. (French is a very Binary langage, even furniture has a gender, so it's quite an accomplishment)
* In Rick Riordan's ''Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard'', Alex Fierro is a genderfluid character that first appears in the second book and uses both he/him and she/her pronouns.

===Comics and graphic novels===

*''[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0001.html Order of the Stick]'' by Rich Burlew - Webcomic parody of Dungeons & Dragons. One of the main characters is an androgynous-looking elven mage named Vaarsuvius. Their gender and sex are never explicitly revealed, and they are referred to using male and female pronouns by other characters, but the author has said that these are the views of other characters and may not reflect the reality. We later learn that Vaarsuvius is married and has two adopted children, refers to their partner with gender-neutral terms, and that the children (translated from Elvish) call the two adults 'Parent' and 'Other Parent'.
*''[http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/25898265-username Username: Evie]'' by Joe Sugg - Sci-fi graphic novel about a teenage girl's adventures in a virtual universe. One character, Unity, has an androgynous appearance and was coded "to represent every man and woman here". Other characters seem to be unable to gender them (e.g. "I've seen that guy before. Or is it a girl?").

===Movies===

* In "The Incredibles," Kronos' files briefly show a superhero named MACROBEAM who is described as "oddly androgynous," and they are referred to with both "he" and "she" pronouns, saying that their sex and gender are unknown. This is only on the screen for a few seconds, and you can only see it if you pause. The character doesn't appear in person, and has no dialog.

===TV===

* The recurring ''Saturday Night Live'' character and series of sketches ''Pat'' from the early 1990s. Pat is an androgynous character who everyone tries desperately (but ''politely'') to gender, but whose neutral preferences and gender expression defy classification. This is played for laughs as Pat is oblivious to everyone else's discomfort. It even spun off into a (badly received) 1994 movie, ''It's Pat'', in which Pat falls in love with another character whose gender is also unknown. The character is highly androgynous in appearance and personality, but Pat's assigned gender is unclear, which is the basis of the joke. See [[Wikipedia:Pat (Saturday Night Live)|Wikipedia's ''Pat'' article]]
* The children's TV series ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lloyd_in_Space Lloyd in Space]'' features an episode (''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Lloyd_in_Space_episodes#Season_3:_2002 "Neither Boy nor Girl"]'') that focuses on a genderless character named Zoit. After being initially confused about their gender, the characters learn that in Zoit's species, children are raised genderless until they reach their 13th birthday, at which point they choose whether to become a boy or a girl. The other children fight over which gender Zoit should pick on their upcoming birthday. At the end of the episode, Zoit proudly tells their friends that they have chosen their gender, but want to keep their choice to themselves - it is left open whether they decided to be male or female.
* The recent TV series Carmilla includes a non-binary character, Susan LaFontaine. They have stated that they no longer wish to be called Susan in season one when they say "I don't want to be Susan anymore." in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ae7FASf8TkM episode 26]. They use the name LaFontaine and they/them pronouns.
* In the Netflix series ''Degrassi: Next Class'', Yael Baron is a genderqueer character who uses they/them pronouns.
* In ''Billions'', Taylor Mason is a nonbinary character who uses they/them pronouns. Mason is widely considered to be the first nonbinary character in a TV show by US news sources. They are played by [[Asia Kate Dillon]], who is also nonbinary.<ref>''[http://news.sky.com/story/billions-shows-tvs-first-gender-non-binary-character-10775424 Billions shows TV's first gender non-binary character]'', Sky News, February 2017.</ref>
* Milo, from the ''Danger & Eggs'' animated series, is a minor nonbinary character played by the agender voice actor Tyler Ford.<ref>''[https://www.autostraddle.com/danger-and-eggs-is-the-greatest-weirdest-queer-and-trans-inclusive-kids-show-ever-382906/ “Danger & Eggs” Is The Greatest Weirdest Queer-and-Trans Inclusive Kids Show Ever]'', Autostraddle, July 2017.</ref>

* In ''Borderlands 2'', a large part of Zer0's story is the lack of information surrounding him. He uses he/him pronouns, but the information provided alludes to him either being agender or having a non-human/alien gender identity.
* ''Choice of the Dragon,'' by Choice of Games LLC, is an interactive fiction story in which the player's character is a dragon. When creating this character, the player has more than two options for its gender, or, possibly, its sex.

* In ''Dishonored 2'', a noble named Wyman is mentioned several times, being the lover of main character Emily Kaldwin, and is never referred to with any gendered words.

Foxy is referred to as a “he,” both by one of the voices of the HandUnit and the description of the Custom Night, and a “she” by the HandUnit’s other voice. Mangle is referred to as a “he” by the Phone Guy, but is still in the “Ladies Night” preset.

==Fictional sexes==

Some characters have a nonbinary gender identity only because they have a fictional kind of a physical sex. Their sex is different than female, male, or any kind of real-life intersex condition. For example, a robot that never had a physical sex, and might be correspondingly genderless. Or characters who have the fictional ability to change their sex at will, and might be said to have a corresponding [[genderfluid]] identity. Or an alien species that reproduces by different means than humans, resulting in an alien culture with different gender roles. The fictional sexes are used as ''justification'' for these characters having nonbinary gender identities. No real nonbinary people have these sexes, and can't use that justification. As such, these kinds of characters don't really count as nonbinary representation.

===Audio===
* In the ''[[Gender in Doctor Who|Doctor Who]]'' audio dramas by Big Finish, the character of Zagreus is an alien entity who inhabits various minds and bodies. Zagreus is played by one male actor and one female actress, and changes pronouns depending on each stolen body.

The neuters can't reproduce, but since they're the least vulnerable to succumbing to "mind death" (a kind of stroke that afflicts any member of their species if they exert themselves too hard), their place in society is to do work that requires a hardy body and a good memory. Several main characters don't like the sexes they ended up with, and could be seen as transgender. The main character in the short story "Freedom, Spiced and Drunk" wishes to be neuter; details aren't possible without spoiling the story.
*''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Left_Hand_of_Darkness The Left Hand of Darkness]'' by Ursula K. Le Guin is a classic science fiction novel published in 1976 featuring a race of people whose sexes become male or female only briefly for reproduction, and whose genders can be a variety of masculine, feminine, both or neither.

* Bard Bloom's World Tree is a setting with no human species, and many of the intelligent species in that setting have fictional sexes, such as co-lover, both-female, and so on. This includes the protagonist of a book in that setting, ''[http://www.amazon.com/Sythyrys-Journal-Chronicle-Transaffection-Adventure/dp/1451562934 Sythyry's Journal]'', which was first serialized as a blog starting in 2002. Sythyry is a member of a dragon-like species who are all "hermaphrodites" (and not analogous to real-life intersex conditions), and don't identify as female or male. In World Tree society, species is more important than gender, so same-gender relationships are seen as unremarkable, but cross-species relationships are seen as queer, which is a significant plot element in that book. The setting also has a role-playing game handbook, ''World Tree: A role playing game of species and civilization'' (2001). A romance novel in the setting, ''[http://www.amazon.com/MARRIAGE-OF-INSECTS-novel-World/dp/1890096369 A Marriage of Insects],'' deals with the relationships of a group of Herethroy, an insect-like species that has three (arguably four) sexes: male, female, co-lover (a sex necessary for males and females of that species to reproduce), and both-female (a socially unaccepted variant sex, indeterminate between female and co-lover).
* In ''Static'', a romance novel by L. A. Witt, there have always been a marginalized minority of humans capable of changing sex instantly and at will, known as "shifters." Shifters are usually, though not always, genderfluid, having different gender identities at different times, including male, female, and other genders. (Though they only have the ability to change between two sexes.) Alex, one of the protagonists and part of the lead romantic pair, is a genderfluid shifter who is the victim of medical assault to force them to remain in one form, but continues to be genderfluid and experience dysphoria.
* In the book ''Good Omens'' by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, the character Aziraphale (and A. J. Crowley by extension) are described as man-shaped, sexless beings.
* In the Faction Paradox novel ''This Town Will Never Let Us Go...'' by Philip Purser-Hallard (a [[Gender in Doctor Who|Doctor Who]] spinoff), there is a species of posthumans who are engineered to change sex from male to female as they mature. Some of these transformations are never completed. One of the main characters, Keth Marrane, is part of this species and has a body with both male and female characteristics. Marrane is fully happy with this body and is referred to as a "hermaphrodite" by other characters; a word without negative connotations in the cultures that are described. Marrane uses "one" pronouns when narrating.
* Adam Rex's sci-fi novel, ''The True Meaning of Smekday'' (2007), features the Boov, an alien people with seven genders (boy, girl, girlboy, boygirl, boyboy, boyboygirl, and boyboyboyboy) based on their fish-like role in fertilizing an egg after they lay it in a designated part of town. Because of the impersonal way they reproduce, Boov society is egalitarian and aromantic. The sequel, ''Smek for President'' (2015), has a girlboy character named Ponch Sandhandler. She-he is addressed as "ladyfellow," and by she-he pronouns. The movie loosely based on the books, ''Home'' (2015), doesn't directly mention anything about Boov gender, and only refers to any Boov by he pronouns.

===Comics and graphic novels===

* In ''Cardcaptor Sakura'', a manga series by CLAMP, beings who were created by magic are canonically said to be neither female nor male. They're sexless, but may prefer a gender expression that is female, male, or androgynous. This includes some main characters, but it would be spoilers to say who and how. This is also the case in the anime based on the manga, of the same name.
*''[[Wikipedia:The Sandman (Vertigo)|The Sandman]]'' by Neil Gaiman and various artists - seminal graphic novel series, as recommended in [[Nonbinary_celebrities#Kate_Bornstein|Kate Bornstein]]'s ''My New Gender Workbook'' as having "Lots of good gender play." One character, Desire, is a being who can have any sex or gender.
* In ''[http://tapastic.com/series/The-Satrians The Satrians],'' a comic by Carlisle Robinson, a satyr-like alien species called Satrians have only one sex, and [http://tapastic.com/episode/221562 no concept of gender]. They're all called by the pronoun set [[Pronouns#Xe|xe]], xyr, xem.<ref>Carlisle Robinson. "FAQ about gender." ''The Satrians''. [http://tapastic.com/episode/221562 http://tapastic.com/episode/221562]</ref>
* In ''[http://spectracomic.smackjeeves.com Spectra]'', a science fiction comic by Cori Walters, the main characters are members of an alien species that has one sex, and all people voluntarily choose which of several gender roles they identify with. Outside of the story, Walters said, "They only have one physical sex but they have three socially enforced genders (or four if you count young children, who are seen as genderless until they choose their role in society.) For simplification reasons, in the comic the three main ones are referred to as he, she, and ne. The 'male' role is that of destruction, the 'female' is that of creation, and the third gender is that of preservation." The comic started in 2013 and is still in progress.<ref>''Spectra.'' [http://spectracomic.smackjeeves.com http://spectracomic.smackjeeves.com/]</ref>

===TV===

* In the ''Star Trek: The Next Generation'' episode "[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Outcast_%28Star_Trek:_The_Next_Generation%29 The Outcast]" the Enterprise encounters an alien race called the "androgynous J'naii", whose society long ago had female and male roles, but their society had become sexless and genderless, which they believe to be more advanced. They have no physical sex differences, and reproduce without copulation. They all dress alike, and ask to be called by [[Pronouns#It|it]] pronouns. The J'naii believe that it's unhealthy to be female or male, and the genderlessness of their society is enforced on all its members. In that episode, a J'naii named Soren is revealed to be secretly a [[transgender women|transgender woman]]. In a reference to real-life "[[conversion therapy]]" used coercively on transgender people to make them not be transgender, the J'naii use brainwashing to force Soren to identify as androgynous rather than female. The episode fails at exploring the possibilities of a genderless society or identity, which is depicted as bland and repressive, but is a decent critique of conversion therapy, as well as a defense of transgender rights.
* The series Earth: Final Conflict is primarily about interactions between modern-day humans and aliens called Taelons, who seem to have neither sex nor gender. The Taelons use [[Pronouns#He|he pronouns]] for human convenience, but do not identify as male.
* Time Lords in ''[[Gender in Doctor Who|Doctor Who]]'' are able to transform their bodies in order to prevent death, giving them a new personality each time they undergo this process. See [[Gender in Doctor Who]] for more information.
* "Simoun" takes place in a world that recognizes three genders: male, female, and a feminine "maiden" gender which everyone is assigned at birth. When people in this world come of age, they're required to give up the "maiden" gender and commit to male or female--those who do not choose have it chosen for them. Several of the main characters, including the two leads, decide that they do not want to be men or women, but rather keep their "maiden" gender, which goes against the rules of society. Despite the maiden gender being feminine, the fact that choosing to keep it is regarded as significantly different from choosing to become a woman shows that it is a third gender role and not the same as womanhood.
* ''Steven Universe'' is about an alien kind called Gems, who all look similar to human women, except for the half-human Gem named Steven. The show creator, Rebecca Sugar, says the Gems aren't female: "Steven is the first and only male Gem, because he is half human! Technically, there are no female Gems! There are only Gems!"<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/2e4gmx/i_am_rebecca_sugar_creator_of_steven_universe_and/cjw8e1p</ref> The Gems are called by [[Pronouns#She|she]] pronouns just because it's easy: Sugar said, "There's a 50 50 chance to use some pronoun on Earth, so why not feminine ones-- it's as convenient as it is arbitrary!"<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/2e4gmx/i_am_rebecca_sugar_creator_of_steven_universe_and/cjw8ztw/</ref> In a later interview, Rebecca stated outright that "the Gems are all nonbinary women. [...] They wouldn’t think of themselves as women, but they’re fine with being interpreted that way amongst humans." (She also identified herself as a nonbinary woman in this same interview.)<ref>[https://the1a.org/audio/#/shows/2018-07-09/the-mind-behind-americas-most-empathetic-cartoon/114886/ The Mind Behind America's Most Empathetic Cartoon], July 09 2018</ref> Furthermore, Gems can temporarily fuse together to become a combined being. In episode "Alone Together", the aforementioned Steven manages to pull off this skill with human girl Connie, resulting in a fusion named "Stevonnie." When asked about Stevonnie's gender, Rebecca Sugar replied that "Stevonnie is an experience! The living relationship between Steven and Connie," describing them as a "metaphor that is so complex and so specific but also really, really relatable, in the form of a character."<ref>http://io9.com/steven-universe-guidebook-spills-the-secrets-of-the-cry-1704470546</ref> In that episode, the characters don't use any pronouns for Stevonnie ([[Pronouns#No pronouns|no pronouns]]), but [http://steven-universe.wikia.com/wiki/Matt_Burnett Matt Burnett] confirmed on Twitter that Stevonnie uses they/them pronouns.<ref>https://twitter.com/mcburnett/status/620637717731217408</ref>.
* Izana Shinatose in Knights of Sidonia is neither female nor male, but has the ability to eventually choose a sex if they fall in love. Izana's uniform is different from that of her classmates, reflecting her lack of gender (while females have skirts and males wear pants, Izana wears shorts). This gender is given the name of "middlesex" in the second season. Izana's body does eventually become female after falling in love with Nagate, against her conscious wishes and to her dismay.

==Gender nonconformity in fiction==

This section is for characters who are [[gender nonconforming]] but have a [[binary gender]] identity. That is, they identify as female, or as male, and are therefore not nonbinary. In significant ways, the characters don't conform to the expectations and norms for their gender. Fans may describe these characters as [[genderqueer]], which may be accurate. A character who is gender nonconforming and/or genderqueer isn't necessarily nonbinary, since they may still have a strictly binary gender identity, and they may also be [[cisgender]]. For example, a character who says something like, "I'm all man, and wearing a pink dress doesn't make me any less of a man" is gender nonconforming and perhaps genderqueer, but definitely not nonbinary.

===Animation===

* In the comedy series ''SheZow'', the legacy of a super-heroine has been passed down through generations of grand-aunts to grand-nieces when they inherit a magic ring that grants feminine-themed powers. For the first time, the ring is inherited by a boy, Guy Hamdon. Whenever he's being SheZow, which entails wearing a pink costume with a skirt and long hair, he has to keep up the appearance of being a girl in order to protect his secret identity. If anyone finds out who SheZow really is, his whole family will have to be relocated to the moon. Aside from his hair, SheZow's body doesn't change, and he has to remember to speak in a higher voice. Shezow often insists that his friends who are in the know need to call him by "she" pronouns whenever he appears in public as SheZow, and grumbles whenever they mess it up. When a friend hesitates and asks in private which pronoun Guy prefers, Guy shrugs and replies, "Eh, it depends on what I'm wearing." In other words, Guy's pronoun preference while being SheZow is "she," and is "he" while in his secret identity. Guy overcomes his initial discomfort and finds empowerment and confidence in femininity, even while remaining happily masculine when presenting as a boy. While this comfortable alternation between male and female presentations could be seen as a [[genderfluid]] or [[bigender]] character, the show creator has stated in an interview that, to the best of his understanding, this isn't so: "SheZow is not transgendered. He's a boy, his gender never changes, he's just trapped in a silly costume."<ref>Reiher, Andrea (1 June 2013). "'SheZow' creator talks 'transsexual' criticism, a 'coming out' episode and more". Zap2It. Retrieved 11 February 2014.</ref> As such, Shezow/Guy is a gender nonconforming cisgender boy.
** There are other gender noncomforming characters in Shezow than the title character. Shezow's evil clone, Shezap, can look like Guy or like Shezow. When they open a portal to a gender-swapped alternative universe, Shezow discovers that the version of herself there is Dudepow, a hero with masculine-themed powers who is secretly a girl.

=== Books and Literature ===

* ''The Gods Themselves'' by Isaac Asimov - The 2nd part of this book features an alien species that reproduces by different means than humans, resulting in an alien culture with different gender roles. However, the 3 fictional sexes are ''not'' used as justification for these characters having nonbinary gender identities, as the protagonists are depicted as being gender non-conforming by the standards of their own society. Most notable is Dua, the "emotional"/"mid" member of a triad, who has always struggled to fit in with the others of her sex. She's explicitly non-conforming, exhibiting traits normally associated with the "rational"/"left" sex of her species. As a result, her peers use the slur "left-em" against her, which she would eventually reclaim as her own identity, along with "queer". Would she also qualify as nonbinary (technically non-trinary) transgender? This is open to interpretation by the reader.

'''Neurogender''' is an umbrella term to describe when someone's gender is somehow linked to their neurotype, mental illness, or neurological conditions. There are many different neurogenders related to most, if not all, neurodivergencies. Not everyone who is neurodivergent has a neurogender, but each neurogender is exclusive to certain neurotypes. Oftentimes there are similar terms available to neurotypicals who have similar experiences and don't wish to appropriate.

[[File:virgender.png|thumb|Virgender [[Flags|flag]] created by pridearchive.<ref>http://pridearchive.tumblr.com/post/91781500576/virgender-pride</ref> The meaning of the flag colors are: '''Red:''' To symbolise the stress/difficulty in having a gender, '''White:''' An amalgamation of all genders '''Black:''' Genderlessness. The red stripes lighten as one goes down the flag to symbolise how one’s stress is causing their gender to get weaker and weaker until it goes to white and the individual is relieved of the stress of keeping up with one’s gender. The white transitions to grey and then to black to symbolise the complete lack of gender.]]
[[File:virgender-2.png|thumb|Alternate ]]
'''Virgender''' (coined by stevenuniversequartz<ref>http://pridearchive.tumblr.com/post/91781500576/virgender-pride</ref>) is defined as a gender identity that is practically and particularly genderless. This usually happens when it is too stressful or difficult to have a gender. A gender identity that feels weakened by stress, to the point where one is nearly genderless.

'''Xumgender''' (coined by ademcshades<ref>http://pride-flags-for-us.tumblr.com/post/125365766679/is-there-a-xumgender-flag</ref>) is defined as never being satisfied with your gender due to constant self-doubt or identity issues, causing one to compulsively search and seek out something that fits as perfect as possible–to find “the gender” or “the one truth”–though one will never be found due to one’s neurotype, because words will never be able to describe it, and/or its own properties paradox itself. This frequent anxiety and doubt even causes this gender to feel imperfect to the individual.

'''Keywords:''' Anxiety, OCD, OCPD

Yea more help would be great! I was just following pages through to begin with. A visual editor would be great! Might be easier if we find a better form of communication, especially if there's going to be a group of us. Discord or Skype maybe?

==Glossary of Russian gender and sex terminology==

Glad to know you liked my edit of the Russian glossary, because I myself had second thoughts afterwards, when I looked through the other glossaries with non-Latin scripts. Should we rearrange all of them? I could definitely do it for Chinese for example, listing the entries by the radicals and stroke numbers of the first character(s), in the way they would be in a Chinese dictionary. But does that make a lot of sense in a wiki that is basically in English? [[User:Wolle|Wolle]] ([[User talk:Wolle|talk]]) 18:10, 30 April 2018 (UTC)
:{{ping|Wolle}} in the case of Rusian, maybe the headings could be ''<Cyrillic character> - <Latin transcription>''. I don't think this is possible with Chinese though, since it doesn't use an alphabet. Since we also give the transcription, I think it would be good to offer ordering based on both the original Chinese writing and the Latin transcription. By the way, do you know if the glossary uses Mandarin or Cantonese? --[[User:NeoMahler|NeoMahler]] ([[User talk:NeoMahler|talk]]) 19:28, 30 April 2018 (UTC)
::Have a look at the Russian page. Do you think this is good now? For Chinese, my knowledge of Mandarin is pretty basic and that of Cantonese non-existant, but the Pinyin transcriptions given clearly look Mandarin, "他" is Mandarin, but not Cantonese. So, I can't guarantee that there is no Cantonese mixed in at all, but it all looks very Mandarin to me. BTW, there is an inconsistency: Sometimes the simplified spelling (Mainland China, Singapore) is given first ("酷儿; 酷兒"), sometimes it's the traditional one (Taiwan, Hong Kong, China towns all over the world) ("雙靈; 双灵"). Of course, this can be a neat way not to take sides... [[User:Wolle|Wolle]] ([[User talk:Wolle|talk]]) 22:35, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
:::{{ping|Wolle}} the Russian page is good, thanks! I think we should be consistent, placing the traditional spelling before the simplified one (or viceversa) doesn't seem disrespectful to me. Thanks for pointing that out too! Maybe it could be formatted as a table: it not only helps to separate traditional from simplified spelling, but it also automatically sorts in alphabetical order taking Latin as a reference (but only if the user clicks the small arrow next to the column title). I don't know how the automatic sorting works for Chinese characters, though. Do you think this would be better? --[[User:NeoMahler|NeoMahler]] ([[User talk:NeoMahler|talk]]) 14:26, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
::::I've rearranged the Chinese list in the following order: "Simplified Chinese; Traditional Chinese (Pinyin transcription) English" (even for the cases where there is no difference between simplified and traditional). I don't know how to format a table with automatic sorting, but if you do, you will be able to do it with this uniform sequence. Once there is a table, we can test how it sorts the Chinese entries. [[User:Wolle|Wolle]] ([[User talk:Wolle|talk]]) 22:16, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
:::::{{ping|Wolle}} done, to sort based on a column just click the small black arrows next to the corresponding column title. There's some sort of sorting going on in the Chinese columns, but I don't know what it is based on. --[[User:NeoMahler|NeoMahler]] ([[User talk:NeoMahler|talk]]) 08:20, 3 May 2018 (UTC)
::::::I haven't checked it line by line, but it looks like the kind of sequencing you would find in a dictionary (by radical first, then by additional stroke number). So, I think it's fine. [[User:Wolle|Wolle]] ([[User talk:Wolle|talk]]) 19:59, 3 May 2018 (UTC)
{{ping|Wolle}} cool! Thanks for the suggestions :) There are still other glossaries for languages that don't use the Latin alphabet. I'll try to format them using the same type of table. See you around! --[[User:NeoMahler|NeoMahler]] ([[User talk:NeoMahler|talk]]) 21:07, 3 May 2018 (UTC)

== Bordergender ==

You said the flag had a license that allows anyone to upload it. Tell me how it got that license. I did not upload it to the old wiki or to deviantart. I designed the flag and it is not free to use. Take it down. Design another one if you want, I don't care. Redefine the term without using my wording and do not use my flag design. This is very simple. Respect that you are using my content without my permission and I wish it to be taken down.
:{{ping|Izayaorihahaha}} We imported the flag (and most of the other pride flags too) from the "Pride Flags" DeviantArt account. As you can see [https://www.deviantart.com/pride-flags/art/Bordergender-1-554424614 in the Bordergender (1) page], they say ''All designs in this gallery are HQ and are free to use for anything pride-related!'' Their [https://pride-color-schemes.tumblr.com/faq FAQ] states ''Q2: Can I use _____ flag? A2: Absolutely! All of our flags are free for everyone to use. Nobody owns them (sometimes we didn’t even create them), and credit is appreciated but not necessary.'' They don't specify a license, but this description makes it compatible with [https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ CC-BY-SA 4.0], which is the one we use here. Additionally, the description of the identity can be re-used under the terms of fair use, since we are an educational resource.

:However, I have re-written the description text (even though we are not required to). As for the flags, I'm afraid I can't take it down. I don't know how your flags ended up being free-to-use, but they are. If we ever find another flag design for this identity, we can replace it, but until then, the flag stays. --[[User:Ondo|Ondo]] ([[User talk:Ondo|talk]]) 09:40, 27 June 2019 (UTC)

::{{ping|Ondo}} "I don't know how your flags ended up being free-to-use" Theft. Theft is how. I never gave anyone the right to repost my design. How hard is it for you or someone involved with this wiki to design a flag in windows paint?

::You either condone art theft and misattribution, or you take the flag down until a new one is designed, it's very simple.

::"It's legal to use" for whatever reason does not make it right. Please respect my wishes and just take it down. All you're doing here is showing me how little you care about lgbt artists/designers. I don't care to explain my reasoning, and I shouldn't have to. I appreciate you rewriting the description and am taking your word that you did on good faith because I'd rather not read it. Please just take the flag down and give me that peace of mind.

:::{{ping|Izayaorihahaha}} we don't condone art theft, that's why we have a clear license and a [[Nonbinary Wiki:Content Policy|content policy]]. If you consider that your original art was stolen, that's fine and I sympathise with you. The course of action, however, should be contacting with the DeviantArt user that actually uploaded your content and gave free-to-use permission to everyone. When they take it down, we will do the same in accordance to our license. Taking it down here but keeping it in DeviantArt would accomplish nothing, since anyone could re-upload it again (here or anywhere else on the Internet) without restrictions. --[[User:Ondo|Ondo]] ([[User talk:Ondo|talk]]) 10:07, 27 June 2019 (UTC)

::: {{ping|Izayaorihahaha}} As a heads up, I have removed your flag "bordergender1" from my collection of pride flags which is what the flags on the wiki are taken from. This doesn't change what is on the wiki of course, but it means I won't reuse it in further projects. I do very much disagree with your rationale about the identity, but the flag is your own. And as indicated above, my views don't reflect those of this wiki, but as someone who is active here I did want to do what I can. [[User:Falkirks|Falkirks]] ([[User_talk:Falkirks|talk]]) 15:52, 27 June 2019 (UTC)

== Spambots ==

Looks like this wiki is overrun with bots, and too few admins to combat them. I know this is an unsolicited offer, but I hate capchas and I have experience in technical support for wikis, so can this be a win-win? I have OCD and captchas tick off my OCD, and I know a thing or two or three about combating vandals and spambots.--[[User:Oxyaena|Oxyaena]] ([[User talk:Oxyaena|talk]]) 12:45, 27 June 2019 (UTC)
:Edit filters can help with the spambots and even vandals, but I've noticed this wiki lacks even a basic, proper references template, so that's definitely one of the things on my priority list. [[User:Oxyaena|Oxyaena]] ([[User talk:Oxyaena|talk]]) 12:57, 27 June 2019 (UTC)
::{{ping|Oxyaena}} thanks for the offer. We do get multiple spambots creating accounts every day, but their edits never make it past the abuse filter. I could count with the fingers of a single hand the times a spambot has managed to actually create spam pages (and we've always been quick to answer, thanks to the real-time #wikifeed channel in the Discord server). Edits that get through the filters are generally anonymous human vandals, but they don't come very often, so they don't present a problem currently. Thank you for your interest again, and welcome to the wiki! :) --[[User:Ondo|Ondo]] ([[User talk:Ondo|talk]]) 13:46, 27 June 2019 (UTC)

[[File:Nonbinary-recognition-map.svg|thumb|600px|right|Map of recognition of nonbinary gender. (Graphic may not be as up to date as the rest of this article.)

'''Recognition of [[Nonbinary gender|non-binary gender identities]]''' in law and other paperwork is an important issue confronting modern society. This also deals with policies about [[transgender]] people in general and related policies about [[intersex]] people. Recognition here means whether an organization acknowledges that such people exist and have valid identities, and the organization does this by routinely giving them a place where they aren't forced into being wrongly categorized as a [[gender]] that doesn't match their [[gender identity]]. In the case of recognition of nonbinary people, this means the system doesn't force them to wrongly say they are one of the [[binary genders]] ([[female]] or [[male]]). Through networking and [[activism]], people can find out which organisations acknowledge non-binary genders, and can ask for acknowledgement from organisations that still need to do so.

For international recognition on the Internet, see [[websites and social networks]].

== Recognition worldwide ==

One international problem is that all passports and other identity documents list gender (they are usually called "[[sex]]"),<ref>Lauren Bishop. "Gender and Sex Designations for Identification Purposes: A Discussion on Inclusive Documentation for a Less Assimilationist Society." 30 Wis. J.L. Gender & Soc'y 131, 134-35. Fall 2015 (containing a broad comparative discussion of this problem in academic legal scholarship). available at http://hosted.law.wisc.edu/wordpress/wjlgs/fall-2015-volume-xxx-no-2/</ref> and most countries require that gender to be either female or male.<ref>"X gender markers on passports." http://lgbt.libdems.org.uk/en/page/x-gender-markers-on-passports</ref> A few countries allow passports to have a nonbinary gender marker, called X (unspecified or [[X-gender]]), T ([[transgender]] or [[third gender]]), E ([[eunuch]]), I ([[intersex]]) or O ([[other]]), depending on the country. Having a nonbinary marker on one's passport can make it impossible to [[travel]] to a country whose passports don't give that option.<ref>Aron Macarow. "These Seven Countries are Way Ahead of the US on Trans Issues." February 9, 2015. Attn. http://www.attn.com/stories/868/transgender-passport-status</ref>

Another global problem for transgender rights is that many countries require too much of a transgender person in order to allow them to have a legal transition. Many countries require proof of [[surgery]] in order to do this. Many countries even require transgender people to go through bottom surgeries that would effectively [[Sterilization|sterilize]] them in order to [[transition]]. International law calls compulsory sterilization a crime against humanity,<ref>As quoted by Guy Horton in Dying Alive - A Legal Assessment of Human Rights Violations in Burma April 2005, co-Funded by The Netherlands Ministry for Development Co-Operation. See section "12.52 Crimes against humanity", Page 201. He references RSICC/C, Vol. 1 p. 360</ref><ref>Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court http://legal.un.org/icc/statute/romefra.htm</ref> but it is still the law in many countries.

In the table below, countries are listed in alphabetical order. To make them easier to skim, they use a colour code based on traffic lights:

* Blue (#9FF) means it's friendly to nonbinary people. This can mean it allows unspecified gender options.
* Yellow (#FFB) means it's somewhat friendly to nonbinary people. This can mean it plans to become friendly to nonbinary people. Or it can mean the country is divided on giving nonbinary people their rights, but leaning toward acceptance.
* Red (#F99) means it's not friendly at all to nonbinary people.
* White or blank background means we don't have information about this yet, or it's difficult to call whether it's more good or bad for nonbinary people.

Falkirks: /* Recognition in federal government */

[[File:joshua-ferguson-birth-certificate.jpg|thumb|[[Joshua Ferguson]] holding their birth certificate with "X" in the sex field.]]
[[Recognition (Canada)]]. This is a multi page section that gives information on [[recognition]] of [[nonbinary]] gender identities in Canadian services and government. In Canada, passports and immigration documents are issued federally by the Canadian government while driver's licenses, health cards, and birth certificates are issued by the appropriate provincial government.

== Recognition in federal government ==
In 2017, the Canadian government passed bill C-16, which added "gender identity" and "gender expression" as prohibited grounds for discrimination <ref>http://www.parl.ca/LegisInfo/BillDetails.aspx?billId=8269852&Language=E&Mode=1</ref>. Following C-16 the government put interim measures in place before they could issue documents without "M" or "F" <ref name="ircc">https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/news/2017/08/new_x_gender_designationcomingtoirccdocuments.html</ref>. As of June 2019, the Canadian government has begun issuing immigration documents (including passports) with "X" in the sex field <ref>https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/news/notices/gender-x-documents.html</ref>.

== Recognition in provincial governments ==
The recognition of nonbinary people by provincial governments varies across Canada. All provinces and territories have removed requirements for surgery, but many still do rely on a [[medicalization|medical model]] of transness. At this point only Alberta and Ontario have moved away from the medical model for all applicants, removing the requirement for a letter from a medical practitioner. That being said some provinces have removed have also removed this requirement, but only for those over a certain age.

Every province and territory has added explicit protections for "gender identity" in their human rights legislation. The majority of provinces protect "gender expression" as well.

* Blue(#9FF) means it's friendly to nonbinary people.
* Yellow(#FFB) means it's somewhat friendly to nonbinary people.
* Red(#F99) means it's not friendly at all to nonbinary people.

Nonbinary Wiki talk:Style guide

2019-05-05T09:13:12Z

Falkirks:

===Acronym===
I think we need to standardize acronym use in the wiki. I propose LGBTQIA+, as it is recognizable by most people, yet is most inclusive. [[User:MorningSparrow|MorningSparrow]] ([[User talk:MorningSparrow|talk]]) 18:25, 14 April 2019 (UTC)

: I '''slightly disagree''' with standardization, because a choice of acronym can be situational. But I do think we need to work toward something more standard while allowing for flexibility. If we had to pick a default I would go with "LGBTQ+" as it is widely used and doesn't have the toxic discourse around whether A stands for ally or ace/aro. But sometimes a longer acronym is better and more inclusive, so I definitely see that side. Maybe a helpful first step would be to run a search of the wiki as it stands and figure out which acronyms are used most frequently? Then we have something to work from. [[User:Falkirks|Falkirks]] ([[User_talk:Falkirks|talk]]) 22:04, 14 April 2019 (UTC)

::I agree with Falkirk's slight disagree. I think LGBT+ (with all its possible variations) should be the default for the wiki. But of course, it's also situational. For example, in an article about someone who considers that they are included under MOGII umbrella (instad of using LGBT+), then we should keep MOGII on that article.
::{{ping|Falkirks}} I assume making this search with a bot should be easy. Could you take care of it? Include any variation of the LGBT+ acronym. Thanks! --[[User:Ondo|Ondo]] ([[User talk:Ondo|talk]]) 14:21, 15 April 2019 (UTC)
::: Yup! I can get that done either today or tomorrow. [[User:Falkirks|Falkirks]] ([[User_talk:Falkirks|talk]]) 14:44, 15 April 2019 (UTC)
:::: I excluded internal links (to LGBT) from the results and this is what I got:
* LGB (3)
* LGBT (153)
* LGBTT (11)
* LGBTI (2)
* LGBT+ (13)
* LGBTQ (26)
* LGBTIQ (3)
* LGBTQ+ (7)
* LGBTQI (12)
* LGBTQIA+ (1)
:::: These are rough numbers, and a lot of the variety comes from articles which are glossaries or speciifcally talk about the variety of terms. But it does seem that we have a strong bias for "LGBT" right now. [[User:Falkirks|Falkirks]] ([[User_talk:Falkirks|talk]]) 17:53, 16 April 2019 (UTC)
::::: {{ping|MorningSparrow|Falkirks}} great, thanks! We could add "LGBT" as the preferred neutral form to talk about the community, then. What do you think? Ping {{ping|Sekhet}} too. --[[User:Ondo|Ondo]] ([[User talk:Ondo|talk]]) 18:37, 20 April 2019 (UTC)

== Non-binary or nonbinary? ==

We should agree on what's the correct form. [https://www.reddit.com/r/NonBinary/ Reddit] (and I think that [[User:Cassolotl|Cassolotl]] too ([[Talk:Non-binary|here]])) spell it ''nonbinary'', while [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genderqueer Wikipedia] spells it ''non-binary'' (which is the form we use here, for the moment). If anybody thinks that ''nonbinary'' is better, just let us know and we will decide what form do we use. --[[User:NeoMahler|NeoMahler]] ([[User talk:NeoMahler|talk]]) 15:50, 11 March 2017 (UTC)

: I think that ''nonbinary'' is better because it's easier to type, it reads more smoothly, and it matches the URL of the wiki. However, I have no particularly strong opinion on the matter. [[User:Odious odes|odious_odes]] ([[User talk:Odious odes|yodel]]) 22:42, 7 April 2017 (UTC)

:: I think "nonbinary" is better. It's being more and more commonly used, and a twitter poll by Neutrois Nonsense (http://neutrois.me) had more people voting for "nonbinary" than "non-binary". --[[User:Kaiforest|Kaiforest]] ([[User talk:Kaiforest|talk]]) 11:57, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

:::{{ping|Kaiforest}} thanks for your opinion! I will rename the wiki to Nonbinary wiki together with the project namespace. Than I will proceed to change all words that appear on articles (you can start doing this last thing, if you want). --[[User:NeoMahler|NeoMahler]] ([[User talk:NeoMahler|talk]]) 12:39, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

I have changed the wiki name to Nonbinary, updated the logo (the changes to the logo take some time to take effect, it seems) and also updated the rest of ''non-binary'' occurrences to ''nonbinary''. --[[User:NeoMahler|NeoMahler]] ([[User talk:NeoMahler|talk]]) 18:45, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

== Rename the wiki to Non-binary wiki ==

Basically, the problem now is that the project namespace has the capital letter: ''Non-'''B'''inary:General discussion''. I propose to change it to ''Non-binary wiki'' (also, it would follow better the [[Nonbinary:Style guide|style guide]]. If nobody disagrees I will fill a request to Phabricator soon. (Ping [[User:Cassolotl|Cassolotl]] because active). --[[User:NeoMahler|NeoMahler]] ([[User talk:NeoMahler|talk]]) 16:20, 21 March 2017 (UTC)

:I am totally down with that. :) --'''[[User:Cassolotl|Cassolotl]]''' ''([[User_Talk:Cassolotl|talk]]) pronouns: they/them'' 21:50, 22 March 2017 (UTC)

{{tumblr links}}

== Are social networks good for references? ==

There are pages, like [[multigender]], were almost all references are links to tumblr, which is a blog service/social network. I propose to remove these references and the corresponding content if we can't find any other references. Any thoughts? --[[User:NeoMahler|NeoMahler]] ([[User talk:NeoMahler|talk]]) 11:12, 7 April 2017 (UTC)
:Since there's no participation in this thread, I will remove all references to tumblr and other social networks. --[[User:NeoMahler|NeoMahler]] ([[User talk:NeoMahler|talk]]) 09:28, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
I have removed all references and added an [[Special:AbuseFilter/1|filter]] to warn users that add links to tumblr. --[[User:NeoMahler|NeoMahler]] ([[User talk:NeoMahler|talk]]) 11:05, 15 April 2017 (UTC)
:Obviously content referencing ''only'' tumblr or social networks isn't ideal, but at the moment the vast majority of information about nonbinary identities can be found in personal conversations (unciteable), on social networks, and in articles where a reporter is interviewing a single nonbinary person, which doesn't seem any more of a reliable source than social networks. It's still totally dependent on that one person talking getting their info right. If we don't allow citing social networks, that's leaving out a lot of primary source material, most particularly for terms that were coined on tumblr. Leaving them out just makes this resource less complete; I think a better solution would be a warning at the top of the article saying it cites a social network. --[[User:Kaiforest|Kaiforest]] ([[User talk:Kaiforest|talk]]) 12:10, 18 May 2017 (UTC)
::{{ping|Kaiforest}} that's a good argument. The problem with social networks is that while they are a good source for us because all these words to describe gender identities are relatively new, they can also be "abused". If we agree on allowing tumblr links, we should try to establish some sort of criteria to be sure that the tumblr blog used is notable in some way. I have no idea on how to do this, though... what do you think about making the abusefilter just to encourage the user to look for other sources and add the warning you say on top of the article? (The abusefilter currently warns the user saying that tumblr is not allowed, tags the edit as "tumblr link" but doesn't prevent the user of performing the action). --[[User:NeoMahler|NeoMahler]] ([[User talk:NeoMahler|talk]]) 12:45, 18 May 2017 (UTC)
:::{{ping|NeoMahler}} I think the warning at the top is the best way of marking information from tumblr as less reliable to readers, and people can generally figure out for themselves whether that blog is trustworthy. Figuring out criteria sounds difficult to me, especially since sometimes people coin a word they want to use and otherwise don't post a lot of gender stuff. I think the continuation of the abusefilter while still allowing users to take the action is a good idea, but maybe instead of saying tumblr is not allowed, saying tumblr is only allowed if no other sources are available. --[[User:Kaiforest|Kaiforest]] ([[User talk:Kaiforest|talk]]) 15:09, 18 May 2017 (UTC)
::::{{ping|Kaiforest}} I have updated the Abuse Filter warning, you can see it in [[MediaWiki:Abusefilter-warning-tumblr]]. I have also created [[Template:Tumblr links]] and added it to [[Gender neutral titles]] and [[Ambonec]] (I have just restored this page, which was deleted because of that). Feel free to make any suggestion. --[[User:NeoMahler|NeoMahler]] ([[User talk:NeoMahler|talk]]) 17:22, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

This is kinda late, I know, but on the old nonbinary.org wiki there was a rule that in order to be on a mainspace page a gender or pronoun or whatever had to have evidence that more than a small handful of people use the word. This kept lists and reference sections useful and readable and processable. So a lot of gender words got moved to talk pages pending evidence from more than a Tumblr post that got a few notes, because that wasn't considered enough evidence of the term being in use - and it meant that all the historical and international genders that had been properly documented were more visible, too.

I would be in favour of this rule being introduced here, too. --'''[[User:Cassolotl|Cassolotl]]''' ''([[User_Talk:Cassolotl|talk]]) pronouns: they/them'' 12:38, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
:{{ping|Cassolotl}} better late than never! So what exact requisites you used? more than 100 or 200 notes on tumblr? Or just ban tumblr entirely? --[[User:NeoMahler|NeoMahler]] ([[User talk:NeoMahler|talk]]) 14:18, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
::{{ping|NeoMahler}} Notes on Tumblr weren't considered proof, I guess because liking or reposting something isn't proof that a person ''uses'' a label or word. Blog posts that show that a lot of people use a term would be okay though; the reports from the nonbinary stats survey, http://nonbinarystats.tumblr.com/results, were considered acceptable even though they were on Tumblr because that's just where the reports were hosted - the survey reports had information about how many participants used or identified with each word, so the wiki could say "3% of participants in the Nonbinary Stats survey used this label" or "were happy with this pronoun" or whatever.

::There were some pages on the wiki that were just ''swamped'' with lists of genders that were posted (name and description) on Tumblr, and nothing else. They were moved to the talk page just because there was no evidence that people other than the original poster were using the term, and there were dozens of words like this. It was really hard to find the more commonly used words (like nonbinary or bigender) in amongst them! Which is not to say that they were bad, and if they did start to be used more commonly and documented in (for example) the Nonbinary Stats survey they would be added to the mainspace article with a more reliable reference.

:: So we would say that to be included in the mainspace article it needs to have a reference showing that more than a handful of people were using it - and in practise that did rule out Tumblr posts as a source if those Tumblr posts were just a word and a definition. But ruling out any Tumblr page as a source would, I think, be unwise - especially since the nonbinary presence there is so strong and well-established. After all, it's just a blogging platform! Saying "no Tumblr" would be like saying "no newspapers" - but saying "no Daily Mail" is fine, and saying "no [specific blog that happens to be on Tumblr]" would also be fine. For this reason I'd say the title of this section is probably badly applied - Tumblr is used as a social network in many ways, but it is designed and used as a blogging platform. A very social one where sharing is encouraged, but still a blogging platform! --'''[[User:Cassolotl|Cassolotl]]''' ''([[User_Talk:Cassolotl|talk]]) pronouns: they/them'' 13:21, 14 June 2017 (UTC)

::: {{ping|Cassolotl}} I see, it makes sense. So, what about:
:::* Keeping the abusefilter warning message on all tumblr links saying that only relevant blogs are allowed.
:::* If a whole article is based on questionable tumblr blogs, add the <nowiki>{{tumblr links}}</nowiki> (used currently in [[:Category:Pages with Tumblr links|2 pages]].
:::I don't know how to measure the notability of a blog though. I mean, Nonbinary Stats is clearly a good source. But what about [http://queerquerys.tumblr.com this one]? --[[User:NeoMahler|NeoMahler]] ([[User talk:NeoMahler|talk]]) 14:26, 14 June 2017 (UTC)

:::{{ping|NeoMahler}}I don't think the abuse filter should be there at all, just because to my mind it's not the fact that it's from Tumblr that makes a source unreliable/bad. If there is a warning when adding links, it should say "make sure that the source is reliable. [Link to page about what makes a source reliable.]"

:::The LGBTQ+ Advice blog might be a good source for the use and definition of a word if it's a secondary source, meaning it has to be saying "this reputable person worth interviewing says the word means [this]," as opposed to a primary source, "I/we say the word means [this]." But unless they are somehow providing reliable information that a term is being used by a significant number of people it can't be used to justify the inclusion of the term in the wiki in the first place, if that makes sense?

:::The notability and reliability of blogs is a very difficult thing to judge. I imagine Wikipedia has some good resources on this! But it seems like a slightly separate issue, I think? --'''[[User:Cassolotl|Cassolotl]]''' ''([[User_Talk:Cassolotl|talk]]) pronouns: they/them'' 19:09, 14 June 2017 (UTC)

::::{{ping|Cassolotl}} well, as far as I know, Wikipedia doesn't allow blogs at all. At least the Catalan version. Anyway, ok, makes sense. So I will disable the abuse filter and change the template to "this page contains links to Tumblr blogs who are not notable". Thanks for your input! :) --[[User:NeoMahler|NeoMahler]] ([[User talk:NeoMahler|talk]]) 19:21, 14 June 2017 (UTC)

:::::{{ping|NeoMahler}} Wikipedia does allow links to blogs as sources, but only in some situations. Like, if there is nothing better and the source is reliable in some way. For example, the Nonbinary Stats blog is considered a good source on Wikipedia for information about preferred language for nonbinary people (titles, pronouns). An example is [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender-neutral_title Gender neutral titles], which has links to Practical Androgyny, Beyond the Binary, and Nonbinary Stats - all blogs.

::::: Re: "this page contains links to Tumblr blogs who are not notable" - I think the blogs don't need to be notable, they need to be ''reliable''. If the blog is not a reliable source, the citation needs to be removed and a 'citation-needed' should be added - or the statement removed entirely, or moved to the talk page until it has a source. --'''[[User:Cassolotl|Cassolotl]]''' ''([[User_Talk:Cassolotl|talk]]) pronouns: they/them'' 13:14, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

:::::: {{ping|Cassolotl}} I didn't know this detail about Wikipedia. I think that the Catalan version is stricter in that topic. I'm not sure, though. As for "reliable" instead of "notable", yes, I'm changing it now. When I wrote the template I didn't find the correct word (English is not my first language). --[[User:NeoMahler|NeoMahler]] ([[User talk:NeoMahler|talk]]) 13:21, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

::::::: {{ping|NeoMahler}} Ahh thank you for tirelessly updating the template over many moons, haha! :) --'''[[User:Cassolotl|Cassolotl]]''' ''([[User_Talk:Cassolotl|talk]]) pronouns: they/them'' 12:56, 7 July 2017 (UTC)

== AFAB/AMAB or the written-out forms? ==

Most of the time I see people use AFAB/AMAB instead of "assigned female at birth". Do you think it's a good idea to make AFAB (or AMAB) the main page? That's how it is at the moment but I wanted to make sure that was a reasonable course of action. --[[User:MxLexicon|MxLexicon]] ([[User talk:MxLexicon|talk]]) 2:42 8 April 2017 (UTC)
:{{ping|MxLexicon}} I think that it's better to use the most well-known form for the page titles. I have added the last line to the [[Nonbinary:Style guide#Page names|Naming conventions]]. Edit it if you think it's inaccurate! --[[User:NeoMahler|NeoMahler]] ([[User talk:NeoMahler|talk]]) 08:58, 8 April 2017 (UTC)

:{{ping|MxLexicon}} Checkout [[Assigned at birth]]- Both [[AFAB]] and [[AMAB]] redirect there. I think the acronym works and makes sense, so long as it links to the explanation. --[[User:Pyrollamasteak|Pyrollamasteak]] ([[User talk:Pyrollamasteak|talk]]) Sunday, April 9, 2017 at 5:12:30 am (UTC)

== New main page and featured articles ==

Hi! I'm about to finish the [[User:NeoMahler/tests|new main page]]. There some things we have to decide together:

# Featured articles: I have chosen 12 articles and put them in subpages of the Main Page ([https://nonbinary.miraheze.org/w/index.php?title=Special%253APrefixIndex&prefix=Main+Page%252Ffeatured+articles%252F&namespace=0 see here]). I have chosen articles of different topics, not only identities. Let me know if you think that an article shouldn't be there, or if an article that is not there should be there. The featured article will automatically change every month.
# Texts: please check all texts in the page and correct any errors you find. I'm not a native English speakers, so there's probably something wrong. Also, if you think that a text is too long or too short, feel free to change it, this is a wiki!
# General format: I used the color scheme of the non-binary flag and a flat design because I love flat designs :P However, I'm open on any ideas you have! If you want to make a small change, you can make it directly in my subpage. If it's a big change, please create a new subpage under your user.

Thanks! --[[User:NeoMahler|NeoMahler]] ([[User talk:NeoMahler|talk]]) 11:59, 8 April 2017 (UTC)

: I love it! I made some small edits, including minor grammar points, but that's all. I think the colours and style are good. [[User:Odious odes|odious_odes]] ([[User talk:Odious odes|yodel]]) 15:32, 10 April 2017 (UTC)

::{{ping|Odious odes}} thanks! I have moved it to [[Main Page]]. --[[User:NeoMahler|NeoMahler]] ([[User talk:NeoMahler|talk]]) 14:31, 12 April 2017 (UTC)

== Archived version of nonbinary.org ==

I tried clicking the link on the main page and it said "Page cannot be displayed due to robots.txt". All the nonbinary.org pages show the same result. Is this just me or is it doing this for everyone? Is there another archived version we can work from? --[[User:Kaiforest|Kaiforest]] ([[User talk:Kaiforest|talk]]) 12:15, 18 May 2017 (UTC)
:{{ping|Kaiforest}} wow, two days ago it worked. I hope it's just a temporal issue and we can get it back soon. If not... well, we will have to work on the wiki without its help! --[[User:NeoMahler|NeoMahler]] ([[User talk:NeoMahler|talk]]) 12:47, 18 May 2017 (UTC)
::It seems it's not a temporary issue. Probably the new [nonbinary.org nonbinary.org] has a robots.txt preventing the archiving :( --[[User:NeoMahler|NeoMahler]] ([[User talk:NeoMahler|talk]]) 13:28, 1 June 2017 (UTC)

== What should we do about sexual/romantic orientations? ==

Hello,

The page [[Asexual]] was created some hours ago. I'm not sure if we should also include sexual and romantic orientations here. The [http://wiki.asexuality.org/Main_Page AVENwiki] is already a great resource for the asexual spectrum, although I can't find any other wiki about allosexual orientations.

Since this is the ''Nonbinary'' Wiki, sexual orientations seem out of scope to me. However, maybe we could allow articles regarding sexual orientations as a complementary topic? What do you think? (pinging {{ping|Niki Skylark}} as the creator of said article). --[[User:NeoMahler|NeoMahler]] ([[User talk:NeoMahler|talk]]) 07:56, 19 May 2017 (UTC)

:hello, it's Niki. I do not remember which page this was, but I found someone had requested/linked to an asexual page, which is why I originally made it. I am fine with removing it if you think it is irrelevant. I think some mentions of sexualities makes sense though to clarify how sexuality works for people who identify as nonbinary (for instance, can an agender person be heterosexual? What would that imply, etc.). Also, clarifying that bisexual doesn't mean attracted to only men and women, that sort of thing. 20:04, 21 May 2017 (UTC)Niki

::{{ping|Niki Skylark}} yes, [[LGBT]] links to [[asexual]]. Ok, I agree. If nobody else opposes we can include orientations. --[[User:NeoMahler|NeoMahler]] ([[User talk:NeoMahler|talk]]) 07:56, 22 May 2017 (UTC)

== British/American spelling ==
Currently, some pages are written with British spelling (recognised) and some with American (recognized). Do we want to standardize this? 20:59, 21 May 2017 (UTC) Niki Skylark

:{{ping|Niki Skylark}} I don't think so. We can't force people to use a dialect when writing other than their own! Both dialects are mutually intelligible, so no problem in my opinion. --[[User:NeoMahler|NeoMahler]] ([[User talk:NeoMahler|talk]]) 07:58, 22 May 2017 (UTC)

I think it would be better to go with British spelling because it is more globally recognised. --[[User:Otvm|Otvm]] ([[User talk:Otvm|talk]]) 17:36, 5 November 2017 (UTC)

== Twitter account ==

Hi. Do you think that a Twitter account could help us? Why/why not? If you agree, I will create one. --[[User:NeoMahler|NeoMahler]] ([[User talk:NeoMahler|talk]]) 11:52, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

It could help point people towards this resource and possibly get us more editors/contributors. I don't think there's a particular harm in it, although tumblr might be a better place to advertise (that is where I found out about this wiki).

:{{ping|Niki Skylark}} Tumblr is also a good option (there's a lot of LGBT+ people there), but isn't it designed for longer text walls? On twitter we could post quick news links, new pages, article of the day... tumblr entries would be a lot more work! However, if you feel that you could maintain it, you can create the official tumblr page for the wiki and post resources there or whatever you feel like posting. I'm not a usual user of tumblr :P --[[User:NeoMahler|NeoMahler]] ([[User talk:NeoMahler|talk]]) 18:43, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

== Another wiki (maybe it will help you) ==

I have been really missing nonbinary.org and this past week I had some time, so I decided to crawl and import as many articles as I could into my own wiki. I have gotten a large chunk of articles imported already and Im working on the rest manually or with a bit of automation, This is just a personal project and I don't really expect contributors, but I thought I would post here in case it was useful to anyone. I am over at http://nonbinary.wiki [[User:Falkirks|Falkirks]] ([[User talk:Falkirks|talk]]) 05:55, 31 July 2017 (UTC)

:{{ping|Falkirks}} thanks for telling us! I believe that one wiki instead of three (because there's also [http://gender.wikia.com/wiki/Gender_Wiki Gender Wiki]) is more effective. So I have a proposal: what about importing all articles of your wiki that we don't have here (with an ''imported'' template so we can easily detect them once imported and improve them in case it's necessary)? We could also use the ''nonbinary.wiki'' domain if you want, because miraheze allows custom domains. --[[User:NeoMahler|NeoMahler]] ([[User talk:NeoMahler|talk]]) 09:34, 31 July 2017 (UTC)

::{{ping|NeoMahler}} That sounds like a good idea. I have a bunch of articles left to do on my end. My only concern at this point, is that I am trying to preserve the website almost entirely intact, with minor improvements. But articles here seem to have reduced in size and available information (see https://nonbinary.miraheze.org/w/index.php?title=Agender&diff=525&oldid=215 for example). I will get back to you when I have articles all done on my end (which could be a week or so). [[User:Falkirks|Falkirks]] ([[User talk:Falkirks|talk]]) 16:36, 31 July 2017 (UTC)

:::{{ping|Falkirks}} the reason I remove this content of [[agender]] is that at that time we reached a consensus to remove all content referenced with tumblr or other social networking sites. Some days ago we decided allow blogs as references as long as there's proof that more than a small group of people use that word. See the section ''Are social networks good for references?'' of this page for more information. Thanks for everything! --[[User:NeoMahler|NeoMahler]] ([[User talk:NeoMahler|talk]]) 10:02, 3 August 2017 (UTC)

:::: {{ping|NeoMahler}} <s>That makes sense. Going along with that, would you be willing to merge pages like http://nonbinary.wiki/wiki/List_of_poorly-attested_nonbinary_identities and http://nonbinary.wiki/wiki/Neurogender which are almost entirely tumblr based in source? Because if they aren't imported, then they only exist on archive.org, which isn't very helpful to most people.

== Merge conflicts ==

I have gone through quite a few pages to revert changes made by the merge. There are a few pages which I have left be for now (because the merged version is more complete). There are also some naming conflicts which need resolved in some way.

=== Pages overwritten ===
* [[Xenogender]]
* [[Transsexual]]
* [[Two-spirit]]
* [[Transgender]]
* [[LGBT]]
* [[Gender neutral language]]
* [[Binary genders]]
* [[Umbrella term]]
* [[Sex]]
* [[Pronouns]]
* [[Nonbinary gender]]
* [[Neutrois]]
* [[Bigender]]
* [[Androgyne]]
* [[Gender expression]]
... There may be others which I haven't gotten to yet, but those are unintentional.

=== Naming issues ===
* In the imported content [[Gender-variant identities worldwide]] is used, but here [[Nonbinary identities worldwide]] is used. Leaving two similar pages.
* In the imported content [[Assigned gender at birth]] is use, but here [[Assigned gender]] is used. Leaving two similar pages.
* In the imported content [[Demiboy]] and [[Demigirl]] were both redirects to [[Demigender]] which contained information about all demigenders. Now there is duplicated content.
* In the imported content [[Nonbinary gender]] is used, but here [[Nonbinary]] is used. Leaving two similar pages.

If anyone finds additional issues, feel free to update this list.

:{{ping|Falkirks}} thanks for your work! Can I publicly thank you on Twitter?
:* [[Gender-variant identities worldwide]]: I think it's better this name than ''Nonbinary identities'', because ''nonbinary'' is a modern term while all these identities are traditional. If there's no oppose, I'll merge both articles under the name ''Gender-variant identities worldwide'' leaving a redirect from ''Nonbinary identities worldwide''.
:* [[Assigned gender at birth]]: I'm not sure which name is better. I guess that the longer one is better because it's more complete? I don't know. Any ideas?
:* [[Demigender]]: I think that ''demigender'' should be a single article, with redirects from [[demiboy]] and [[demigirl]]. If there's no oppose, I'll do the merge.
:* [[Nonbinary]] and [[Nonbinary gender]]: Both articles have basically the same content. Which one do you think is better?

== About stubs ==

Hi all, I want to discuss some things about the stubs. Basically, it can be summarised in the question "What exactly is a stub?" [[Demigender]], for example, is a long article which is quite complete and had the stub template. While [[ludogender]], for example, is a short article which is not considered stub. "Common sense" is a good method to decide if an article can be considered stub, but I think we should establish a limit. Should it be a byte limit or a character limit?

There's another smaller thing: I think that the stub template should be placed at the bottom of articles, not at the top. The reason is that the reader already knows if an article is short or not. And although it might help to attract new contributors, I think we can't forget that the articles are for the reader, and the reader does not want templates that tell them obvious things.

What do you think? --[[User:NeoMahler|NeoMahler]] ([[User talk:NeoMahler|talk]]) 18:51, 19 December 2017 (UTC)

== Discord server ==

Hi all, yesterday I joined a Discord server for nonbinary people. It's the only one I know, so I thought it would be nice to add the link to our sidebar (''Social'' section) and promote it with our Twitter account. What do you think? The invite link is [https://discord.gg/CU88gcX https://discord.gg/CU88gcX]. --[[User:NeoMahler|NeoMahler]] ([[User talk:NeoMahler|talk]]) 10:34, 20 December 2017 (UTC)

== Translating the Wiki ==

I think it would be a good idea to spread recognition of nonbinary people by translating this wiki into different languages. Many people speak English, but there are also many who do not speak English, and nonbinary rights may be more difficult to realise if some of the information about nonbinary people and their rights is not multilingual. While there are probably many non-English resources on nonbinary people and their rights and recognition, it would be better to have one too many resources in one language than to have too few in another. --[[User:Otvm|Otvm]] ([[User talk:Otvm|talk]]) 23:51, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
:{{ping|Otvm}} I'm not a native English speaker and in my native languages (Catalan and Spanish) there's not much information on nonbinary identities (especially in Catalan), so I think this is a good idea. But opening other language versions means having other users to maintain them. And while I could edit in a Spanish or a Catalan version, I don't think I could make them grow alone. I will tweet something to see if there are any volunteers who might want to help in other languages. Do you speak any other language? --[[User:NeoMahler|NeoMahler]] ([[User talk:NeoMahler|talk]]) 09:57, 14 January 2018 (UTC)
::{{ping|NeoMahler}} I am currently learning Norwegian, but I am not sure how much I could translate. --[[User:Otvm|Otvm]] ([[User talk:Otvm|talk]]) 20:27, 15 January 2018 (UTC)

There's French, Spanish, Polish and German (although there's already a [https://nibi.space Nonbinary Wiki in German], not related to us). I think that, for the moment, opening a Polish version is a good idea. The users seems really enthusiastic abut it. The next one could be in Spanish, as I also speak it. I'll send a message to [[User:Falkirks|Falkirks]] to see if it's possible to have a pl.nonbinary.wiki domain. --[[User:NeoMahler|NeoMahler]] ([[User talk:NeoMahler|talk]]) 17:26, 18 January 2018 (UTC)
::::{{ping|NeoMahler}} Could https://nonbinary.wiki/ be a page which redirects people to their various languages while the actual website is moved to https://en.nonbinary.wiki/? It could be somewhat more friendly. I can also translate part of the wiki into Norwegian, but it could be slow. I also wanted to ask this: Should the name Nonbinary Wiki be translated, or would it be less confusing to leave the wiki name so it is identical to the website address? --[[User:Otvm|Otvm]] ([[User talk:Otvm|talk]]) 15:34, 21 January 2018 (UTC)
:::::{{ping|Otvm}} well, I suppose we could do that... but it would be difficult and unstable (because we don't own the servers where the wiki is hosted, so would have to use another hosting service which basically means money). I agree that it would be better, but I don't think it's necessary for now. If we ever get bigger with a lot of language versions, then we could reconsider it.
:::::The Polish version has been created with the name [https://pl.nonbinary.wiki/wiki/Strona_główna Niebinarna Wiki]. I don't think it is a good idea to maintain the English name, specially if the language has already a word for "nonbinary" (and most do, because it's just a compound form of no + binary). --[[User:NeoMahler|NeoMahler]] ([[User talk:NeoMahler|talk]]) 18:26, 21 January 2018 (UTC)

== About the stub template ==

Hi!

I think it would be an improvement if we placed the {{tl|stub}} template at the bottom of articles instead of at the top. In my opinion, our readers can already tell if a page is short or not, so there's no need to put a big announcement saying "hey, this page is short".

Also, which limit would you establish for articles to be considered "short"? Ping {{ping|Wolle|Sevaquinn}} as the two active users in the last days. --[[User:NeoMahler|NeoMahler]] ([[User talk:NeoMahler|talk]]) 14:46, 2 May 2018 (UTC)

: I agree, I like the idea of putting the stub template at the bottom, because it looks tidier that way. Personally, I consider an article a stub if it's less than two screens long when viewed on a desktop, OR if most of its headings only have a couple sentences under them. -[[User:Sekhet|Sekhet]] ([[User talk:Sekhet|talk]]) 15:18, 26 February 2019 (UTC)

: I think that the stub template is more to encourage participation, not for a purely informative purpose. I do however agree with the qualifications for being a stub. [[User:MorningSparrow|MorningSparrow]] ([[User talk:MorningSparrow|talk]]) 23:15, 15 April 2019 (UTC)

== Poorly-attested identities ==

I've created [[Nonbinary:What's a poorly-attested identity?]] and added the {{tl|Poorly-attested identity}} template to those pages that meet the requeriments. I've just used the content that was in [[List of poorly-attested nonbinary identities]], so I thought it wasn't necessary to ask for consensus. --[[User:NeoMahler|NeoMahler]] ([[User talk:NeoMahler|talk]]) 11:36, 6 May 2018 (UTC)

== Templates needed ==

Hi, can we please have the wiki templates imported that handle citations and legends? They are https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_templates and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Legend -[[User:Sekhet|Sekhet]] ([[User talk:Sekhet|talk]]) 15:22, 26 February 2019 (UTC)
:{{ping|Sekhet}} I don't think we need to have ''all'' of them. I would say that with web site, book and journal is enough. There's a problem though, and it is that Wikipedia's citation templates use Lua modules. I have zero knowledge on Lua, so I don't feel comfortable importing the modules without being able to maintain them afterward. --[[User:Ondo|Ondo]] ([[User talk:Ondo|talk]]) 20:01, 26 February 2019 (UTC)

== Requesting a MediaWiki extension ==

{{ping|Ondo}} May we please have the [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Labeled_Section_Transclusion MediaWiki extension for transcluding sections]? This would be useful for something I'd like to do with the articles listing neutral names. If we have this extension, then I'll be able to create articles such as "List of neutral Hebrew names" and "List of neutral names about nature," and then use transclusion of sections to make an appropriate selection of names from the alphabetical name lists appear in these other articles as well, without having to manually duplicate each name entry in multiple places. If you find a different process for automatically accomplishing this, which would be more efficient than this particular extension, then I'd appreciate it as well. Otherwise, so far it appears that this extension is the most appropriate for this task. -[[User:Sekhet|Sekhet]] ([[User talk:Sekhet|talk]]) 04:02, 15 April 2019 (UTC)
:{{ping|Sekhet}} done! Do you have access to [[Special:ManageWiki]]? I don't know if it's administrator or bureaucrat-only (in any case, it's good to ping each other if we want to enable new extensions). --[[User:Ondo|Ondo]] ([[User talk:Ondo|talk]]) 14:30, 15 April 2019 (UTC)

== Content Policy ==

Hello,

As the wiki grows in both content and community, I think it's time to put some basic policies in place. I think that keeping it simple is important, but having nothing can also be counterproductive. This is why I have written a Content Policy draft that you can read in [[User:Ondo/Content Policy draft]]. Feel free to edit it, but reply here before making any major changes.

Let me know if you agree or not, and any suggestions or comments you might have. Thank you, --[[User:Ondo|Ondo]] ([[User talk:Ondo|talk]]) 16:10, 15 April 2019 (UTC)

: This looks great! The only thing that’s missing that I would love is a statement acknowledging the intersectionality of these issues and that we will always prioritise the lived experience of groups at these intersections of oppression (ie: people of colour and two spirit). We’ve had some people recently fixing up content for non-English languages that we are not experts in, and we should make it clear that their knowledge is more valuable to us than our potentially outdated source material. [[User:Falkirks|Falkirks]] ([[User_talk:Falkirks|talk]]) 22:52, 15 April 2019 (UTC)

:: {{ping|Falkirks}} I'm not sure I understand what you mean with that. Could you re-phrase? Or even better, you can add it to the draft directly! :) Also, the page has a couple of '''[BOLD]''' parts that need to be discussed. Do you have any ideas for them? --[[User:Ondo|Ondo]] ([[User talk:Ondo|talk]]) 14:49, 16 April 2019 (UTC)

::: Perhaps its not a good fit for a content policy, but I feel like it should be written somewhere. I wanted it to point out that just because someone is non-binary doesn't make them qualified to write about everything in the wiki, we have a lot of content about non-western identities and non-English languages. And that as a policy someone who belongs to a specific group (eg: A two spirit person wanting to edit the article on two spirit people) shouldn't be edited over or argued with by people who are less connected to that identity. And even if our sources disagree with what they are saying, we should do our best to find new sources. I don't mean this to police anyone, just to make it clear to potential new editors that we want to support them. I will try to look at the other parts later today. [[User:Falkirks|Falkirks]] ([[User_talk:Falkirks|talk]]) 15:04, 16 April 2019 (UTC)

:::: {{ping|Falkirks}} if I understand what you are saying, I don't completely agree with you here. Trustworthy sources should be our main reference, even if the individual experience of someone doesn't completely agree with them. Of course, feedback should be taken into account and if someone who has direct experience tells us it's wrong, then looking for new sources is strongly encouraged. But we shouldn't change an article without sources just because someone says so.
:::: In any case, I'm not sure if that would fit the content policy though. Maybe it would be more adequate for a Code of Conduct? I'll ping Wiki Users again in the Discord for feedback on the policy and if no one disagrees, the policy will be approved. Pinging {{ping|Sekhet}} what do you think? --[[User:Ondo|Ondo]] ([[User talk:Ondo|talk]]) 10:51, 26 April 2019 (UTC)

::::: Yes, it does seem better suited for a code of conduct. And I think for the most part I agree with you. I still think something should be formalised just acknowledging that this is a complex issue and that by providing articles about especially marginalised communities we have a duty of care to them. I could go on but I don’t want to detract from the content policy, so I will follow up sometime later about adding something to the code of conduct. Thanks for putting the content policy together!

Falkirks:

Hello! I'm a computer science and social justice student and I spend my free time doing programming projects for social good.

I was responsible for the nonbinary.wiki automated import of articles and files from archive.org, so if you have anything that needs fixed with that, let me know.

== Non-binary or nonbinary? ==

We should agree on what's the correct form. [https://www.reddit.com/r/NonBinary/ Reddit] (and I think that [[User:Cassolotl|Cassolotl]] too ([[Talk:Non-binary|here]])) spell it ''nonbinary'', while [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genderqueer Wikipedia] spells it ''non-binary'' (which is the form we use here, for the moment). If anybody thinks that ''nonbinary'' is better, just let us know and we will decide what form do we use. --[[User:NeoMahler|NeoMahler]] ([[User talk:NeoMahler|talk]]) 15:50, 11 March 2017 (UTC)

: I think that ''nonbinary'' is better because it's easier to type, it reads more smoothly, and it matches the URL of the wiki. However, I have no particularly strong opinion on the matter. [[User:Odious odes|odious_odes]] ([[User talk:Odious odes|yodel]]) 22:42, 7 April 2017 (UTC)

:: I think "nonbinary" is better. It's being more and more commonly used, and a twitter poll by Neutrois Nonsense (http://neutrois.me) had more people voting for "nonbinary" than "non-binary". --[[User:Kaiforest|Kaiforest]] ([[User talk:Kaiforest|talk]]) 11:57, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

:::{{ping|Kaiforest}} thanks for your opinion! I will rename the wiki to Nonbinary wiki together with the project namespace. Than I will proceed to change all words that appear on articles (you can start doing this last thing, if you want). --[[User:NeoMahler|NeoMahler]] ([[User talk:NeoMahler|talk]]) 12:39, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

I have changed the wiki name to Nonbinary, updated the logo (the changes to the logo take some time to take effect, it seems) and also updated the rest of ''non-binary'' occurrences to ''nonbinary''. --[[User:NeoMahler|NeoMahler]] ([[User talk:NeoMahler|talk]]) 18:45, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

== Rename the wiki to Non-binary wiki ==

Basically, the problem now is that the project namespace has the capital letter: ''Non-'''B'''inary:General discussion''. I propose to change it to ''Non-binary wiki'' (also, it would follow better the [[Nonbinary:Style guide|style guide]]. If nobody disagrees I will fill a request to Phabricator soon.

{{tumblr links}}

== Are social networks good for references? ==

There are pages, like [[multigender]], were almost all references are links to tumblr, which is a blog service/social network. I propose to remove these references and the corresponding content if we can't find any other references. Any thoughts? --[[User:NeoMahler|NeoMahler]] ([[User talk:NeoMahler|talk]]) 11:12, 7 April 2017 (UTC)
:Since there's no participation in this thread, I will remove all references to tumblr and other social networks. --[[User:NeoMahler|NeoMahler]] ([[User talk:NeoMahler|talk]]) 09:28, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
I have removed all references and added an [[Special:AbuseFilter/1|filter]] to warn users that add links to tumblr. --[[User:NeoMahler|NeoMahler]] ([[User talk:NeoMahler|talk]]) 11:05, 15 April 2017 (UTC)
:Obviously content referencing ''only'' tumblr or social networks isn't ideal, but at the moment the vast majority of information about nonbinary identities can be found in personal conversations (unciteable), on social networks, and in articles where a reporter is interviewing a single nonbinary person, which doesn't seem any more of a reliable source than social networks. It's still totally dependent on that one person talking getting their info right. If we don't allow citing social networks, that's leaving out a lot of primary source material, most particularly for terms that were coined on tumblr. Leaving them out just makes this resource less complete; I think a better solution would be a warning at the top of the article saying it cites a social network. --[[User:Kaiforest|Kaiforest]] ([[User talk:Kaiforest|talk]]) 12:10, 18 May 2017 (UTC)
::{{ping|Kaiforest}} that's a good argument. The problem with social networks is that while they are a good source for us because all these words to describe gender identities are relatively new, they can also be "abused". If we agree on allowing tumblr links, we should try to establish some sort of criteria to be sure that the tumblr blog used is notable in some way. I have no idea on how to do this, though... what do you think about making the abusefilter just to encourage the user to look for other sources and add the warning you say on top of the article? (The abusefilter currently warns the user saying that tumblr is not allowed, tags the edit as "tumblr link" but doesn't prevent the user of performing the action). --[[User:NeoMahler|NeoMahler]] ([[User talk:NeoMahler|talk]]) 12:45, 18 May 2017 (UTC)
:::{{ping|NeoMahler}} I think the warning at the top is the best way of marking information from tumblr as less reliable to readers, and people can generally figure out for themselves whether that blog is trustworthy. Figuring out criteria sounds difficult to me, especially since sometimes people coin a word they want to use and otherwise don't post a lot of gender stuff. I think the continuation of the abusefilter while still allowing users to take the action is a good idea, but maybe instead of saying tumblr is not allowed, saying tumblr is only allowed if no other sources are available. --[[User:Kaiforest|Kaiforest]] ([[User talk:Kaiforest|talk]]) 15:09, 18 May 2017 (UTC)
::::{{ping|Kaiforest}} I have updated the Abuse Filter warning, you can see it in [[MediaWiki:Abusefilter-warning-tumblr]]. I have also created [[Template:Tumblr links]] and added it to [[Gender neutral titles]] and [[Ambonec]] (I have just restored this page, which was deleted because of that). Feel free to make any suggestion. --[[User:NeoMahler|NeoMahler]] ([[User talk:NeoMahler|talk]]) 17:22, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

This is kinda late, I know, but on the old nonbinary.org wiki there was a rule that in order to be on a mainspace page a gender or pronoun or whatever had to have evidence that more than a small handful of people use the word. This kept lists and reference sections useful and readable and processable. So a lot of gender words got moved to talk pages pending evidence from more than a Tumblr post that got a few notes, because that wasn't considered enough evidence of the term being in use - and it meant that all the historical and international genders that had been properly documented were more visible, too.

I would be in favour of this rule being introduced here, too. --'''[[User:Cassolotl|Cassolotl]]''' ''([[User_Talk:Cassolotl|talk]]) pronouns: they/them'' 12:38, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
:{{ping|Cassolotl}} better late than never! So what exact requisites you used? more than 100 or 200 notes on tumblr? Or just ban tumblr entirely? --[[User:NeoMahler|NeoMahler]] ([[User talk:NeoMahler|talk]]) 14:18, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
::{{ping|NeoMahler}} Notes on Tumblr weren't considered proof, I guess because liking or reposting something isn't proof that a person ''uses'' a label or word. Blog posts that show that a lot of people use a term would be okay though; the reports from the nonbinary stats survey, http://nonbinarystats.tumblr.com/results, were considered acceptable even though they were on Tumblr because that's just where the reports were hosted - the survey reports had information about how many participants used or identified with each word, so the wiki could say "3% of participants in the Nonbinary Stats survey used this label" or "were happy with this pronoun" or whatever.

::There were some pages on the wiki that were just ''swamped'' with lists of genders that were posted (name and description) on Tumblr, and nothing else. They were moved to the talk page just because there was no evidence that people other than the original poster were using the term, and there were dozens of words like this. It was really hard to find the more commonly used words (like nonbinary or bigender) in amongst them! Which is not to say that they were bad, and if they did start to be used more commonly and documented in (for example) the Nonbinary Stats survey they would be added to the mainspace article with a more reliable reference.

:: So we would say that to be included in the mainspace article it needs to have a reference showing that more than a handful of people were using it - and in practise that did rule out Tumblr posts as a source if those Tumblr posts were just a word and a definition. But ruling out any Tumblr page as a source would, I think, be unwise - especially since the nonbinary presence there is so strong and well-established. After all, it's just a blogging platform! Saying "no Tumblr" would be like saying "no newspapers" - but saying "no Daily Mail" is fine, and saying "no [specific blog that happens to be on Tumblr]" would also be fine. For this reason I'd say the title of this section is probably badly applied - Tumblr is used as a social network in many ways, but it is designed and used as a blogging platform. A very social one where sharing is encouraged, but still a blogging platform! --'''[[User:Cassolotl|Cassolotl]]''' ''([[User_Talk:Cassolotl|talk]]) pronouns: they/them'' 13:21, 14 June 2017 (UTC)

::: {{ping|Cassolotl}} I see, it makes sense. So, what about:
:::* Keeping the abusefilter warning message on all tumblr links saying that only relevant blogs are allowed.
:::* If a whole article is based on questionable tumblr blogs, add the <nowiki>{{tumblr links}}</nowiki> (used currently in [[:Category:Pages with Tumblr links|2 pages]].
:::I don't know how to measure the notability of a blog though. I mean, Nonbinary Stats is clearly a good source. But what about [http://queerquerys.tumblr.com this one]? --[[User:NeoMahler|NeoMahler]] ([[User talk:NeoMahler|talk]]) 14:26, 14 June 2017 (UTC)

:::{{ping|NeoMahler}}I don't think the abuse filter should be there at all, just because to my mind it's not the fact that it's from Tumblr that makes a source unreliable/bad. If there is a warning when adding links, it should say "make sure that the source is reliable. [Link to page about what makes a source reliable.]"

:::The LGBTQ+ Advice blog might be a good source for the use and definition of a word if it's a secondary source, meaning it has to be saying "this reputable person worth interviewing says the word means [this]," as opposed to a primary source, "I/we say the word means [this]." But unless they are somehow providing reliable information that a term is being used by a significant number of people it can't be used to justify the inclusion of the term in the wiki in the first place, if that makes sense?

:::The notability and reliability of blogs is a very difficult thing to judge. I imagine Wikipedia has some good resources on this! But it seems like a slightly separate issue, I think? --'''[[User:Cassolotl|Cassolotl]]''' ''([[User_Talk:Cassolotl|talk]]) pronouns: they/them'' 19:09, 14 June 2017 (UTC)

::::{{ping|Cassolotl}} well, as far as I know, Wikipedia doesn't allow blogs at all. At least the Catalan version. Anyway, ok, makes sense. So I will disable the abuse filter and change the template to "this page contains links to Tumblr blogs who are not notable". Thanks for your input! :) --[[User:NeoMahler|NeoMahler]] ([[User talk:NeoMahler|talk]]) 19:21, 14 June 2017 (UTC)

:::::{{ping|NeoMahler}} Wikipedia does allow links to blogs as sources, but only in some situations. Like, if there is nothing better and the source is reliable in some way. For example, the Nonbinary Stats blog is considered a good source on Wikipedia for information about preferred language for nonbinary people (titles, pronouns). An example is [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender-neutral_title Gender neutral titles], which has links to Practical Androgyny, Beyond the Binary, and Nonbinary Stats - all blogs.

::::: Re: "this page contains links to Tumblr blogs who are not notable" - I think the blogs don't need to be notable, they need to be ''reliable''. If the blog is not a reliable source, the citation needs to be removed and a 'citation-needed' should be added - or the statement removed entirely, or moved to the talk page until it has a source. --'''[[User:Cassolotl|Cassolotl]]''' ''([[User_Talk:Cassolotl|talk]]) pronouns: they/them'' 13:14, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

:::::: {{ping|Cassolotl}} I didn't know this detail about Wikipedia. I think that the Catalan version is stricter in that topic. I'm not sure, though. As for "reliable" instead of "notable", yes, I'm changing it now. When I wrote the template I didn't find the correct word (English is not my first language). --[[User:NeoMahler|NeoMahler]] ([[User talk:NeoMahler|talk]]) 13:21, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

== AFAB/AMAB or the written-out forms? ==

Most of the time I see people use AFAB/AMAB instead of "assigned female at birth". Do you think it's a good idea to make AFAB (or AMAB) the main page? That's how it is at the moment but I wanted to make sure that was a reasonable course of action. --[[User:MxLexicon|MxLexicon]] ([[User talk:MxLexicon|talk]]) 2:42 8 April 2017 (UTC)
:{{ping|MxLexicon}} I think that it's better to use the most well-known form for the page titles. I have added the last line to the [[Nonbinary:Style guide#Page names|Naming conventions]]. Edit it if you think it's inaccurate! --[[User:NeoMahler|NeoMahler]] ([[User talk:NeoMahler|talk]]) 08:58, 8 April 2017 (UTC)

:{{ping|MxLexicon}} Checkout [[Assigned at birth]]- Both [[AFAB]] and [[AMAB]] redirect there. I think the acronym works and makes sense, so long as it links to the explanation. --[[User:Pyrollamasteak|Pyrollamasteak]] ([[User talk:Pyrollamasteak|talk]]) Sunday, April 9, 2017 at 5:12:30 am (UTC)

== New main page and featured articles ==

Hi! I'm about to finish the [[User:NeoMahler/tests|new main page]]. There some things we have to decide together:

# Featured articles: I have chosen 12 articles and put them in subpages of the Main Page ([https://nonbinary.miraheze.org/w/index.php?title=Special%253APrefixIndex&prefix=Main+Page%252Ffeatured+articles%252F&namespace=0 see here]). I have chosen articles of different topics, not only identities. Let me know if you think that an article shouldn't be there, or if an article that is not there should be there. The featured article will automatically change every month.
# Texts: please check all texts in the page and correct any errors you find. I'm not a native English speakers, so there's probably something wrong. Also, if you think that a text is too long or too short, feel free to change it, this is a wiki!
# General format: I used the color scheme of the non-binary flag and a flat design because I love flat designs :P However, I'm open on any ideas you have! If you want to make a small change, you can make it directly in my subpage. If it's a big change, please create a new subpage under your user.

Thanks! --[[User:NeoMahler|NeoMahler]] ([[User talk:NeoMahler|talk]]) 11:59, 8 April 2017 (UTC)

: I love it! I made some small edits, including minor grammar points, but that's all. I think the colours and style are good. [[User:Odious odes|odious_odes]] ([[User talk:Odious odes|yodel]]) 15:32, 10 April 2017 (UTC)

::{{ping|Odious odes}} thanks! I have moved it to [[Main Page]]. --[[User:NeoMahler|NeoMahler]] ([[User talk:NeoMahler|talk]]) 14:31, 12 April 2017 (UTC)

== Archived version of nonbinary.org ==

I tried clicking the link on the main page and it said "Page cannot be displayed due to robots.txt". All the nonbinary.org pages show the same result. Is this just me or is it doing this for everyone? Is there another archived version we can work from? --[[User:Kaiforest|Kaiforest]] ([[User talk:Kaiforest|talk]]) 12:15, 18 May 2017 (UTC)
:{{ping|Kaiforest}} wow, two days ago it worked. I hope it's just a temporal issue and we can get it back soon. If not... well, we will have to work on the wiki without its help! --[[User:NeoMahler|NeoMahler]] ([[User talk:NeoMahler|talk]]) 12:47, 18 May 2017 (UTC)
::It seems it's not a temporary issue. Probably the new [nonbinary.org nonbinary.org] has a robots.txt preventing the archiving :( --[[User:NeoMahler|NeoMahler]] ([[User talk:NeoMahler|talk]]) 13:28, 1 June 2017 (UTC)

== What should we do about sexual/romantic orientations? ==

Hello,

The page [[Asexual]] was created some hours ago. I'm not sure if we should also include sexual and romantic orientations here. The [http://wiki.asexuality.org/Main_Page AVENwiki] is already a great resource for the asexual spectrum, although I can't find any other wiki about allosexual orientations.

Since this is the ''Nonbinary'' Wiki, sexual orientations seem out of scope to me. However, maybe we could allow articles regarding sexual orientations as a complementary topic? What do you think? (pinging {{ping|Niki Skylark}} as the creator of said article). --[[User:NeoMahler|NeoMahler]] ([[User talk:NeoMahler|talk]]) 07:56, 19 May 2017 (UTC)

:hello, it's Niki. I do not remember which page this was, but I found someone had requested/linked to an asexual page, which is why I originally made it. I am fine with removing it if you think it is irrelevant. I think some mentions of sexualities makes sense though to clarify how sexuality works for people who identify as nonbinary (for instance, can an agender person be heterosexual? What would that imply, etc.). Also, clarifying that bisexual doesn't mean attracted to only men and women, that sort of thing. 20:04, 21 May 2017 (UTC)Niki

::{{ping|Niki Skylark}} yes, [[LGBT]] links to [[asexual]]. Ok, I agree. If nobody else opposes we can include orientations. --[[User:NeoMahler|NeoMahler]] ([[User talk:NeoMahler|talk]]) 07:56, 22 May 2017 (UTC)

== British/American spelling ==
Currently, some pages are written with British spelling (recognised) and some with American (recognized). Do we want to standardize this? 20:59, 21 May 2017 (UTC) Niki Skylark

:{{ping|Niki Skylark}} I don't think so. We can't force people to use a dialect when writing other than their own! Both dialects are mutually intelligible, so no problem in my opinion. --[[User:NeoMahler|NeoMahler]] ([[User talk:NeoMahler|talk]]) 07:58, 22 May 2017 (UTC)

I think it would be better to go with British spelling because it is more globally recognised. --[[User:Otvm|Otvm]] ([[User talk:Otvm|talk]]) 17:36, 5 November 2017 (UTC)

== Twitter account ==

Hi. Do you think that a Twitter account could help us? Why/why not? If you agree, I will create one. --[[User:NeoMahler|NeoMahler]] ([[User talk:NeoMahler|talk]]) 11:52, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

It could help point people towards this resource and possibly get us more editors/contributors. I don't think there's a particular harm in it, although tumblr might be a better place to advertise (that is where I found out about this wiki). [[User:Niki Skylark|Niki Skylark]] ([[User talk:Niki Skylark|talk]]) 17:05, 25 May 2017 (UTC) Niki Skylark

:{{ping|Niki Skylark}} Tumblr is also a good option (there's a lot of LGBT+ people there), but isn't it designed for longer text walls? On twitter we could post quick news links, new pages, article of the day... tumblr entries would be a lot more work! However, if you feel that you could maintain it, you can create the official tumblr page for the wiki and post resources there or whatever you feel like posting. I'm not a usual user of tumblr :P --[[User:NeoMahler|NeoMahler]] ([[User talk:NeoMahler|talk]]) 18:43, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

:{{ping|Niki Skylark}} ok, I have created [https://twitter.com/NonbinaryWiki it]. Also, I have added a link in the side bar and in the sitenotice. Let's see if this helps us!--[[User:NeoMahler|NeoMahler]] ([[User talk:NeoMahler|talk]]) 14:06, 1 June 2017 (UTC)

== Another wiki (maybe it will help you) ==

I have been really missing nonbinary.org and this past week I had some time, so I decided to crawl and import as many articles as I could into my own wiki. I have gotten a large chunk of articles imported already and Im working on the rest manually or with a bit of automation, This is just a personal project and I don't really expect contributors, but I thought I would post here in case it was useful to anyone. I am over at http://nonbinary.wiki [[User:Falkirks|Falkirks]] ([[User talk:Falkirks|talk]]) 05:55, 31 July 2017 (UTC)

:{{ping|Falkirks}} thanks for telling us! I believe that one wiki instead of three (because there's also [http://gender.wikia.com/wiki/Gender_Wiki Gender Wiki]) is more effective. So I have a proposal: what about importing all articles of your wiki that we don't have here (with an ''imported'' template so we can easily detect them once imported and improve them in case it's necessary)? We could also use the ''nonbinary.wiki'' domain if you want, because miraheze allows custom domains. --[[User:NeoMahler|NeoMahler]] ([[User talk:NeoMahler|talk]]) 09:34, 31 July 2017 (UTC)

::{{ping|NeoMahler}} That sounds like a good idea. I have a bunch of articles left to do on my end.

:::{{ping|Falkirks}} the reason I remove this content of [[agender]] is that at that time we reached a consensus to remove all content referenced with tumblr or other social networking sites.

== Merge conflicts ==

I have gone through quite a few pages to revert changes made by the merge. There are a few pages which I have left be for now (because the merged version is more complete). There are also some naming conflicts which need resolved in some way.

=== Pages overwritten ===
* [[Xenogender]]
* [[Transsexual]]
* [[Two-spirit]]
* [[Transgender]]
* [[LGBT]]
* [[Gender neutral language]]
* [[Binary genders]]
* [[Umbrella term]]
* [[Sex]]
* [[Pronouns]]
* [[Nonbinary gender]]
* [[Neutrois]]
* [[Bigender]]
* [[Androgyne]]
* [[Gender expression]]
... There may be others which I haven't gotten to yet, but those are unintentional.

=== Naming issues ===
* In the imported content [[Gender-variant identities worldwide]] is used, but here [[Nonbinary identities worldwide]] is used. Leaving two similar pages.
* In the imported content [[Assigned gender at birth]] is use, but here [[Assigned gender]] is used. Leaving two similar pages.
* In the imported content [[Demiboy]] and [[Demigirl]] were both redirects to [[Demigender]] which contained information about all demigenders. Now there is duplicated content.
* In the imported content [[Nonbinary gender]] is used, but here [[Nonbinary]] is used. Leaving two similar pages.

If anyone finds additional issues, feel free to update this list.

:{{ping|Falkirks}} thanks for your work! Can I publicly thank you on Twitter?
:* [[Gender-variant identities worldwide]]: I think it's better this name than ''Nonbinary identities'', because ''nonbinary'' is a modern term while all these identities are traditional. If there's no oppose, I'll merge both articles under the name ''Gender-variant identities worldwide'' leaving a redirect from ''Nonbinary identities worldwide''.
:* [[Assigned gender at birth]]: I'm not sure which name is better. I guess that the longer one is better because it's more complete? I don't know. Any ideas?
:* [[Demigender]]: I think that ''demigender'' should be a single article, with redirects from [[demiboy]] and [[demigirl]]. If there's no oppose, I'll do the merge.
:* [[Nonbinary]] and [[Nonbinary gender]]: Both articles have basically the same content. Which one do you think is better?

== About stubs ==

Hi all, I want to discuss some things about the stubs. Basically, it can be summarised in the question "What exactly is a stub?" [[Demigender]], for example, is a long article which is quite complete and had the stub template. While [[ludogender]], for example, is a short article which is not considered stub. "Common sense" is a good method to decide if an article can be considered stub, but I think we should establish a limit. Should it be a byte limit or a character limit?

There's another smaller thing: I think that the stub template should be placed at the bottom of articles, not at the top. The reason is that the reader already knows if an article is short or not. And although it might help to attract new contributors, I think we can't forget that the articles are for the reader, and the reader does not want templates that tell them obvious things.

What do you think? --[[User:NeoMahler|NeoMahler]] ([[User talk:NeoMahler|talk]]) 18:51, 19 December 2017 (UTC)

== Discord server ==

Hi all, yesterday I joined a Discord server for nonbinary people. It's the only one I know, so I thought it would be nice to add the link to our sidebar (''Social'' section) and promote it with our Twitter account. What do you think? The invite link is [https://discord.gg/CU88gcX https://discord.gg/CU88gcX]. --[[User:NeoMahler|NeoMahler]] ([[User talk:NeoMahler|talk]]) 10:34, 20 December 2017 (UTC)

== Translating the Wiki ==

I think it would be a good idea to spread recognition of nonbinary people by translating this wiki into different languages. Many people speak English, but there are also many who do not speak English, and nonbinary rights may be more difficult to realise if some of the information about nonbinary people and their rights is not multilingual. While there are probably many non-English resources on nonbinary people and their rights and recognition, it would be better to have one too many resources in one language than to have too few in another. --[[User:Otvm|Otvm]] ([[User talk:Otvm|talk]]) 23:51, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
:{{ping|Otvm}} I'm not a native English speaker and in my native languages (Catalan and Spanish) there's not much information on nonbinary identities (especially in Catalan), so I think this is a good idea. But opening other language versions means having other users to maintain them. And while I could edit in a Spanish or a Catalan version, I don't think I could make them grow alone. I will tweet something to see if there are any volunteers who might want to help in other languages. Do you speak any other language? --[[User:NeoMahler|NeoMahler]] ([[User talk:NeoMahler|talk]]) 09:57, 14 January 2018 (UTC)
::{{ping|NeoMahler}} I am currently learning Norwegian, but I am not sure how much I could translate. --[[User:Otvm|Otvm]] ([[User talk:Otvm|talk]]) 20:27, 15 January 2018 (UTC)
:::{{ping|Otvm}} I made a [https://www.reddit.com/r/NonBinary/comments/7r2324/nonbinary_wiki_in_other_languages/ post on reddit] and some users said they were interested in opening a new version in their language. There's French, Spanish, Polish and German (although there's already a [https://nibi.space Nonbinary Wiki in German], not related to us). I think that, for the moment, opening a Polish version is a good idea. The users seems really enthusiastic abut it. The next one could be in Spanish, as I also speak it. I'll send a message to [[User:Falkirks|Falkirks]] to see if it's possible to have a pl.nonbinary.wiki domain. --[[User:NeoMahler|NeoMahler]] ([[User talk:NeoMahler|talk]]) 17:26, 18 January 2018 (UTC)
::::{{ping|NeoMahler}} Could https://nonbinary.wiki/ be a page which redirects people to their various languages while the actual website is moved to https://en.nonbinary.wiki/? It could be somewhat more friendly. I can also translate part of the wiki into Norwegian, but it could be slow. I also wanted to ask this: Should the name Nonbinary Wiki be translated, or would it be less confusing to leave the wiki name so it is identical to the website address? --[[User:Otvm|Otvm]] ([[User talk:Otvm|talk]]) 15:34, 21 January 2018 (UTC)
:::::{{ping|Otvm}} well, I suppose we could do that... but it would be difficult and unstable (because we don't own the servers where the wiki is hosted, so would have to use another hosting service which basically means money). I agree that it would be better, but I don't think it's necessary for now. If we ever get bigger with a lot of language versions, then we could reconsider it.
:::::The Polish version has been created with the name [https://pl.nonbinary.wiki/wiki/Strona_główna Niebinarna Wiki]. I don't think it is a good idea to maintain the English name, specially if the language has already a word for "nonbinary" (and most do, because it's just a compound form of no + binary). --[[User:NeoMahler|NeoMahler]] ([[User talk:NeoMahler|talk]]) 18:26, 21 January 2018 (UTC)

Update: the Polish version has a single article, almost no edits. I have tweeted the link to see if we can find any contributors. Let's see if we can keep it active! --[[User:NeoMahler|NeoMahler]] ([[User talk:NeoMahler|talk]]) 14:43, 2 May 2018 (UTC)

== About the stub template ==

Hi!

I think it would be an improvement if we placed the {{tl|stub}} template at the bottom of articles instead of at the top. In my opinion, our readers can already tell if a page is short or not, so there's no need to put a big announcement saying "hey, this page is short".

Also, which limit would you establish for articles to be considered "short"? Ping {{ping|Wolle|Sevaquinn}} as the two active users in the last days. --[[User:NeoMahler|NeoMahler]] ([[User talk:NeoMahler|talk]]) 14:46, 2 May 2018 (UTC)

: I agree, I like the idea of putting the stub template at the bottom, because it looks tidier that way. Personally, I consider an article a stub if it's less than two screens long when viewed on a desktop, OR if most of its headings only have a couple sentences under them. -[[User:Sekhet|Sekhet]] ([[User talk:Sekhet|talk]]) 15:18, 26 February 2019 (UTC)

== Poorly-attested identities ==

I've created [[Nonbinary:What's a poorly-attested identity?]] and added the {{tl|Poorly-attested identity}} template to those pages that meet the requeriments. I've just used the content that was in [[List of poorly-attested nonbinary identities]], so I thought it wasn't necessary to ask for consensus. --[[User:NeoMahler|NeoMahler]] ([[User talk:NeoMahler|talk]]) 11:36, 6 May 2018 (UTC)

== Templates needed ==

Hi, can we please have the wiki templates imported that handle citations and legends? They are https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_templates and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Legend -[[User:Sekhet|Sekhet]] ([[User talk:Sekhet|talk]]) 15:22, 26 February 2019 (UTC)
:{{ping|Sekhet}} I don't think we need to have ''all'' of them. I would say that with web site, book and journal is enough. There's a problem though, and it is that Wikipedia's citation templates use Lua modules. I have zero knowledge on Lua, so I don't feel comfortable importing the modules without being able to maintain them afterward. --[[User:Ondo|Ondo]] ([[User talk:Ondo|talk]]) 20:01, 26 February 2019 (UTC)

== Requesting a MediaWiki extension ==

{{ping|Ondo}} May we please have the [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Labeled_Section_Transclusion MediaWiki extension for transcluding sections]? This would be useful for something I'd like to do with the articles listing neutral names. If we have this extension, then I'll be able to create articles such as "List of neutral Hebrew names" and "List of neutral names about nature," and then use transclusion of sections to make an appropriate selection of names from the alphabetical name lists appear in these other articles as well, without having to manually duplicate each name entry in multiple places. If you find a different process for automatically accomplishing this, which would be more efficient than this particular extension, then I'd appreciate it as well. Otherwise, so far it appears that this extension is the most appropriate for this task. -[[User:Sekhet|Sekhet]] ([[User talk:Sekhet|talk]]) 04:02, 15 April 2019 (UTC)
:{{ping|Sekhet}} done! Do you have access to [[Special:ManageWiki]]? I don't know if it's administrator or bureaucrat-only (in any case, it's good to ping each other if we want to enable new extensions). --[[User:Ondo|Ondo]] ([[User talk:Ondo|talk]]) 14:30, 15 April 2019 (UTC)
::{{ping|Ondo}} Thank you! I don't have access to that special page. --[[User:Sekhet|Sekhet]] ([[User talk:Sekhet|talk]]) 20:09, 15 April 2019 (UTC)

== Content Policy ==

Hello,

As the wiki grows in both content and community, I think it's time to put some basic policies in place. I think that keeping it simple is important, but having nothing can also be counterproductive. This is why I have written a Content Policy draft that you can read in [[User:Ondo/Content Policy draft]]. Feel free to edit it, but reply here before making any major changes.

Let me know if you agree or not, and any suggestions or comments you might have. Thank you, --[[User:Ondo|Ondo]] ([[User talk:Ondo|talk]]) 16:10, 15 April 2019 (UTC)

: This looks great! The only thing that’s missing that I would love is a statement acknowledging the intersectionality of these issues and that we will always prioritise the lived experience of groups at these intersections of oppression (ie: people of colour and two spirit). We’ve had some people recently fixing up content for non-English languages that we are not experts in, and we should make it clear that their knowledge is more valuable to us than our potentially outdated source material.

Glossary of English gender and sex terminology

2019-04-08T08:57:52Z

Falkirks:

{{Content warning|reclaimed slurs and potentially offensive terms}}
{{Glossary list}}
This '''glossary of English gender and sex terminology''' shows actual language use. Unless a word is marked with a specific country, assume all these words may be used internationally, in any country where English is spoken.

This could be called a [[MOGII]] glossary. This glossary's selection of words has a focus on [[nonbinary]] identities, and closely related subjects of gender non-conformity. This glossary also collects words about gender and sexuality, especially words used by or in reference to MOGII identities (transgender, gay, lesbian, bisexual, and asexual), as well as [[intersex]] conditions, as these provide essential context, and often have an overlap with the main subject. The glossary includes psychiatric terminology as well as subcultural slang, and obsolete historical terms as well as very new words (neologisms). The words cover identity labels, gender-neutral pronouns, diagnoses, and political issues.

If you put more words into this glossary, try to only put in words that you wouldn't find in the average pocket dictionary. Give sources to show that the word is really used in the way you say, or, if the wiki has an entry about that word, link to it. Keep glossary entries short, about three lines long at most. If they get too long, make a new wiki article for them.

Although it is useful to learn how to understand specialized jargon, you can be more helpful to your readers if you keep your own writing easy to understand. When writing for this wiki, please try to use plain English as much as possible, and use specialized jargon only sparingly, and as needed.

Because this is a reclaimed slur, people who aren't transgender shouldn't use this word, and should instead say "trans medicalist."

Glossary of English gender and sex terminology

2019-04-08T08:56:37Z

Falkirks:

{{Content warning|reclaimed slurs and potentially offensive terms}}
{{Glossary list}}
This '''glossary of English gender and sex terminology''' shows actual language use. Unless a word is marked with a specific country, assume all these words may be used internationally, in any country where English is spoken.

This could be called a [[MOGII]] glossary. This glossary's selection of words has a focus on [[nonbinary]] identities, and closely related subjects of gender non-conformity. This glossary also collects words about gender and sexuality, especially words used by or in reference to MOGII identities (transgender, gay, lesbian, bisexual, and asexual), as well as [[intersex]] conditions, as these provide essential context, and often have an overlap with the main subject. The glossary includes psychiatric terminology as well as subcultural slang, and obsolete historical terms as well as very new words (neologisms). The words cover identity labels, gender-neutral pronouns, diagnoses, and political issues.

If you put more words into this glossary, try to only put in words that you wouldn't find in the average pocket dictionary. Give sources to show that the word is really used in the way you say, or, if the wiki has an entry about that word, link to it. Keep glossary entries short, about three lines long at most. If they get too long, make a new wiki article for them.

Although it is useful to learn how to understand specialized jargon, you can be more helpful to your readers if you keep your own writing easy to understand. When writing for this wiki, please try to use plain English as much as possible, and use specialized jargon only sparingly, and as needed.

List of nonbinary identities

2019-04-07T15:56:09Z

Falkirks: /* M */

{{Content warning|reclaimed slurs}}
This alphabetical list of some of the '''more common nonbinary identities''' gives names of many kinds of [[gender identity|gender identities]] that are [[nonbinary]]. That is, those other than just [[female]] and [[male]], which are the [[binary gender]]s. This list gives names for nonbinary identities in English-speaking cultures, as well as [[gender-variant identities worldwide|those that are part of other cultures]]. (For the latter, please never use a word for your gender that belongs only to a culture or ethnic group that is not yours.) Some of these words for nonbinary genders have been used in writing for thousands of years. Meanwhile, some of these words were created last year. This page lists fewer of the older gender-variant identities than the new ones, because it can be harder to say whether it's accurate to put those in the category of "nonbinary." See also ''[[List of uncommon nonbinary identities]]''.

Falkirks: /* Counts for gendervoid and genderless */ new section

I believe everyone born agender. Some of us just get gendered later.

== Counts for gendervoid and genderless ==

It might be nice to find a way to incorporate these related identities into the infobox. They seem too closely related to warrant new articles. Yet it would be useful to include frequency info from the gender census for these terms. Just a thought. This also could be used for [[nonbinary]] to add frequency info for "nb" and "enby".

List of nonbinary identities

Falkirks: /* F */

{{Content warning|reclaimed slurs}}
This alphabetical list of some of the '''more common nonbinary identities''' gives names of many kinds of [[gender identity|gender identities]] that are [[nonbinary]]. That is, those other than just [[female]] and [[male]], which are the [[binary gender]]s. This list gives names for nonbinary identities in English-speaking cultures, as well as [[gender-variant identities worldwide|those that are part of other cultures]]. (For the latter, please never use a word for your gender that belongs only to a culture or ethnic group that is not yours.) Some of these words for nonbinary genders have been used in writing for thousands of years. Meanwhile, some of these words were created last year. This page lists fewer of the older gender-variant identities than the new ones, because it can be harder to say whether it's accurate to put those in the category of "nonbinary." See also ''[[List of uncommon nonbinary identities]]''.

This alphabetical list of some of the '''more common nonbinary identities''' gives names of many kinds of [[gender identity|gender identities]] that are [[nonbinary]].
