Rafa H.(Any pronouns): Changed "Gender identity" to "Nuanced definition of the identity" after A critic that this seemed to merge the definitions of "Muxe/Muxhe" with "Muxeidad"

'''Muxeidad''' is a Zapotec term that refers to the cultural context and the state of being that defines a person's identity and experience. The term originates from the region of Oaxaca in Mexico.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://blog.revistadelauniversidad.mx/la-muxeidad/|title=La muxeidad|last=Ramírez López|first=Iván|date=8 April 2019|website=Jóvenes en la Revista|language=Spanish|access-date=14 May 2025}}</ref>

==Nuanced definition of the Identity==
In Zapotec culture, a gender identity recognized under the term "muxeidad" is ''[[muxe]]'', a third gender that is recognized within their culture with specific nuances that differ from a Western definition of ''[[nonbinary]]''.

==Social Role==
Rather than an identity that is in opposition to the [[gender binary]], Muxes occupy a distinct role within their society. Their society is matrifocal, and women have valuable roles. For instance, women control the economy, as many women are at once matriarchs, artisans, and merchants. Muxes participate in these feminine spheres of their society, such as artisan work and household maintenance etc. While men and women often leave their parents' household to get married, muxes usually live in their parents' household to take care of their aging parents.

Choosing a new '''name''' can be part of transition for nonbinary people who feel their birth name does not correctly or entirely reflect their [[gender]] and/or [[gender expression]]. Many nonbinary people choose a name that is not coded specifically as male or female—a neutral name—to avoid being labeled as one or the other based on their name. However, a gender neutral name is not a necessity; the same goes for choosing a new name in general. Some nonbinary people choose names with feminine or masculine connotations or choose to keep their birth name. Some nonbinary people choose to go by both a feminine and a masculine name: for example [[Jonathan Rachel Clynch]], [[Meg-John Barker]], [[Cyrus Grace Dunham]], [[Justin Vivian Bond]], and [[James-Beth Merritt]]. Another gender-neutral option is to go by initials, like such people as [[B. Scott]], [[CN Lester]], [[JD Samson]], [[H. Melt]], and [[G.R. Gritt]].

<section end=NamesSideList />
The process of choosing a new name, if one should so desire to do so, can be a process of trial and error. For some, the process may be relatively short, while others may test out many different names before deciding on one, and some may stay with one name for a long time before realizing another suits them better.

There are some questions that are important when finding the right name:
* Is the name compatible with my cultural or ethnic background? Avoid [[Ethnicity and culture#Cultural_appropriation|cultural appropriation]].
* Do I want a name that was typical around the time I was born? Do I want a vintage feel to the new name? Or would I rather it be uncommon?
* Is the name I'm considering potentially a nickname for other names or is it a name that will easily get me nicknamed? Am I okay with this?
* Am I looking for any specific sentiment or meaning for my name to have?
* Do I want to legally change my name, and if so, is it a name I can legally obtain within my country? Some countries have laws and regulations about names and name changes.
*Does the meaning resonate with me? (This can be the traditional etymological meaning, or a personal symbolism you created for yourself.)

==Legal Name Changes==

===United States===
In the United States, the specifics for obtaining a legal name change can vary depending on the state. Because of this, it is best to research the specifics for the state. The [https://transequality.org National Center for Transgender Equality] maintains a useful web portal called the [https://transequality.org/documents ID Documents Center].

===United Kingdom (Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland)===
In the United Kingdom, you do not have to follow a legal process to start using a new name, but you may need to in order for official documents to reflect your new name.<ref name="UK-change-name">{{Cite web|url=https://www.gov.uk/change-name-deed-poll|title=Change your name by deed poll|last=UK Government|access-date=1 February 2025}}</ref> In England and Wales, the General Registry Office provides a template form that allows a person aged 16 or older (or a child's parents) to legally change their name for free by creating an [https://www.gov.uk/change-name-deed-poll/make-an-adult-deed-poll unenrolled deed poll] or using a Gender Recognition Certificate, although there is a charge if people wish to have their birth certificate re-issued in their new name. It is not necessary to have an enrolled deed poll, and this involves publicly publishing the new name with the [[deadname]] in [https://www.thegazette.co.uk/all-notices/notice?text=&categorycode=G406000002&noticetypes=&location-postcode-1=&location-distance-1=1&location-local-authority-1=&numberOfLocationSearches=1&start-publish-date=&end-publish-date=&edition=&london-issue=&edinburgh-issue=&belfast-issue=&sort-by=&results-page-size=10 The ''Gazette''].

The UK has several ways to change a legally change a forename, middle name or surname:

*creating a [https://www.gov.uk/change-name-deed-poll Deed Poll] which is the most common way to legally change your forename(s)
*[https://www.gov.uk/apply-gender-recognition-certificate Gender Recognition Certificates], although the UK does not legally accept a non-binary gender on official documents
*[https://www.gov.uk/change-name-driving-licence Statutory Declaration] signed by a magistrate, solicitor or commissioner of oaths (LOC021), or by a [https://www.nrscotland.gov.uk/registration/changing-your-name/ notary public or justice of the peace] in Scotland.
*Affidavits
*Marriage Certificates or divorce documentation can't be used to change forenames

Passport changes involving only a [https://www.gov.uk/changing-passport-information/name-divorce-deed-poll-forenames-title minor change of forename] (e.g. spelling) without a gender marker change have a separate option via the Passport Office. In Scotland, [https://www.nrscotland.gov.uk/registration/changing-your-name/ National Records of Scotland] handles change of names and in Northern Ireland, [https://www.nidirect.gov.uk/articles/recording-change-name GGeneral Register Office for Northern Ireland (GRONI)] provides this service.

===Canada===
In Canada, legal name changes are handled by the province in which you are resident. In most cases, you will need parental consent if you are under the age of majority. In most cases you will also need to pay a fee for the name change, and additional fees to update ID such as your driver's license and passport. Can change at 18 or older, unless you have permission from guardians.

Video games with nonbinary player character options

2026-04-18T22:01:06Z

Rafa H.(Any pronouns): Added a new "2026" section with A new game

{{content warning|transphobic violence, gender dysphoria}}
In most video games, the player's character either has a preselected binary gender, or can be set as only male or female. This page will list games that meet at least one of the following criteria:
* allow the player to create their character as specifically nonbinary (often by selecting an option for [[singular they]] pronouns/entering custom pronouns) or
* have a player character creation process with no reference to gender at all.

So, the player characters in games on this page are not ''canonically'' nonbinary, but they can be nonbinary based on how one plays.
For characters that ''canonically'' have a gender outside the male-or-female binary, see [[Nonbinary gender in fiction#Video games]].

(Games are listed chronologically by year of first release, or by the year that a nonbinary player character option was introduced, whichever is later.)

===2010===
[[File:Choice_of_the_dragon_screenshot.png|Gender selection screen in ''Choice of the Dragon''.|thumb]]
* ''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, you are given the option of being male, female, neither, or an undetermined gender.

===2015===
*''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.
* In the RPG ''7th Dragon III Code: VFD'', you create your character without any reference to gender, and the game will use they/them pronouns for you and your teammate characters regardless of appearance. Players also can change their character's appearance and name anytime.<ref name="lgbt_Gend">{{Cite web |title=Gender in 7th Dragon III Code: VFD |author= |work=LGBTQ Video Game Archive |date=3 May 2019 |access-date=13 July 2021 |url= https://lgbtqgamearchive.com/2019/05/03/gender-in-7th-dragon-iii-code-vfd/#more-11037|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230629080521/https://lgbtqgamearchive.com/2019/05/03/gender-in-7th-dragon-iii-code-vfd/ |archive-date=17 July 2023 }}</ref>

*''The Arcana'': This fantasy/romance visual novel allows the player to fully customize the protagonist by choosing their name and pronouns at the start of the game, including they/them. The player's choice of pronouns and name does not affect the narrative or romance routes, as all main love interests pursue the protagonist regardless of their identity. The player's name and pronouns can be edited at any time during the game.

Rafa H.(Any pronouns): updated the List of unreleased games by removing A game that Is now released

{{content warning|transphobic violence, gender dysphoria}}
In most video games, the player's character either has a preselected binary gender, or can be set as only male or female. This page will list games that meet at least one of the following criteria:
* allow the player to create their character as specifically nonbinary (often by selecting an option for [[singular they]] pronouns/entering custom pronouns) or
* have a player character creation process with no reference to gender at all.

So, the player characters in games on this page are not ''canonically'' nonbinary, but they can be nonbinary based on how one plays.
For characters that ''canonically'' have a gender outside the male-or-female binary, see [[Nonbinary gender in fiction#Video games]].

(Games are listed chronologically by year of first release, or by the year that a nonbinary player character option was introduced, whichever is later.)

*''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.

Video games with nonbinary player character options

Rafa H.(Any pronouns): Added a new gaming and social platform inclusive of Nonbinary individuals named "Rec Room"

{{content warning|transphobic violence, gender dysphoria}}
In most video games, the player's character either has a preselected binary gender, or can be set as only male or female. This page will list games that meet at least one of the following criteria:
* allow the player to create their character as specifically nonbinary (often by selecting an option for [[singular they]] pronouns/entering custom pronouns) or
* have a player character creation process with no reference to gender at all.

So, the player characters in games on this page are not ''canonically'' nonbinary, but they can be nonbinary based on how one plays.
For characters that ''canonically'' have a gender outside the male-or-female binary, see [[Nonbinary gender in fiction#Video games]].

(Games are listed chronologically by year of first release, or by the year that a nonbinary player character option was introduced, whichever is later.)

*''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.

* allow the player to create their character as specifically nonbinary (often by selecting an option for [[singular they]] pronouns/entering custom pronouns) or
* have a player character creation process with no reference to gender at all.

So, the player characters in games on this page are not ''canonically'' nonbinary, but they can be nonbinary based on how one plays.
For characters that ''canonically'' have a gender outside the male-or-female binary, see [[Nonbinary gender in fiction#Video games]].

(Games are listed chronologically by year of first release, or by the year that a nonbinary player character option was introduced, whichever is later.)

*''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.

Video games with nonbinary player character options

Rafa H.(Any pronouns): Added a new game to the list called "Heartstop Tour"

{{content warning|transphobic violence, gender dysphoria}}
In most video games, the player's character either has a preselected binary gender, or can be set as only male or female. This page will list games that meet at least one of the following criteria:
* allow the player to create their character as specifically nonbinary (often by selecting an option for [[singular they]] pronouns/entering custom pronouns) or
* have a player character creation process with no reference to gender at all.

So, the player characters in games on this page are not ''canonically'' nonbinary, but they can be nonbinary based on how one plays.
For characters that ''canonically'' have a gender outside the male-or-female binary, see [[Nonbinary gender in fiction#Video games]].

(Games are listed chronologically by year of first release, or by the year that a nonbinary player character option was introduced, whichever is later.)

*''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.

2025-10-12T18:17:59Z

Rafa H.(Any pronouns): Added a new character in the 2016 videogames section ,Specifically Funtime Foxy from the horror games franchise "Five Nights at Freddy's".

'''Undisclosed gender in fiction''' is when 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 [[Fictional depictions of nonbinary gender|nonbinary gender identities in fiction]]. 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 [[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 name="BMOwikia">https://adventuretime.wikia.com/wiki/BMO [https://web.archive.org/web/20230528141716/http://adventuretime.wikia.com/wiki/BMO Archived] on 17 July 2023</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 name="BMOwikia" /> BMO is called "she" by Charlie in "Daddy-Daughter Card Wars" (saying "she sank straight to the bottom"). Fans claim that characters have always alternated between calling BMO "he," "she," and "it," but specific canon evidence of the latter still wants to be recorded here.
** BMO's titles and descriptions: Though Finn has often referred to BMO as "he," Finn called BMO "M'lady" in "Conquest of Cuteness."<ref name="BMOwikia" /> This may have been facetious. In "Daddy-Daughter Card Wars," Charlie does a Tarot reading for BMO, and says lightheartedly, "this card means you're a man," which amuses BMO.
** 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 name="BMOwikia" /> 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 [https://web.archive.org/web/20190926025946/http://adventuretime.wikia.com:80/wiki/BMO's_Pregnant_Song Archived] on 17 July 2023</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 name="Romano-AOT">{{Cite web |title='Attack on Titan' creator gets the last word in debate over character's gender |last=Romano |first=Aja |work=The Daily Dot |date=16 January 2014 |access-date=10 September 2021 |url= https://www.dailydot.com/parsec/fandom/attack-titan-snk-hange-hanji-gender-debate/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230530070301/https://www.dailydot.com/parsec/fandom/attack-titan-snk-hange-hanji-gender-debate/ |archive-date=17 July 2023 }}</ref>
* ''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|agender]] or genderblind. They typically are typically referred to using traditionally feminine pronouns such as "she", though Haruhi has shown no preference.
* The character Edward Wong Hau Pepelu Tivruski IV ("Ed" for short) in ''Cowboy Bebop'' is androgynous, and Ed's father is unsure if they are his son or daughter. The director Shinichiro Watanabe said in an interview that "[Ed's] gender is meaningless, we don't need it. [...] I wanted to create a character that surpasses humanity. I personally think that he might not even be human."<ref name="Rizzo-Smith">{{Cite web |title=The Many Inspirations of Cowboy Bebop Director Shinichiro Watanabe |last=Rizzo-Smith |first=Julian |work=IGN |date=23 November 2017 |access-date=15 October 2020 |url= https://www.ign.com/articles/2017/11/24/the-many-inspirations-of-cowboy-bebop-director-shinichiro-watanabe|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230330055253/https://www.ign.com/articles/2017/11/24/the-many-inspirations-of-cowboy-bebop-director-shinichiro-watanabe |archive-date=17 July 2023 }}</ref> In the 2021 live-action version of the show, Ed is portrayed by a nonbinary actor, Eden Perkins.

== Audio ==

* The audio drama series ''Bernice Summerfield'' (a 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 [[English neutral 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 nonbinary 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/ [https://web.archive.org/web/20230322233347/https://www.wired.com/2014/10/geeks-guide-ann-leckie/ Archived] on 17 July 2023</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 [[English 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://web.archive.org/web/20230505214112/https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1580481-gender-neutral-characters-and-pronouns Archived] on 17 July 2023</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 language; even furniture has a gender, so it's quite an accomplishment)
* In ''Pew'', by Catherine Lacey, the citizens of a small town find "a person of indeterminate race and gender" asleep in a church pew. This person, who becomes known as Pew, refuses to speak or identify themself in any way. At first the townspeople are simply curious, but eventually they start to distrust and mistreat Pew.<ref name="Pew">{{Cite web |title=Book Review - Pew by Catherine Lacey |last=Bufferd |first=Lauren |work=BookPage.com |date=August 2020 |access-date=3 October 2020 |url= https://bookpage.com/reviews/25326-catherine-lacey-pew-fiction |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221004070720/https://www.bookpage.com/reviews/25326-catherine-lacey-pew-fiction/ |archive-date=17 July 2023 }}</ref>

* ''Sphinx'', by Anne Garréta, is a romance between the narrator and their lover "A***", which is written entirely without gendering either one of them.

* ''Alex and Alex'' (2022) is a picture book for ages 3 to 6, about two children named Alex, who are both of unspecified gender. Neither character is referred to with pronouns in the text.

== 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'. In the commentary for the fifth volume, ''Blood Runs in the Family'', the author refers to Vaarsuvius as [[genderqueer]]. However, this term is not mentioned in the comic itself.
* ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20161219092841/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?").
* In the Sailor Moon franchise, across the various comic and animated adaptations (not counting bowdlerized English dubs), there are some characters who aren't gender conforming.
** One such character is Haruka Tenoh, whose heroic alter-ego is Sailor Uranus. She looks like a masculine woman, and is in a lesbian relationship with Sailor Neptune. Japanese has several different first-person pronouns (equivalent to "I, me") that speakers can use to express their gender. Sailor Uranus uses the informal masculine first-person pronoun "boku" for herself. She alternates between feminine attire (including a uniform with a skirt) and dressing in such a masculine way that other characters think she is a man, so she is gender nonconforming. Because all Senshi are women, she is necessarily a woman, at least in some way. However, some dialog in the canon talks about Haruka's gender, and fans disagree on how to interpret these remarks. In the manga, Sailor Neptune tells Sailor Moon, “Uranus is both a man and a woman. A soldier of both genders, with strengths and personalities of each.” This line also appears in the animated adaptation, in Sailor Moon Crystal. In the manga, when Sailor Moon (in her alter ego as Usagi) directly asks Haruka if she is a man or a woman, Haruka responds, “A man or a woman… is it that important?” (Or, depending on the translation: "Man, woman... why should something like that matter?")<ref>SailorSoapbox, "Setting The Record Straight: Haruka’s Gender & The Prince Uranus 'Scandal'." ''The Art of (Overanalyzing) Animation'' (blog). January 29, 2014. https://overanalyzinganimation.wordpress.com/2014/01/29/setting-the-record-straight-harukas-gender-identity-the-prince-uranus-scandal [https://web.archive.org/web/20230629040244/https://overanalyzinganimation.wordpress.com/2014/01/29/setting-the-record-straight-harukas-gender-identity-the-prince-uranus-scandal/ Archived] on 17 July 2023</ref> Fans have variously interpreted these remarks in the canon as meaning that Haruka is a butch lesbian woman who is in touch with her masculine side, and/or physically intersex, and/or that her gender identity is not strictly male or female. This is with the understanding that in the 1990s in Japan, we did not have the widely-known familiarity with or terms for nonbinary identities that we have today, but people with nonbinary identities did exist in that time and place. The characters in Sailor Moon are all based around astrological symbolism, so it's relevant that Uranus is a planet associated with gender nonconformity and same-gender attraction. These associations with the planet Uranus in astrology are so widely known that in the 1870s, one of the first movements for LGBT rights referred to themselves as [[history of nonbinary gender#1870s|Uranians]].

==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 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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.

* In ''Final Fantasy VI'', the optional character Gogo's gender is never revealed. The description given of the character says, "Is this a man? A woman? Or should we ask?"

===2005===
* In ''Harvest Moon: Magical Melody'', Jamie, your antagonist, is depicted as neither male or female, and the only thing that alludes to their gender is what happens when you marry them. If you play a female character and marry them, they will wear a tuxedo at the ceremony, but if you play a male character and marry them, they will wear a wedding dress. Their pronouns are not stated.

===2009===
* In ''[http://fallenlondon.storynexus.com/ Fallen London]'', you can choose to play as "a lady," "a gentleman," or a character whose gender isn't specified. There are multiple smaller characters that are genderless, including party members (the Irrepressible Cannoneer) as well as regular NPCs (the Alarming Scholar and Isery). This is also true of ''[http://www.failbettergames.com/sunless/ Sunless Sea]'', which is set in the same universe.

===2012===
* 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.

===2014===
*In the action/puzzle/driving game ''Roundabout'', the protagonist Georgio Manos has no specified gender. No pronouns are ever used to refer to Georgio. The name "Georgio" is masculine but Georgio is played by a woman. The developers have stated that they purposely left out any reference to Georgio's gender because they thought it was unimportant to the mechanics of the game.<ref>{{cite web |date=2015 |url=https://steamcommunity.com/app/303430/discussions/0/622954023420998077/ |title=Georgio gay? |quote=The developers, in a recent livestream of the game, have made mention to the fact that Georgio has no gender specified in the game.

Video games with nonbinary player character options

Rafa H.(Any pronouns): Added a new visual novel to the 2016 videogames list

{{content warning|transphobic violence, gender dysphoria}}
In most video games, the player's character either has a preselected binary gender, or can be set as only male or female. This page will list games that meet at least one of the following criteria:
* allow the player to create their character as specifically nonbinary (often by selecting an option for [[singular they]] pronouns/entering custom pronouns) or
* have a player character creation process with no reference to gender at all.

So, the player characters in games on this page are not ''canonically'' nonbinary, but they can be nonbinary based on how one plays.
For characters that ''canonically'' have a gender outside the male-or-female binary, see [[Nonbinary gender in fiction#Video games]].

(Games are listed chronologically by year of first release, or by the year that a nonbinary player character option was introduced, whichever is later.)

*''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.

Video games with nonbinary player character options

Rafa H.(Any pronouns): Added new information about a dating sim that allows you to pick between the pronouns He,She and They.

{{content warning|transphobic violence, gender dysphoria}}
In most video games, the player's character either has a preselected binary gender, or can be set as only male or female. This page will list games that meet at least one of the following criteria:
* allow the player to create their character as specifically nonbinary (often by selecting an option for [[singular they]] pronouns/entering custom pronouns) or
* have a player character creation process with no reference to gender at all.

So, the player characters in games on this page are not ''canonically'' nonbinary, but they can be nonbinary based on how one plays.
For characters that ''canonically'' have a gender outside the male-or-female binary, see [[Nonbinary gender in fiction#Video games]].

(Games are listed chronologically by year of first release, or by the year that a nonbinary player character option was introduced, whichever is later.)

*''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.

* In the adventure game ''South Park: The Fractured But Whole'', the player character is asked by Mr. Mackey if they identify as male, female, or "other". If you select "other" then Mr. Mackey calls the character's parents and reports "Your child just let me know that he, er, they identify as being [[gender neutral]]. [...] It's fine, it's just everyone was under the impression that they were a boy." After hanging up the phone, Mr. Mackey says, "This is a shocker, New Kid, but there's nothing wrong with not identifying as a binary gender. You can be whatever sex you want, OK, even if it's none. That's fine!" After leaving Mr. Mackey's office, a group of "rednecks" in a pickup truck drive up and say, "Well, well, well, if it ain't one of them gender neutrals? We don't take kindly to your types around here. Let's welcome this thing to our town," and a battle commences.

Muxe

Rafa H.(Any pronouns): Added Archived URL's

'''Muxe''' or '''Muxhe''' is an identity in the Zapotec culture recognized as a [[Third gender]]. Muxes are Individuals Assigned Male at Birth (AMAB) who generally adopt feminine aspects and specific roles within Zapotec culture as a third gender. Not to be confused with [[ Muxeidad]] , while both terms relate to gender roles in Mexican culture, "Muxeidad" refers to the cultural context and state of being that defines a person's identity and experience within Zapotec society, whereas "Muxe" refers to the individual with that identity.

'''Muxe''' or '''Muxhe''' is an identity in the Zapotec culture recognized as a [[Third gender]]. Muxes are Individuals Assigned Male at Birth (AMAB) who generally adopt feminine aspects and specific roles within Zapotec culture as a third gender. Not to be confused with [[ Muxeidad]] , while both terms relate to gender roles in Mexican culture, "Muxeidad" refers to the cultural context and state of being that defines a person's identity and experience within Zapotec society, whereas "Muxe" refers to the individual with that identity.

Muxeidad

2025-05-11T22:43:28Z

Rafa H.(Any pronouns): Created a new page Related to Muxeidads

Muxeidad is the term to refer to the cultural context and the state of being that defines a person's identity and experience within Zapotec society. The term originates from the region of Oaxaca in Mexico.
===Gender Identity===
In Zapotec culture, a gender identity recognized under the term "Muxeidad" is "[[Muxe]]", a third gender that is recognized within their culture with specific nuances that differ from a Western definition of "[[Nonbinary]]".
===Social Role===
Rather than an identity that is in opposition to the [[gender binary]], Muxes occupy a distinct role within their society. Their society is matrifocal, and women have valuable roles. For instance, women control the economy, as many women are at once matriarchs, artisans, and merchants. Muxes participate in these feminine spheres of their society, such as artisan work and household maintenance etc. While men and women often leave their parents' household to get married, Muxes usually live in their parents' household to take care of their aging parents.

Travesti

2025-05-01T21:08:20Z

Rafa H.(Any pronouns): Added a new page to the nonbinary wiki

Travesti is a Latin American feminine gender identity that fits under the [[Transfeminine|transfem]] umbrella term because it is related to femininity. The term was previously used in social contexts to refer to prostitution, Criminality and marginality, but it has been historically reinterpreted by the trans and travesti communities. A Travesti is a person who was assigned masculine characteristics at birth but rejected the masculinity assigned to them by society due to an incongruence between their sense of self and the imposed gender norms. Every travesti is a trans woman, but not every trans woman is a travesti. This may be because the term does not align with their personal life experiences, or they do not feel connected to the historical context of the term and, therefore, prefer the term "Mulher Transgênero"(Transgender woman in Portuguese) or "Mulher Trans"(Short term for "Mulher Transgênero") because it aligns more with their own individual experiences and preferences.
In Brazil, being a travesti can vary from being a trans woman to a different concept of gender. For a long time, people believed that a travesti was a "man" who felt like a woman but still felt pleasure with "his" member, which is untrue for many cases. In some cases, it can be used to refer to drag queens. Mulher Pepita, a travesti, claims that she always knew she was a travesti and that it is different from being a trans woman. In general, it falls under the binary trans woman and transfem umbrella. <ref name="General info">{{Cite web|title=General Travesti information Cite|url=https://transcendemos.com.br/transcendemosexplica/trans/#:~:text=Travesti%20%C3%A9%20uma%20pessoa%20que,a%20ter%20mais%20peso%20pol%C3%ADtico.|access-date=1 May 2025|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250501193951/https://transcendemos.com.br/transcendemosexplica/trans/|archive-date=1 May 2025}}</ref>

Video games with nonbinary player character options

2025-04-26T21:49:04Z

Rafa H.(Any pronouns): Added more content and updated the list

{{content warning|transphobic violence, gender dysphoria}}
In most video games, the player's character either has a preselected binary gender, or can be set as only male or female. This page will list games that meet at least one of the following criteria:
* allow the player to create their character as specifically nonbinary (often by selecting an option for [[singular they]] pronouns/entering custom pronouns) or
* have a player character creation process with no reference to gender at all.

So, the player characters in games on this page are not ''canonically'' nonbinary, but they can be nonbinary based on how one plays.
For characters that ''canonically'' have a gender outside the male-or-female binary, see [[Nonbinary gender in fiction#Video games]].

(Games are listed chronologically by year of first release, or by the year that a nonbinary player character option was introduced, whichever is later.)

===2015===
*''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.

Video games with nonbinary player character options

2025-04-26T21:44:38Z

Rafa H.(Any pronouns): /* 2023 */Updated the Page by adding a released game that was in the "Unreleased" Games page before

{{content warning|transphobic violence, gender dysphoria}}
In most video games, the player's character either has a preselected binary gender, or can be set as only male or female. This page will list games that meet at least one of the following criteria:
* allow the player to create their character as specifically nonbinary (often by selecting an option for [[singular they]] pronouns/entering custom pronouns) or
* have a player character creation process with no reference to gender at all.

So, the player characters in games on this page are not ''canonically'' nonbinary, but they can be nonbinary based on how one plays.
For characters that ''canonically'' have a gender outside the male-or-female binary, see [[Nonbinary gender in fiction#Video games]].

(Games are listed chronologically by year of first release, or by the year that a nonbinary player character option was introduced, whichever is later.)

*''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.

*In the fantasy role-playing game ''Baldur's Gate 3'', the player character's identity can be set as "Male", "Female", or "Non-Binary/Other". The "Identity" selection is not at all linked to the selection for body type or voice.
*Similar to the ''Animal Crossing: New Horizons'' example above, ''Splatoon 3'' has the players select their avatars' "style" (encompassing both gender and species). Haircuts and pants, which previously were gender-restricted, are now unisex, and most pieces of equipment whose appearance differed based on the character's gender have been split into separate pieces wearable regardless of "style". Gendered titles used in previous games have also been revised to be gender-neutral, such as "Splatfest Ruler" in place of "Splatfest King/Queen".<ref>{{Cite web |title=Splatoon 3 - Announcement Trailer - Nintendo Switch |author=Nintendo |work=YouTube |access-date=22 October 2021 |url= https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUYDXVDLmns|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230628053226/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUYDXVDLmns |archive-date=17 July 2023 }}</ref><ref>https://splatoonwiki.org/wiki/Player_customization [https://web.archive.org/web/20230501222323/https://splatoonwiki.org/wiki/Player_customization Archived] on 17 July 2023</ref>
*Fighting game ''Street Fighter 6'' has the player create an avatar for use in the single-player World Tour mode as well as the multiplayer Battle Hub. Character creation allows choices between "male" and "female" body types, and, separately, "male", "female", or "human" gender identity. Selecting "human" results in the avatar being referred to with they/them pronouns. All of the options for the avatar's voice are available to avatars of either body type, and all clothing can be equipped regardless of body type and gender. The player can change their avatar's appearance and pronouns at will by visiting a beauty salon in World Tour.
*In the science fiction role-playing game ''Starfield,'' the player can choose which pronouns to use from "He/Him", "She/Her", and "They/Them".

The player character can choose between two body types (1 and 2) regardless of pronouns, as well as two different walking animations, and all character creation options are available for both body types. Players can visit "Enhance" clinics in-game, where they can change the player character's appearance, name, and pronouns. <ref>{{Cite news|last=Game8|first=Starfield Walkthrough Team|url=https://game8.co/games/Starfield/archives/423228|title=How to Change and Select Pronouns|date=09/05/2023|work=Starfield|access-date=9/14/2023|url-status=live}}</ref>

Video games with nonbinary player character options

Rafa H.(Any pronouns): /* 2021 */Added more content about a inclusive update in a roblox game

{{content warning|transphobic violence, gender dysphoria}}
In most video games, the player's character either has a preselected binary gender, or can be set as only male or female. This page will list games that meet at least one of the following criteria:
* allow the player to create their character as specifically nonbinary (often by selecting an option for [[singular they]] pronouns/entering custom pronouns) or
* have a player character creation process with no reference to gender at all.

So, the player characters in games on this page are not ''canonically'' nonbinary, but they can be nonbinary based on how one plays.
For characters that ''canonically'' have a gender outside the male-or-female binary, see [[Nonbinary gender in fiction#Video games]].

(Games are listed chronologically by year of first release, or by the year that a nonbinary player character option was introduced, whichever is later.)

===2015===
*''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.

After hanging up the phone, Mr. Mackey says, "This is a shocker, New Kid, but there's nothing wrong with not identifying as a binary gender. You can be whatever sex you want, OK, even if it's none. That's fine!" After leaving Mr. Mackey's office, a group of "rednecks" in a pickup truck drive up and say, "Well, well, well, if it ain't one of them gender neutrals?

Selecting "human" results in the avatar being referred to with they/them pronouns.

The player can change their avatar's appearance and pronouns at will by visiting a beauty salon in World Tour.

Players can visit "Enhance" clinics in-game, where they can change the player character's appearance, name, and pronouns. <ref>{{Cite news|last=Game8|first=Starfield Walkthrough Team|url=https://game8.co/games/Starfield/archives/423228|title=How to Change and Select Pronouns|date=09/05/2023|work=Starfield|access-date=9/14/2023|url-status=live}}</ref>
