View source for List of uncommon nonbinary identities

{{incomplete}} 
{{Content warning|reclaimed slurs}}This '''list of uncommon nonbinary identities''' contains gender identities that have less record of their use, according to community census results and historical information, or sometimes no record at all, beyond their coinage and inclusion in glossaries. This does not mean that the identity is not valid, but that not many people have decided to use it ([[Nonbinary_Wiki: Uncommon identities|More information...]]). See also the [[list of nonbinary identities]] for more common ones.

In order to keep the wiki accurate to the lived experiences of nonbinary people, identities should only be listed here if they cite from at least two separate external sources, showing both:

1. origin (such as a source about how the term was coined, or at least history of the term's use), and 

2. evidence that the identity has actually been used as someone's own identity. Acceptable evidence includes presence in at least one Gender Census result, a news article, or published nonfiction book describing an actual person using it. 

A design for a pride flag does not count toward origin or evidence of use. A personal blog does not count toward evidence of use. A source citation of a web page counts if it is either a live link, or an archive of a dead link, but dead links by themselves are not acceptable.

===Eunuch===

* '''Name(s):''' [[eunuch]]

* '''Origin:'''  According to the Online Etymology Dictionary, this very old word has been in English since the late 14th century.

''Online Etymology Dictionary.'' https://www.etymonline.com/word/eunuch</ref>

* '''Meaning:''' A person who was assigned male at birth, and had some or all of their genitals removed. Historically, there have been many people who had this done to them without their consent. However, there have also been many people who voluntarily and intentionally sought out this procedure, specifically in order to relieve their discomfort with having those genitals, or to stop other physical characteristics that are the result of masculinization from having testicles, such as body hair or a low voice. Some transgender people think of themselves as eunuchs. Many eunuchs have considered themselves to be men. However, many other eunuchs have thought of their status as a eunuch as a gender identity outside of the binary. This has been the case with eunuchs historically, in many different cultures, and today.<ref>"Eunuch." Susan's Place Transgender Resource Wiki."

Instead of ''male-aligned'' and ''female-aligned'', it uses concepts that are not related to the binarist system, such as the sun, the moon and the stars. It's worth noting that these words were not coined to describe genders, but a relation towards a binary gender - an alignment. For instance, an agender person may identify as lunarian because they have experiences in common with women, despite not being a woman themself.<ref name="vergess describing alignment" />

{{quote|Lately I’ve experiencing a new gender that isn’t male or female! I don’t believe it is [[agender]], since it certainly is a gender! It’s like, very neutral on the “spectrum” of gender, but I don’t feel like it’s [[androgyny]] either. 
The reason I call it star gender is uh, because when I was mulling on it one day I somehow started thinking about alien/nonhuman genders and how it was really unknown to people currently, and I ended up reasoning maybe it was the same genders stars could experience? (sorry that sounds super silly uh)

I don’t believe it’s androgyny because it??? doesn’t really feel like a middle between masculine and feminine?? like it seems??? Beyond That? Like it is potentially neutral but encompassing both masculine and feminine at the same time, if that makes any sense?<ref>{{cite web|archive-url=https://archive.vn/UHMMQ|title=A Post About Star Gender!|url=http://nbqt.tumblr.com/post/74798543114/a-post-about-star-gender-more-uh-i-guess-i|date=27 January 2014|archive-date=6 May 2014}}</ref>}}
