'''Coming out''' is a phrase common in the [[LGBT]] community that means "to recognise one's [[sexual orientation]], [[gender identity]], or sex identity, and to [become] open about it with oneself and with others."<ref>"LGBT resources: Definition of terms." [http://geneq.berkeley.edu/lgbt_resources_definiton_of_terms]</ref> People with [[nonbinary]] gender identities have to come out if they are to be [[recognition|recognised]] as nonbinary. This is because in cultures that recognise only the [[gender binary]], nonbinary people have to proactively identify themselves. There are some particular needs that are unique to the situation of coming out as nonbinary. For example, the average person has an idea of what [[lesbian|lesbians]] are. However, a person may not know what nonbinary people are, nor have context for them existing in real life. Anyone who comes out as nonbinary needs to be prepared to explain what nonbinary gender is, and be prepared for the possibility that others might not accept it as a real gender identity. | '''Coming out''' is a phrase common in the [[LGBT]] community that means "to recognise one's [[sexual orientation]], [[gender identity]], or sex identity, and to [become] open about it with oneself and with others."<ref>"LGBT resources: Definition of terms."
