== the book "Ice Song" == | |||
From the book description and reviews of ''Ice Song'' (by Kirsten Imani Kasai), I'm not 100% sure if this would fall under the main nonbinary characters section or the "Fictional sexes" section. It definitely seems to be on more the fantasy side. | |||
{{quote|Sorykah Minuit is a scholar, an engineer, and the sole woman aboard an ice-drilling submarine in the frozen land of the Sigue. What no one knows is that she is also a Trader: one who can switch genders suddenly, a rare corporeal deviance universally met with fascination and superstition and all too often punished by harassment or death. | |||
Sorykah's infant twins, Leander and Ayeda, have inherited their mother's Trader genes. When a wealthy, reclusive madman known as the Collector abducts the babies to use in his dreadful experiments, Sorykah and her male alter-ego, Soryk, must cross icy wastes and a primeval forest to get them back. Complicating the dangerous journey is the fact that Sorykah and Soryk do not share memories: Each disorienting transformation is like awakening with a jolt from a deep and dreamless sleep.}} | |||

:Agreed, this should be in the fictional section. --[[User:Ondo|Ondo]] ([[User talk:Ondo|talk]]) 15:21, 5 April 2021 (UTC) | |||
== Some more books with nonbinary characters == | |||
I just saw this page and wanted to contribute but also this is my first time doing any wiki-editing so uh here's some books | |||
Mask of Shadows (and sequel Ruin of Stars) by Linsey Miller - main character Sal is genderfluid | |||
Pet by Akwaeke Emezi - one of main character's parents uses they/them and neutral language | |||
The Mermaid, the Witch, and the Sea by Maggie Tokuda-Hall - main character Flora/Florian is genderfluid and Pirate Supreme uses they/them | |||
Catfishing on CatNet (and sequel Chaos on CatNet) by Naomi Kritzer - AI CheshireCat uses she/her, he/him, and they/them in different places (different pronouns for multiple online identities) and one of the other characters whose name I forgot was specifically referred to as nonbinary and uses they/them | |||
Can't take that away by Steven Salvatore - main character Carey is genderqueer and switches between pronouns | |||
Ink in the blood by Kim Smejkal - a bunch of nonbinary side characters, also everybody has a magic-glowy-light-thing that is their gender and shows pronouns | |||
The Circus Rose by Betsy Cornwell - love interest is nonbinary, although it's the species, uses fe/fer pronouns | |||
In the Vanisher's Palace by Aliette de Bodard - one of the characters uses they/them | |||
Sorry if it's chaotic, I don't really remember all of the books fully | |||

== What about characters that just use gender neutral pronouns? == | |||
a character in a ''different'' game I like is referred to in canon with [[singular they|they/them pronouns,]] but does not (as far as I know) have any content related to their gender outside of that. Do I still add them to the list in the first section (ik they aren't a fictional biological gender, they ''are'' human) | |||
