Line 1:

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 ~~poorly-attested~~ nonbinary identities]]''.
