List of nonbinary identities: Difference between revisions

This alphabetical list of some of the '''more common nonbinary identities''' lists many [[gender identity|gender identities]] that are [[nonbinary]]. That is, those other than just [[female]] and [[male]] identities, 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 identities have been used in writing for thousands of years. Meanwhile, some of these words were created more recently. 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 uncommon nonbinary identities]]''.
