'''Nonbinary''' (~~often spelled~~ '''~~Non~~-binary''' ~~in British English~~<ref>[http://gendercensus.com/post/173182166480/gender-census-2018-the-spelling-question ~~Gender Census~~ 2018~~: The~~ spelling question]</ref>) is an umbrella term ~~covering any~~ [[gender identity]] or [[Gender ~~expression~~|~~expression~~]] that ~~does~~ not ~~fit within~~ the [[gender binary]]. The ~~label may~~ also be used ~~by individuals wishing to identify~~ as ~~falling outside~~ of the gender ~~binary without being any more specific about~~ the ~~nature~~ of ~~their~~ gender.

'''Nonbinary''' (also hyphenated as '''non-binary''')<ref>"Gender Census 2018 - the spelling question." ''Gender Census.'' April 22, 2018. Retrieved July 10, 2020. http://gendercensus.com/post/173182166480/gender-census-2018-the-spelling-question [https://web.archive.org/web/20221223073715/http://www.gendercensus.com/post/173182166480/gender-census-2018-the-spelling-question Archived] on 17 July 2023</ref> means any [[gender identity]] that is not strictly male or female all the time, and so does not fit within the [[gender binary]]. For some people, "nonbinary" is as specific as they want to get about labeling their gender. For others, they call themselves a more specific gender identity under the nonbinary umbrella. Many people who call themselves nonbinary also consider themselves [[genderqueer]]. However, the terms have different meanings and connotations: genderqueer means any gender identity or [[gender expression|expression]] which is, itself, queer.

Nonbinary falls under the umbrella term of [[transgender]] (meaning a [[gender identity]] different than one's [[sex assigned at birth]]). However, for various reasons, individual nonbinary people may or may not consider themselves transgender.<ref name="Darwin2020">{{cite journal|last1=Darwin|first1=Helana|title=Challenging the Cisgender/Transgender Binary: Nonbinary People and the Transgender Label|journal=Gender & Society|volume=34|issue=3|year=2020|pages=357–380|issn=0891-2432|doi=10.1177/0891243220912256}}</ref>

There are many other historical events about genders outside the binary, which have existed for all of written history, going back to Sumerian and Akkadian tablets from 2nd millennium BCE and 1700 BCE,<ref>Murray, Stephen O., and Roscoe, Will (1997).
