June featured article

The list of fictional depictions of nonbinary gender is for taking note of all examples of nonbinary gender identity in fiction in any kind of media. The media includes animation, board and card games, books and other literature, comics and graphic novels, movies, performance, TV, webseries, and video games. Since most people don't know that people can have a nonbinary gender identity, the way that nonbinary genders are represented in fiction can be a valuable part of nonbinary visibility and awareness. Fiction can also be an outlet for nonbinary people to explore their identities and the possibilities of society's attitudes toward them. These are reasons why representation matters. It's very rare for fiction to have any real representation of nonbinary gender. It's almost as rare for characters to have an undisclosed gender, or to have a fictional sex, which almost but not really counts as nonbinary representation. They're close enough that they are dealt with on this page anyway, since sometimes the distinctions aren't clear.

-'''Androgyne''', or '''androgynous gender''', is an identity under the [[Non-Binary|nonbinary]] and [[transgender]] umbrellas. Androgyne individuals have a [[Gender Identity|gender identity]] and/or [[Gender Expression|gender expression]] that can be a blend of both or neither of the [[Binary Gender|binary genders]]. They may describe this in terms of being between female and male, between man and woman, between masculine and feminine or simply 'in between.' They can also identify as neither feminine or masculine, or neither female and male.
-Some people who use this label identify with [[androgyny]] as a gender presentation or have or wish to obtain an androgynous, 'in between', or neutral body, others see this as solely a matter of gender identity and may express their androgynous gender through their personality or activities such as [[crossdressing]].
