==Australia==
====Australian Nonbinary Community====
* '''Description:''' This group is a safe space for any person who does not 100% identify with a binary gender and/or is questioning their gender (and it's okay if you eventually decide this isn't for you too!) The group does not permit parents/family of nonbinary children, only the individuals themselves. This is also an Australia-specific group, with the intention to meet and talk with other nonbinary people with the same environmental contexts. We hope this helps to begin meetups, grow a sense of community and support each other in navigating Australia-specific issues as nonbinary people.
* '''Town/city:''' Inclusive of anyone who resides in Australia or is an Australian resident temporarily residing overseas.
