The wiki dedicated to the promotion of non-binary gender identities
Non-binary wiki was created in the 1st of February, 2017, after the original Nonbinary.org Wiki went down. Luckily, the Wayback machine had a copy of it. Our current goal is to build a new wiki taking the articles from the old wiki, adding them here and improving them.
Since the day of its creation, 561 users have been working on 951 articles.
Non-binary is a term that refers to those people whose gender is not male nor female. It can be neither, both, a third one or it can also change over time. Non-binary people fall under the transgender umbrella term, and non-binary is an umbrella term itself, although some people use it to describe their gender identity too.
Click on the blue words above or explore the wiki to learn more about non-binary identities!
This site is a wiki, meaning that anybody (including you) can make a contribution to it. You don't even need to create an account, although it's strongly recommended. These are some things you can do to contribute:
- Edit an existing article. Search any page and improve its content! You can also expand a stub.
- Go to the list of wanted pages and create one of them! (You can take as a reference the old Nonbinary.org wiki)
- Spread the word. If you know somebody questioning their gender, tell them about this wiki. If you don't know anybody questioning their gender, tell them anyway!
From ancient history to the present, many cultures around the world that have established gender-variant identities worldwide, some of which are accepted as an essential part of their societies. These are the gender identities and roles that Western anthropologists have called third gender, because they are different than the Western gender binary idea of cisgender, heterosexual, masculine men and feminine women. Identities that have been called "third gender" are often transgender and nonbinary, and the "third gender" label pushes that interpretation. However, many of the identities that anthropologists call third gender are not nonbinary identities. This is part of why "third gender" is a problematic colonialist label. It can also be colonialist and problematic to call these identities by outside labels such as "transgender" and "nonbinary," in cases where the people in question haven't said that they would call themselves by those words.
