Welcome to the Nonbinary wiki

The wiki dedicated to the promotion of nonbinary gender identities
About

Nonbinary wiki was created on the 1st of February 2017, after the original Nonbinary.org Wiki went down. Luckily, the Wayback Machine has a copy of it. Our goal is to build a new wiki with the best of the old as well as new and improved content.

Since the day of its creation, 475 users have been working on 942 articles here.

Nonbinary?

Nonbinary is a term that refers to people whose gender is neither male nor female. Their gender can be neither, both, a third one or it can also change over time. Non-binary people fall under the transgender umbrella term, and nonbinary is an umbrella term itself, although some people use it to describe their specific gender identity too.

Featured article

Recognition of non-binary gender identities in law and other paperwork is an important issue confronting modern society. This also deals with policies about transgender people in general and related policies about intersex people. Recognition here means whether an organization acknowledges that such people exist and have valid identities, and the organization does this by routinely giving them a place where they aren't forced into being wrongly categorized as a gender that doesn't match their gender identity. In the case of recognition of nonbinary people, this means the system doesn't force them to wrongly say they are one of the binary genders (female or male). Through networking and activism, people can find out which organisations acknowledge non-binary genders, and can ask for acknowledgement from organisations that still need to do so.
