There is | There is not one right way to perform a nonbinary gender. Most nonbinary people are primarily motivated to do what feels comfortable and true to themselves, rather than attempting to follow any particular gender role. Whichever way any particular nonbinary person needs or chooses to present, express, or perform their gender is as valid as any other. | ||
Nonbinary people may or may not experience [[gender dysphoria]], or may experience only bodily or social dysphoria. Some nonbinary people choose to [[transition]] by making social and physical changes that suit them better. Other nonbinary people do not make life changes that they see as part of the transition narrative. Some feel that there is no social role or body to "transition" to, and so simply focus on being themselves. Some nonbinary people choose or need to present an [[Androgyny|androgynous]] or [[gender neutral]] gender expression, and others do not. Some nonbinary people wear [[clothing]] that could be seen as [[crossdressing]], and some nonbinary people do not. Some nonbinary people prefer to be referred to using [[gender neutral language]], [[gender neutral titles|titles]], and [[pronouns]]. Other nonbinary people are comfortable with being called by gendered language. | Nonbinary people may or may not experience [[gender dysphoria]], or may experience only bodily or social dysphoria.
