==Family and relationship words==
==Family and relationship words==


Some nonbinary people don't feel right about being called words that give an idea of being female or male. Many words for family titles and relationships do: mother, brother, husband, girlfriend, and so on. Nonbinary people who prefer to be called by gender-neutral words can ask to be instead called parent, sibling, spouse, datemate, and so on. See the page [[Gender neutral language in English#Family and relationship words]] for a long list. This includes some new words that are not just gender-neutral, but specifically [[genderqueer]], for nonbinary people only.

In the Journal of Genetic Counseling in 2020, a group of scientists proposed a downward-pointing equilateral triangle to be the pedigree symbol for a nonbinary or [[gender questioning]] person, with additional markings to indicate [[assigned sex]].<ref>{{cite journal|author=Tuite et al.|title=Beyond circles and squares: A commentary on updating pedigree nomenclature to better represent patient diversity|year=2020|doi=10.1002/jgc4.1234|journal=Journal of Genetic Counseling}}</ref>

==Marriage==
Nonbinary people who have a [[legal gender]] of "X" (or something else besides M or F) may face barriers to marriage, especially in places that define marriage as "between a man and a woman", as happened in Australia for intersex nonbinary person [[Tony Briffa]]. Additionally, some jurisdictions offer M and F as the only options on applications for marriage, requiring nonbinary people to misgender themselves even if they have other documents recognizing their nonbinary gender.<ref name="Sosin">{{Cite web |title=Can You Actually Get Married With a Non-Binary ID? |last=Sosin |first=Kate |work=NewNowNext |date=4 August 2019 |access-date=12 November 2020 |url= http://www.newnownext.com/non-binary-id-married/04/2019/}}</ref>
