There exists a lot of examples to illustrate gender nonconformity, such as: | |||
* A man or an [[Nonbinary|enby]] person with feminine mannerism, who may like stereotypical girl things (Barbie dolls and Littlest Petshops for example) - They are known as femboys or a feminine boy. | |||
* A woman or an [[Nonbinary|enby]] person with manly mannerism, who may like stereotypical boy things (Any sport widely played by boys for example) - They are known as tomboys. | |||
* A man, a woman or an [[Nonbinary|enby]] person enjoying something that would otherwise be seen as weird or unorthodox for most people (Dungeons and Dragons, Linux computers, being apart of the furry fandom, using tiny forums or an unknown social media instead of Twitter, etc) - They are known as nonconformists and they are sometimes refered to as "geeky" or "nerdy". | |||
** Some people who identify as nonconformists may also believe in anti-conformity which is a subset where they will try their best to avoid all trends and avoid anything that is popular. A common buzzword that's thrown at them is "contrarian". Although not always used as a slur, the term is pejorative and should be avoided. | |||
