Nonbinary erasure is the name for a form of discrimination against [[nonbinary]] gender people. Nonbinary erasure is the common but wrong idea that there are only two genders, female and male (the [[binary genders]]). This is a form of [[sexism]] that is harmful to people with non-binary gender identities, because it makes it more difficult for them to get [[recognition|recognized]] as nonbinary. Nonbinary erasure says that only two genders are real, so when non-binary people say they have other genders, other people think they are pretending, joking, or mistaken. Nonbinary erasure makes it difficult for them to imagine what genders other than female or male could be like at all. One specific kind of nonbinary erasure is called binarism, meaning white colonialist discrimination against nonbinary gender roles in minority cultures and ethnic groups. | Nonbinary erasure is the name for a form of discrimination against [[nonbinary]] gender people.
