{{quote|There is a perception that nonbinary is also a binary. Criticism from the queer community also flows in occasionally because a lot of people don’t understand that the very point of being nonbinary is not belonging to a binary.<ref name="Lochan" />}} | {{quote|There is a perception that nonbinary is also a binary.
