:Despite its age, this is still the most prominent prime time coverage of nonbinary gender on British television. The gender specialist psychologists interviewed, including [[Russell Reid]], are extremely hostile to nonbinary gender. The information and attitudes presented and the terminology used are now dated.

======More US teens are rejecting 'boy' or 'girl' gender identities, a study finds======

:Mercedes Leguizamon and Brandon Griggs
;Extract
:More teenagers are identifying themselves with nontraditional gender labels such as [[transgender]] or [[gender-fluid]], according to a new study.
:The research, published Monday in the journal Pediatrics, found that almost 3% of Minnesota teens did not identify with traditional gender labels such as "boy" or "girl."

======Nonbinary Teenagers Are Finding a New Fit======
An article about young nonbinary people and [[androgynous]] [[Clothing|fashion]].
;Author
:Hayley Krischer
;Extract
:One photograph that sums up the nonbinary youth movement can be found on the Instagram account of [[Lachlan Watson]], an 18-year-old actor who stars in ''Chilling Adventures of Sabrina'' and who, in the photo wears a John Lennon- and Yoko Ono-inspired T-shirt that reads: "Gender is over. If you want it."
:Billie Eilish, the 17-year-old whose music has been streamed more than a billion times, is a current focus of the teenage gaze. Ms. Eilish is the anti-Britney Spears, the anti-Katy Perry. (Though, in a 2017 Vogue article, even Ms. Perry announced wanting to transcend "cutesy" and that she was going for more "androgynous, architectural" looks.) Ms. Eilish calls gender roles "ancient."
:She is known for wearing baggy, oversize clothing and on the red carpet wears gigantic jackets and big furry pants. Onstage, Ms. Eilish is often seen wearing hoodies, large athletic-looking shorts and tube socks. [...] For nonbinary teenagers, Ms. Eilish is a revelation. Zai Nixon-Reid, 19, a student at the New School, who is [[female-aligned]] nonbinary and goes by the pronouns they/them, says people often compared their style to Ms. Eilish's androgynous look.
:"It's definitely why I like her, because everything she wears is really oversized and that's kind of how I wish my closet was," they said. To scroll through Mx. Nixon-Reid's Instagram is to see a style that consists of oversize buttoned shirts and chains, but also suits and scarves and fedora hats.
:Expressing themselves through fashion is something new for Mx. Nixon-Reid. It wasn't always easy. Their mother is hyper-feminine, so most of their childhood clothes had been traditionally female.
:"These days, sort of at the end of 2018, I've been able to explore gender through fashion and it's helped me understand my own gender through clothes," they said.
:The moment now is that mall fixtures like H & M carry unisex lines, but gender nonconforming youth are still at high risk for bullying and suicide, in both in cosmopolitan areas and, especially, outside of them. In other words, a goth androgynous person may appear, as the kids say, dope, in Brooklyn, but could easily be a target somewhere else.

======From butch to boy: Welcome to the genderqueer life======
*Archived at https://archive.org/details/BayGuardianbrug35-38/page/26/mode/2up
;Description
:The author, Kassy, ruminates on their own gender journey and gives an overview of the trans community. Kassy ends the piece with "I'm no lady, but I'm not a man either."
;Author
:Kassy Kayiatos
;Extract
:A transgendered person might be genderqueer, meaning that his/her gender is nontraditional in some way: s/he might feel at one with both genders, or s/he might be in the process of moving from one gender to the other. Hence, traditional words such as 'transsexual' and 'transvestite' are being supplemented with more ambiguous phrases like 'trannyfag' or 'girlboy' or 'intersexed' (which refers to both a medical condition in which a person is born with ambiguous genitals and a state of mind in which the person feels like both genders).

======Paige's Story======
* https://www.npr.org/2015/02/06/384104070/paiges-story
;Description
:Audio (with text transcription) about a [[bigender]] person named Paige Abendroth who "flips" between being male and female.
;Author
:Alix Spiegel
;Extract
:ABENDROTH: Like my biggest worry is that I'm never going to really fit in to, like, female spaces or male spaces. I'm afraid that I'm going to be living the rest of my life in some kind of weird gender twilight zone.
:SPIEGEL: And what will you do then?
:ABENDROTH: I don't know. I'll keep on doing my best.
;Notes
:Some ableist/invalidating bits, e.g. some researchers that Spiegel talked to are reported as saying "These people are just psychotic." However a different researcher does clarify that nonbinary identities, like Paige's, are not mental illness.
:Some discussion of dysphoria, e.g. Paige says, "Imagine you woke up and your body was a cockroach. It was really unsettling." and there is a mention of Paige vomiting from severe dysphoria.

======My Nonbinary Child======
* https://www.sapiens.org/biology/nonbinary/
;Description
:The author, a biological anthropologist, talks about her child coming out as [[femme]] and [[agender]]. Very supportive.
;Author
:Barbara J. King
;Extract
<blockquote>Certainly, I make mistakes myself when I speak about or to Sarah, more often than I ever thought I would. Those 26 years of habit don’t break easily; [[pronoun]] use is a “very deeply seated feature of language,” according to linguist John McWhorter. My husband and I have set up a system to help each other. When one of us is talking to or about Sarah and accidentally misgenders them, the other raises a hand high in the air. Less harsh than a verbal interruption, this signal works well to keep us focused and on track.
In 2020, intolerance and violence seem to have increased across much of the world, including against trans and nonbinary people. We can and must create a world where queer rights, including nonbinary rights, are human rights. I believe that coming to know the lived experiences of queer and nonbinary folks can help.
Sarah is a young adult making their way forward in the world as an agender person. I am thankful for their permission to tell a part of their story here. As I think how best to end this essay, I am filled with one upwelling sensation. I am proud to be the mom of a wonderful person—one who works tirelessly for social justice, and who lives as neither a woman nor a man. To love them as they are is a gift of my life.</blockquote>

:Emphasizes that it’s not only college students, but also faculty and staff using neutral pronouns. Has a particularly uncomfortable passage where it seems to be setting nonbinaries in opposition to binary trans people: “But as fewer young people choose to undergo sex reassignment surgery, such students [binary trans students who are attributed with starting the campus inclusion movement] are slowly being outnumbered by peers who refuse to be limited”. Overall positive portrayal of the issue with relatively little space given to the “controversy” of non-binary identities and pronoun preferences. If anything, doesn’t give enough recognition to binary trans identities as opposed to non-binary.

======Not Male Or Female: Molding Bodies To Fit A Genderfluid Identity======
*https://www.wbur.org/commonhealth/2015/03/23/genderfluid-identity
 
;Author
:Martha Bebinger
 
;Extract
:Both Jones and Jackson are under the care of physicians who are helping them pursue a more [[gender neutral]] body. But there are no guidelines. So far, in the emerging world of transgender medicine, protocols assume that patients want to end up on one end of the spectrum or the other, male or female, says Dr. Tim Cavanaugh, who runs the transgender health program at Fenway Health.
 
:"[The guidelines] really don’t address this idea of [[gender spectrum]] or gender fluidity, but we we see it a lot," Cavanaugh said.
 
:An estimated 100 to 150 of Fenways Health's 1,500 transgender patients are genderfluid. Most of the genderfluid patients are transitioning from [[Transmasculine|female towards male]]. So how do doctors know how much testosterone will produce the effects these patients are looking for?
 
:"To a certain extent we’re making it up, but I’d like to think of it more as finessing the regimens that we have based on the individual person’s desires and needs," Cavanaugh said. "[It's difficult], especially with testosterone. Testosterone is very potent and even when we try to prescribe low doses, every person responds in a different way."
 
;Notes
:Overall the article is positive toward nonbinary people changing their bodies, but has some brief discussion of opposition to medical transition.

Starting of showing the “Call Me Caitlyn” ''Vanity Fair'' cover to illustrate the predominance of transgender people in media, the article continued to make a similar case for people of non-binary gender identities changing their names. Stating that (undefined) sources support that there exists a large number of non-binary people in the Netherlands, the article uses "intersex" as a catch-all term for non-binary gender, going as far as saying that "LGBTI" covers all possible gender identities.
