Talk:Nonbinary gender in fiction

Is this a typo? SnaiLords
...
 * Tapastic webcomics
 * Snailed It by SnaiLords, who "identifies with both genders" and described themselves as an "andogynous snail".

It's hard to tell because the title has a typo in it by design! Does anyone who knows the source material know if the description should say "androgynous" or "andogynous" snail? -- Cassolotl   (talk) pronouns: they/them  09:28, 7 February 2019 (UTC)
 * SnaiLords' profile says that he identifies as androgynous, at the bottom (almost) of his bio. Thanks for pointing it out! --Ondo (talk) 18:41, 7 February 2019 (UTC)

People to add to the TV section
I'm too sleepy to do it but maybe someone else is more awake?


 * Taylor Mason, Billions, played by Asia Kate Dillon who is also nonbinary, they/them pronouns - Done! -- Cassolotl   (talk) pronouns: they/them  10:17, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Syd, One Day at a Time, they/them pronouns
 * Yael, Degrassi https://www.vulture.com/2017/07/degrassi-next-class-yael-gender-fluid-character.html
 * Susie, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, https://www.teenvogue.com/story/lachlan-watson-susie-putnam-chilling-adventures-of-sabrina called "she" throughout but with a babytrans plot going on, apparently they are still in the self-discovery phase

Title change
I changed the title of this article from "fictional depictions of nonbinary gender" to "nonbinary gender in fiction." The new title is more appropriately worded, because fictional depictions would imply something that is itself fictional and nonexistent, rather than just something that is in a work of fiction. For example, the difference between the fictional book The Neverending Story (which is a supernatural artifact that doesn't exist in real life, and wasn't written by any one human being) that is described within the fiction book The Neverending Story (which is an ordinary book that can be found in any library, written by Michael Ende). Plus, the old article title was more wordy than it needed to be. -Sekhet (talk) 14:55, 22 May 2019 (UTC)

The Good Place & Years and Years
Any reason Janet from The Good Place is not mentioned?

Also, maybe Lincoln Lyons from Years and Years? ("Are we calling that a t-shirt or are we calling that a dress?""I don’t think it matters.""No. He looks beautiful.")
 * Hi! No, there is no reason in particular. We are a wiki, which means that we are permanently under construction! If you want to see them added, the quickest way is to add them yourself. Editing a page is easy —you just did by leaving this message! Don't worry about breaking something, we check all changes and if something back happens we can go back to a previous version of the page. Thank you! :) --Ondo (talk) 18:32, 14 July 2019 (UTC)

I would add Janet, Janet is nonhuman and thus might fall under "fictional sexes" but I'm not totally sure.--TXJ (talk) 00:00, 22 March 2020 (UTC)

Splitting the page?
This page with all its sections and subsections is getting a bit unwieldy. I see somehow we have Undisclosed gender in fiction as a separate page which seems good to me as that's very clearly a different topic from nonbinary genders. But the Undisclosed Gender section is still also on this page? --TXJ (talk) 00:06, 22 March 2020 (UTC)
 * good catch. I think you can go ahead and delete that section from this page as duplicate content; Undisclosed gender in fiction is already in the See also section, so it shouldn't be accessible enough. --Ondo (talk) 11:33, 22 March 2020 (UTC)

More organization
I wish this section, and others like it, were more organized. Right now it's fine, but in the future as more things get added I would want to be able to search for specific things. Like, maybe I wanted to only read fiction written by non-binary people with non-binary characters (#ownvoices and all that). This list would make it difficult to search for this. Or, maybe I'm only interested in romance stories featuring non-binary characters. etc. etc.

Would you guys be interested in making this section into a table, which could be searched more easily? This is kind of a long list, and we might want to shave it down to make it easy. All the sections would be optional to fill in of course, but then others could later fill it in to make it more complete. I wouldn't mind helping to set it up, but only if everyone is okay with it.

Let me know what you think <3

Examples of categories:

- Author(s), and their genders if known (would make it easy to compare how enbies are written by different genders) and would make it easy for people to read own voices if they wanted to. - Published date or starting date for ongoing series - Title - Publishing company (make it easier for enbies to find enby friendly publishers) - Genre(s) - Content Warnings (if a particular work has content some people would want to avoid like sexual assault, making it so it's easy to avoid wouldn't hurt. Also good for seeing what type of content is being made with enby characters. For example, fridging can often be used with women and someone could see if enbies go through something similar, etc etc. - which character is canonically nonbinary. maybe even stating if they are a protagonist or a side character.
