Society uses the [[gender binary]] system of categorizing all people into only one of the binary genders: [[female]] (woman) and [[male]] (man). The gender binary system is coercive and limiting, but the binary genders themselves are valid identities.

[[Nonbinary gender]] is any gender that exists outside of the gender binary. That is, any gender not described by just "male" or "female". Even in societies that recognize only two genders, there are still people who find that they don't fit into those two. Despite the lack of recognition of nonbinary genders in [[binarism|binarist]] society, nonbinary genders are still valid identities.
