This alphabetical list of some of the '''more common nonbinary identities''' gives names of many kinds of [[gender identity|gender identities]] that are [[nonbinary]]. That is, those other than just [[female]] and [[male]], which are the [[binary gender]]s. This list gives names for nonbinary identities in English-speaking cultures, as well as [[gender-variant identities worldwide|those that are part of other cultures]]. (For the latter, please never use a word for your gender that belongs only to a culture or ethnic group that is not yours.) Some of these words for nonbinary genders have been used in writing for thousands of years. Meanwhile, some of these words were created last year. This page lists fewer of the older gender-variant identities than the new ones, because it can be harder to say whether it's accurate to put those in the category of "nonbinary." | This alphabetical list of some of the '''more common nonbinary identities''' gives names of many kinds of [[gender identity|gender identities]] that are [[nonbinary]].

* '''[[gallae]]'''. Originating in Turkey, and spreading to Europe, many of the ancient priestesses of the goddess Cybele were Gallae. The Gallae were eunuchs who were analogous to [[transgender women]]. Some see them as a nonbinary gender role. Today, some worshipers of Cybele call themselves Gallae.

* '''[[genderflux]]'''.<ref name="NBGQ2016"></ref> Coined by deergoths in 2014. "Genderflux means that your internal sense of how gendered you are varies over time. One day, you might feel really gendered, and the next day, you might have a very weak feeling of gender, or not feel like any gender at all. Whereas genderfluidity is a shift between different genders, genderflux is more like varying intensity." A gender identity that often changes in intensity, so that a person may feel one day as though they have almost no gender, or none at all, and another day they feel very gendered. | * '''[[genderflux]]'''.<ref name="NBGQ2016"></ref> Coined by deergoths in 2014.
