* '''[http://aminoapps.com/p/y8dgsg Nore.]'''Coined by trans non-binary activist Seva Quinn Parra, this word was voted for on an [http://aminoapps.com/ online trans community]. "Nore" is derived from the sentence "I am neither a boy '''nor''' a girl". The word also has letters from the words "'''n'''on-binary" or "'''n'''eutrality", "b'''o'''y", "gi'''r'''l", and "'''e'''nby" which can repqresent non-binary people being a mix of masculine and feminine, both, or neither. The word was made not to replace the popularized word "enby", but to stand by it as a more formal alternative to girl/boy, since "enby" was considered to be too "cute". | |||
