'''Nonbinary erasure,''' or '''non-binary erasure''', refers to the erasure or refusal to acknowledge any genders that do not fit in the [[gender binary]] of man and woman. Erasure can take many forms. For instance, saying "he or she" instead of "they" implies that there are only two acceptable pronouns. Saying "ladies and gentlemen" implies there are only two genders. The erasure of non-binary genders is common in Western society. | '''Nonbinary erasure,''' or '''non-binary erasure''', refers to the erasure or refusal to acknowledge any genders that do not fit in the [[gender binary]] of man and woman.
