'''Nonbinary''' (also spelled '''non-binary''')<ref>"Gender Census 2018 - the spelling question." ''Gender Census.'' April 22, 2018.

For some people, "nonbinary" is as specific as they want to get about labeling their gender. For others, they call themselves a more specific gender identity under the nonbinary umbrella. Many people who call themselves nonbinary also consider themselves [[genderqueer]]. However, the terms have different meanings and connotations: genderqueer means any gender identity or [[gender expression|expression]] which is, itself, queer.
<!--T:132-->
Nonbinary falls under the umbrella term of [[transgender]] (meaning a [[gender identity]] different than one's [[sex assigned at birth]]). However, for various reasons, individual nonbinary people may or may not consider themselves transgender.<ref name="Darwin2020">{{cite journal|last1=Darwin|first1=Helana|title=Challenging the Cisgender/Transgender Binary: Nonbinary People and the Transgender Label|journal=Gender & Society|volume=34|issue=3|year=2020|pages=357–380|issn=0891-2432|doi=10.1177/0891243220912256}}</ref>

There are many other historical events about genders outside the binary, which have existed for all of written history, going back to Sumerian and Akkadian tablets from 2nd millennium BCE and 1700 BCE,<ref>Murray, Stephen O., and Roscoe, Will (1997).

The editors of this wiki have not yet found the earliest recorded use of "nonbinary" as a self-identity label. It appears to have been in use during the first decade of the 2000s.

Since 2012, the [[International Nonbinary Day]] has been celebrated each 14th of July, with the aim to celebrate and focus on nonbinary people, their successes and contributions to the world and their issues. Katje of "Fierce Femme's Black Market," the person who proposed it, chose that date because it is exactly between International Men's Day and International Women's Day.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://femmesblackmarket.wordpress.com/2012/03/08/calling-for-an-international-non-binary-gender-day|title=Calling for an International Non-Binary Gender Day|author=Katje|date=8 March 2012|website=Fierce Femme's Black Market|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=30 March 2020}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.gaystarnews.com/article/non-binary-day-allies/#gs.b0zrkg|title=Prepare for International Non-binary Day by learning how to be a better ally|last=Mathers|first=Charlie|date=13 July 2018|website=Gay Star News|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230213102537/https://www.gaystarnews.com/article/non-binary-day-allies/#gs.b0zrkg|archive-date=13 February 2023|dead-url=|access-date=30 March 2020|url-status=dead}}</ref>

In 2013, a user of the social media site Tumblr coined an abbreviation of nonbinary or N.B., "enby."

In 2014, [[Kye Rowan]] designed the nonbinary flag in response to a call put out for a nonbinary flag that was separate from the genderqueer flag, the final design is shown at the top of this article.<ref>"genderweird".  https://web.archive.org/web/20191227195608/https://thejasmineelf.tumblr.com/post/77007286542/after-counting-up-all-the-votes-for-each. 2019-12-27.

Retrieved 2020-11-24.</ref> This flag is meant to "represent nonbinary folk who did not feel that the [[genderqueer flag]] represented them. This flag was intended to go alongside Marilyn Roxie's genderqueer flag rather than replace it. The flag consists of four stripes. From top to bottom: yellow represents those whose gender exists outside of and without reference to the binary as yellow is often used to distinguish something as its own. White represents those who have many or all genders, as white is the photological presence of color and/or light. The purple stripe represents those who feel their gender is between or a mix of female and male as purple is the mix of traditional boy and girl colors. The purple also could be seen as representing the fluidity and uniqueness of nonbinary people. The final black stripe represents those who feel they are without gender, as black is the photological absence of color and/or light." The nonbinary flag and the genderqueer flag are both options for nonbinary people to use to symbolize themselves, and take different approaches to how to symbolize nonbinary genders.

The word ''enby'' (plural ''enbies'', derived from "N.B.," the initialism of "non-binary") is a common noun meaning "nonbinary person." It was coined by Tumblr user vector (revolutionator) in 2013 as the nonbinary common noun equivalent of "boy" or "girl."<ref name="enby cassolotl" /><ref name="enby revolutionator" /><ref name="enby archeart" /> Due to that wording, some nonbinary people question whether it can also be used as a nonbinary common noun equivalent of "man" or "woman." The 2020 Gender Census shows that older nonbinary people less often call themselves enbies.<ref name="GC20-enby">{{Cite web|url=https://gendercensus.com/post/620965788841558016/on-enby-and-age|title=On “enby” and age|last1=Cassolotl|first1=|date=15 June 2020|website=Gender Census|access-date=15 June 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210717090737/https://gendercensus.com/post/620965788841558016/on-enby-and-age|archive-date=17 July 2023}}</ref>

==Nonbinary expression== <!--T:110-->
<!--T:111-->
There is not one right way to perform a nonbinary gender. Most nonbinary people are primarily motivated to do what feels comfortable and true to themselves, rather than attempting to follow any particular gender role. Whichever way any particular nonbinary person needs or chooses to present, express, or perform their gender is as valid as any other.
<!--T:112-->
Nonbinary people may or may not experience [[gender dysphoria]], or may experience only bodily or social dysphoria. Some nonbinary people choose to [[transition]] by making social and physical changes that suit them better. Other nonbinary people do not make life changes that they see as part of the transition narrative. Some feel that there is no social role or body to "transition" to, and so simply focus on being themselves. Some nonbinary people choose or need to present an [[Androgyny|androgynous]] or [[gender neutral]] gender expression, and others do not. Some nonbinary people wear [[clothing]] that could be seen as [[crossdressing]], and some nonbinary people do not. Some nonbinary people prefer to be referred to using [[gender neutral language]], [[gender neutral titles|titles]], and [[pronouns]]. Other nonbinary people are comfortable with being called by gendered language.
<!--T:113-->
All of these are completely individual choices based on what any one nonbinary person personally feels they want to, need to, or must do in order to feel more comfortable and more like themselves.
