| This list of [[fictional depictions of nonbinary gender|fictional depictions of non-binary gender]] is for taking note of all examples of [[nonbinary|non-binary]] [[gender identity]] in fiction in any kind of media. The media includes animation, board and card games, books and other literature, comics and graphic novels, movies, performance, TV, webseries, and video games. Since most people don't know that people can have a non-binary gender identity, the way that non-binary genders are represented in fiction can be a valuable part of non-binary visibility and awareness. Fiction can also be an outlet for non-binary people to explore their identities and the possibilities of society's attitudes toward them. These are reasons why representation matters. It's very rare for fiction to have any real representation of non-binary gender. It's almost as rare for characters to have an undisclosed gender, or to have a fictional sex, which almost but not really counts as non-binary representation. They're close enough that they are dealt with on this page anyway, since sometimes the distinctions aren't clear. | | This list of [[fictional depictions of nonbinary gender]] is for taking note of all examples of [[nonbinary]] [[gender identity]] in fiction in any kind of media.

| There is a difference between being born with a physical [[intersex]] condition, and having a non-binary gender identity. Many intersex people identify as just [[female]] or [[male]], not non-binary. Many non-binary people were not intersex, meaning they were [[AFAB|assigned female at birth]] or [[AMAB|assigned male at birth]]. If a character has a real-life kind of intersex condition, you should still list them on this page only if they also have a non-binary gender identity. | | There is a difference between being born with a physical [[intersex]] condition, and having a nonbinary gender identity.

| If you add a piece of media to this list, please tell exactly which character is non-binary, and how this is told in canon, or your entry will be deleted. Don't include media here that just has a popular "headcanon" (a fan's imaginary interpretation) of a non-binary character, because this isn't representation. Please give direct quotes from canon that are evidence that the character is non-binary. | | If you add a piece of media to this list, please tell exactly which character is nonbinary, and how this is told in canon, or your entry will be deleted.

| This section is for the most true-to-life representation of non-binary gender identities. The story explicitly says that they don't identify as a woman or man, but as a different gender. The characters aren't non-binary because of having fictional sexes. Their physical sexes and genders assigned at birth are non-intersex or a real-life intersex condition. If their physical sex or gender assigned at birth is undisclosed, their gender identity is still explicitly, specifically labeled as not female or male, but something else. They may or may not take a social or physical transition in their gender expression. They may or may not look androgynous. They may or may not go by gender-neutral pronouns. | | This section is for the most true-to-life representation of nonbinary gender identities.

| * ''Ouran Highschool Host Club'' features the character Haruhi Fujioka, who is assigned female at birth, but "happened to be" dressed in a masculine manner. When their friends discover their sex, they ask, "You're a girl?!" to which they reply, "Biologically, yes." They later state that they do not think a person's gender is important, which many fans see as a sign that Haruhi is [[agender]] or genderblind. They are typically referred to using traditionally feminine pronouns such as "she", though Haruhi has shown no preference. | | * ''Ouran Highschool Host Club'' features the character Haruhi Fujioka, who is assigned female at birth, but "happened to be" dressed in a masculine manner.

| * ''[https://www.choiceofgames.com/versus-the-lost-ones/ VERSUS: The Lost Ones]'' by Zachary Sergi (published in 2015 by Choice of Games LLC) is a sci-fi interactive novel where it's possible to play a non-binary character. The player's character, Thomil, comes from a planet where everyone telepathically shares their thoughts and feelings with one another. A couple chapters into the story, the player is asked about their character's gender. They can choose from six options: a cisgender woman, transgender woman, cis man, trans man, intersex, or "I don't subscribe to any gender categories". Choosing the last option sets Thomil's stats to say "Gender: Not Applicable," and brings up these remarks in the narrative: "You are both genders, but you are also neither gender. You believe gender defies categorization, operating on a kind of sliding scale-- one that can change every day. You've come across [foreign planets'] texts about other cultures where such thinking is considered taboo or even sacrilegious, but in a society where everyone can quite literally share their thoughts and experiences, it's fairly impossible not to accept others once you understand who they truly are. Besides, even the most staunchly 'male' or 'female' cisgenders admit that sometimes they feel more 'masculine' or 'feminine' at different times. You just take that kind of thinking to a whole new level." The narration in ''VERSUS'' makes clear that this is not an undisclosed gender or a fantasy sex, but a non-binary gender identity. Though Thomil comes from a sci-fi setting where where this and other transgender identities are accepted, this is a realistic depiction of a non-binary person. | | * ''[https://www.choiceofgames.com/versus-the-lost-ones/ VERSUS: The Lost Ones]'' by Zachary Sergi (published in 2015 by Choice of Games LLC) is a sci-fi interactive novel where it's possible to play a nonbinary character.

| Some characters have their gender and sex hidden and not told about. This might be kept a secret for the entire story. Readers and viewers can only guess about the character's gender, or they can be comfortable with not knowing. This can be an interesting device in fiction that makes us take notice of our assumptions and stereotypes. However, it isn't really the same thing as representation of non-binary gender identities. A character whose gender is never explicitly stated ''could'' be non-binary, especially if their [[gender expression]] involves going to great efforts to make sure nobody knows their gender. However, they ''could'' just as likely be female, or male. What makes someone non-binary is if they identify as non-binary. However, in this case the viewers don't get to know how that character identifies. Also note that looking [[androgyny|androgynous]] doesn't mean that someone identifies as an [[androgyne]]. | | Some characters have their gender and sex hidden and not told about.

| * In ''Adventure Time'', a fantasy series, a recurring side character, BMO (Beemo), is popularly seen by fans as genderless, but canon is less than clear on this. BMO is a tiny robot resembling a video game console, with a high, childlike voice (by actress Niki Yang). Nothing in the canon states outright that BMO is female, male, or otherwise. However, a strong clue for the latter is that in "Fionna and Cake," an alternative universe gender-swap episode (meaning all female characters are shown as male and vice versa), BMO is the only character with no visible change, apart from his controller.<ref><beelinespan class="beeline-node" style="color: rgb(123, 164, 170) !important;">a</beelinespan><beelinespan class="beeline-node" style="color: rgb(123, 164, 170) !important;">d</beelinespan><beelinespan class="beeline-node" style="color: rgb(123, 164, 170) !important;">v</beelinespan><beelinespan class="beeline-node" style="color: rgb(123, 164, 170) !important;">e</beelinespan><beelinespan class="beeline-node" style="color: rgb(123, 164, 170) !important;">n</beelinespan><beelinespan class="beeline-node" style="color: rgb(123, 164, 170) !important;">t</beelinespan><beelinespan class="beeline-node" style="color: rgb(123, 164, 170) !important;">u</beelinespan><beelinespan class="beeline-node" style="color: rgb(123, 164, 170) !important;">r</beelinespan><beelinespan class="beeline-node" style="color: rgb(123, 164, 170) !important;">e</beelinespan><beelinespan class="beeline-node" style="color: rgb(123, 164, 170) !important;">t</beelinespan><beelinespan class="beeline-node" style="color: rgb(123, 164, 170) !important;">i</beelinespan><beelinespan class="beeline-node" style="color: rgb(123, 164, 170) !important;">m</beelinespan><beelinespan class="beeline-node" style="color: rgb(123, 164, 170) !important;">e</beelinespan><beelinespan class="beeline-node" style="color: rgb(123, 164, 170) !important;">.</beelinespan><beelinespan class="beeline-node" style="color: rgb(123, 164, 170) !important;">w</beelinespan><beelinespan class="beeline-node" style="color: rgb(123, 164, 170) !important;">i</beelinespan><beelinespan class="beeline-node" style="color: rgb(123, 164, 170) !important;">k</beelinespan><beelinespan class="beeline-node" style="color: rgb(123, 164, 170) !important;">i</beelinespan><beelinespan class="beeline-node" style="color: rgb(123, 164, 170) !important;">a</beelinespan><beelinespan class="beeline-node" style="color: rgb(123, 164, 170) !important;">.</beelinespan><beelinespan class="beeline-node" style="color: rgb(123, 164, 170) !important;">c</beelinespan><beelinespan class="beeline-node" style="color: rgb(123, 164, 170) !important;">o</beelinespan><beelinespan class="beeline-node" style="color: rgb(123, 164, 170) !important;">m</beelinespan><beelinespan class="beeline-node" style="color: rgb(123, 164, 170) !important;">/</beelinespan><beelinespan class="beeline-node" style="color: rgb(123, 164, 170) !important;">w</beelinespan><beelinespan class="beeline-node" style="color: rgb(123, 164, 170) !important;">i</beelinespan><beelinespan class="beeline-node" style="color: rgb(123, 164, 170) !important;">k</beelinespan><beelinespan class="beeline-node" style="color: rgb(123, 164, 170) !important;">i</beelinespan><beelinespan class="beeline-node" style="color: rgb(123, 164, 170) !important;">/</beelinespan><beelinespan class="beeline-node" style="color: rgb(123, 164, 170) !important;">B</beelinespan><beelinespan class="beeline-node" style="color: rgb(123, 164, 170) !important;">M</beelinespan><beelinespan class="beeline-node" style="color: rgb(123, 164, 170) !important;">O</beelinespan></ref> As seen elsewhere on this page, it's not uncommon for robots to be written as genderless. | | * In ''Adventure Time'', a fantasy series, a recurring side character, BMO (Beemo), is popularly seen by fans as genderless, but canon is less than clear on this.

For example, in "Davey" (describing himself as "a little living boy," and simulating peeing standing up by pouring a cup of water into a toilet), and in "Five Short Graybles" (describing his mirrored persona as "a real baby girl"). In "BMO Noire," BMO role-plays as a masculine detective (appearing in one scene with facial stubble), but the episode title uses the feminine form of "noire," rather than masculine "noir."<ref>adventuretime.wikia.com/wiki/BMO</ref> The masculine form is standard in the phrase "film noir," the name of the detective movie genre parodied in that episode. In "James Baxter the Horse," BMO carries an egg around and sings, in part, "BMO, how'd you get so pregnant? Who's the mother? Oh, who's the father?"<ref>"BMO's Pregnant Song."

| * Anne Leckie's science fiction novels ''Ancillary Justice'' (2013) and ''Ancillary Sword'' (2014) were set in a futuristic society that is indifferent to gender, so all the characters are called by [[Pronouns#She|gender-neutral "she" pronouns]], leaving their actual gender and sex undisclosed. Leckie says she had an assumption at the time that gender is binary, so these are likely not non-binary characters.<ref><beelinespan class="beeline-node" style="color: rgb(123, 164, 170)

[[Pronouns#She|gender-neutral "she" pronouns]], leaving their actual gender and sex undisclosed. Leckie says she had an assumption at the time that gender is binary, so these are likely not non-binary characters.<ref>Geek's Guide to the Galaxy, "Sci-fi's hottest new writer won't tell you the sex of her characters."

| * In the Choose Your Own Adventure series of interactive fiction books, the player's character is always written with no implications about their gender. The idea was that the main character of the book ''was'' the reader, who could be any gender, so the character was described as little as possible. The illustrators were sometimes able to make the player's character look androgynous, such as by showing them in shadows, or wearing costumes that hide their face. This was all intentional. However, in some of the books they simply drew the character as looking like a boy, even though the player's character was still written about in only a gender-neutral way. | | * In the Choose Your Own Adventure series of interactive fiction books, the player's character is always written with no implications about their gender.

| * In Alastair Reynolds's science fiction novel ''On the Steel Breeze,'' one character is called by gender-neutral [[Pronouns#Ve|"ve" pronouns]].

| Some characters have a non-binary gender identity only because they have a fictional kind of a physical sex. Their sex is different than female, male, or any kind of real-life intersex condition. For example, a robot that never had a physical sex, and might be correspondingly genderless. Or characters who have the fictional ability to change their sex at will, and might be said to have a corresponding [[genderfluid]] identity. Or an alien species that reproduces by different means than humans, resulting in an alien culture with different gender roles. The fictional sexes are used as ''justification'' for these characters having non-binary gender identities. No real non-binary people have these sexes, and can't use that justification. As such, these kinds of characters don't really count as non-binary representation. | | Some characters have a nonbinary gender identity only because they have a fictional kind of a physical sex.

| * M. C. A. Hogarth's science-fiction series about the Jokka, an alien species that can randomly change sex twice at puberty, with three sexes, and three corresponding gender roles: female, male, and neuter. The neuters can't reproduce, but since they're the least vulnerable to succumbing to "mind death" (a kind of stroke that afflicts any member of their species if they exert themselves too hard), their place in society is to do work that requires a hardy body and a good memory. Several main characters don't like the sexes they ended up with, and could be seen as transgender. The main character in the short story "Freedom, Spiced and Drunk" wishes to be neuter; details aren't possible without spoiling the story. | | * M. C. A.

| * Bard Bloom's World Tree is a setting with no human species, and many of the intelligent species in that setting have fictional sexes, such as co-lover, both-female, and so on. This includes the protagonist of a book in that setting, ''[http://www.amazon.com/Sythyrys-Journal-Chronicle-Transaffection-Adventure/dp/1451562934 Sythyry's Journal]'', which was first serialized as a blog starting in 2002. Sythyry is a member of a dragon-like species who are all "hermaphrodites" (and not analogous to real-life intersex conditions), and don't identify as female or male. In World Tree society, species is more important than gender, so same-gender relationships are seen as unremarkable, but cross-species relationships are seen as queer, which is a significant plot element in that book. The setting also has a role-playing game handbook, ''World Tree: A role playing game of species and civilization'' (2001). A romance novel in the setting, ''[http://www.amazon.com/MARRIAGE-OF-INSECTS-novel-World/dp/1890096369 A Marriage of Insects],'' deals with the relationships of a group of Herethroy, an insect-like species that has three (arguably four) sexes: male, female, co-lover (a sex necessary for males and females of that species to reproduce), and both-female (a socially unaccepted variant sex, indeterminate between female and co-lover). | | * Bard Bloom's World Tree is a setting with no human species, and many of the intelligent species in that setting have fictional sexes, such as co-lover, both-female, and so on.

| * In ''Static'', a romance novel by L. A. Witt, there have always been a marginalized minority of humans capable of changing sex instantly and at will, known as "shifters." Shifters are usually, though not always, genderfluid, having different gender identities at different times, including male, female, and other genders. (Though they only have the ability to change between two sexes.) Alex, one of the protagonists and part of the lead romantic pair, is a genderfluid shifter who is the victim of medical assault to force them to remain in one form, but continues to be genderfluid and experience dysphoria. | | * In ''Static'', a romance novel by L.

For simplification reasons, in the comic the three main ones are referred to as he, she, and ne.

| * "Simoun" takes place in a world that recognizes three genders: male, female, and a feminine "maiden" gender which everyone is assigned at birth. When people in this world come of age, they're required to give up the "maiden" gender and commit to male or female--those who do not choose have it chosen for them. Several of the main characters, including the two leads, decide that they do not want to be men or women, but rather keep their "maiden" gender, which goes against the rules of society. Despite the maiden gender being feminine, the fact that choosing to keep it is regarded as significantly different from choosing to become a woman shows that it is a third gender role and not the same as womanhood. | | * "Simoun" takes place in a world that recognizes three genders: male, female, and a feminine "maiden" gender which everyone is assigned at birth.

The show creator, Rebecca Sugar, says the Gems aren't female: "Steven is the first and only male Gem, because he is half human! Technically, there are no female Gems! There are only Gems!"<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/2e4gmx/i_am_rebecca_sugar_creator_of_steven_universe_and/cjw8e1p</ref> The Gems are called by [[Pronouns#She|she]] pronouns just because it's easy: Sugar said, "There's a 50 50 chance to use some pronoun on Earth, so why not feminine ones-- it's as convenient as it is arbitrary!"<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/2e4gmx/i_am_rebecca_sugar_creator_of_steven_universe_and/cjw8ztw/</ref> In a later interview, Rebecca stated outright that "the Gems are all nonbinary women. [...] They wouldn’t think of themselves as women, but they’re fine with being interpreted that way amongst humans." (She also identified herself as a nonbinary woman in this same interview.)<ref>[https://the1a.org/audio/#/shows/2018-07-09/the-mind-behind-americas-most-empathetic-cartoon/114886/ The Mind Behind America's Most Empathetic Cartoon], July 09 2018</ref> Furthermore, Gems can temporarily fuse together to become a combined being. In episode "Alone Together", the aforementioned Steven manages to pull off this skill with human girl Connie, resulting in a fusion named "Stevonnie." When asked about Stevonnie's gender, Rebecca Sugar replied that "Stevonnie is an experience! The living relationship between Steven and Connie," describing them as a "metaphor that is so complex and so specific but also really, really relatable, in the form of a character."<ref>http://io9.com/steven-universe-guidebook-spills-the-secrets-of-the-cry-1704470546</ref> In that episode, the characters don't use any pronouns for Stevonnie ([[Pronouns#No pronouns|no pronouns]]), but [http://steven-universe.wikia.com/wiki/Matt_Burnett Matt Burnett] confirmed on Twitter that Stevonnie uses they/them pronouns.<ref>https://twitter.com/mcburnett/status/620637717731217408</ref>. |

This gender is given the name of "middlesex" in the second season.

| This section is for characters who are [[gender nonconforming]] but have a [[binary gender]] identity. That is, they identify as female, or as male, and are therefore not non-binary. In significant ways, the characters don't conform to the expectations and norms for their gender. Fans may describe these characters as [[genderqueer]], which may be accurate. A character who is gender nonconforming and/or genderqueer isn't necessarily non-binary, since they may still have a strictly binary gender identity, and they may also be [[cisgender]]. For example, a character who says something like, "I'm all man, and wearing a pink dress doesn't make me any less of a man" is gender nonconforming and perhaps genderqueer, but definitely not non-binary. | | This section is for characters who are [[gender nonconforming]] but have a [[binary gender]] identity.

| * In the comedy series ''SheZow'', the legacy of a super-heroine has been passed down through generations of grand-aunts to grand-nieces when they inherit a magic ring that grants feminine-themed powers. For the first time, the ring is inherited by a boy, Guy Hamdon. Whenever he's being SheZow, which entails wearing a pink costume with a skirt and long hair, he has to keep up the appearance of being a girl in order to protect his secret identity. If anyone finds out who SheZow really is, his whole family will have to be relocated to the moon. Aside from his hair, SheZow's body doesn't change, and he has to remember to speak in a higher voice. Shezow often insists that his friends who are in the know need to call him by "she" pronouns whenever he appears in public as SheZow, and grumbles whenever they mess it up. When a friend hesitates and asks in private which pronoun Guy prefers, Guy shrugs and replies, "Eh, it depends on what I'm wearing." In other words, Guy's pronoun preference while being SheZow is "she," and is "he" while in his secret identity. Guy overcomes his initial discomfort and finds empowerment and confidence in femininity, even while remaining happily masculine when presenting as a boy. While this comfortable alternation between male and female presentations could be seen as a [[genderfluid]] or [[bigender]] character, the show creator has stated in an interview that, to the best of his understanding, this isn't so: "SheZow is not transgendered. He's a boy, his gender never changes, he's just trapped in a silly costume."<ref><beelinespan class="beeline-node" style="color: rgb(123, 164, 170) !important;">R</beelinespan><beelinespan

of a super-heroine has been passed down through generations of grand-aunts to grand-nieces when they inherit a magic ring that grants feminine-themed powers. For the first time, the ring is inherited by a boy, Guy Hamdon. Whenever he's being SheZow, which entails wearing a pink costume with a skirt and long hair, he has to keep up the appearance of being a girl in order to protect his secret identity. If anyone finds out who SheZow really is, his whole family will have to be relocated to the moon. Aside from his hair, SheZow's body doesn't change, and he has to remember to speak in a higher voice. Shezow often insists that his friends who are in the know need to call him by "she" pronouns whenever he appears in public as SheZow, and grumbles whenever they mess it up. When a friend hesitates and asks in private which pronoun Guy prefers, Guy shrugs and replies, "Eh, it depends on what I'm wearing." In other words, Guy's pronoun preference while being SheZow is "she," and is "he" while in his secret identity. Guy overcomes his initial discomfort and finds empowerment and confidence in femininity, even while remaining happily masculine when presenting as a boy. While this comfortable alternation between male and female presentations could be seen as a [[genderfluid]] or [[bigender]] character, the show creator has stated in an interview that, to the best of his understanding, this isn't so: "SheZow is not transgendered. He's a boy, his gender never changes, he's just trapped in a silly costume."<ref>Reiher, Andrea (1 June 2013). "'SheZow' creator talks 'transsexual' criticism, a 'coming out' episode and more". Zap2It. Retrieved 11 February 2014.</ref> As such, Shezow/Guy is a gender nonconforming cisgender boy. |
| ** There are other gender noncomforming characters in Shezow than the title character. Shezow's evil clone, Shezap, can look like Guy or like Shezow. When they open a portal to a gender-swapped alternative universe, Shezow discovers that the version of herself there is Dudepow, a hero with masculine-themed powers who is secretly a girl. | | ** There are other gender noncomforming characters in Shezow than the title character.

| * ''The Gods Themselves'' by Isaac Asimov - The 2nd part of this book features an alien species that reproduces by different means than humans, resulting in an alien culture with different gender roles. However, the 3 fictional sexes are ''not'' used as justification for these characters having non-binary gender identities, as the protagonists are depicted as being gender non-conforming by the standards of their own society. Most notable is Dua, the "emotional"/"mid" member of a triad, who has always struggled to fit in with the others of her sex. She's explicitly non-conforming, exhibiting traits normally associated with the "rational"/"left" sex of her species. As a result, her peers use the slur "left-em" against her, which she would eventually reclaim as her own identity, along with "queer". Would she also qualify as non-binary (technically non-trinary) transgender? This is open to interpretation by the reader. | | * ''The Gods Themselves'' by Isaac Asimov - The 2nd part of this book features an alien species that reproduces by different means than humans, resulting in an alien culture with different gender roles.
