'''Non-binary''', also known as '''nonbinary''', and referred to as '''[[enby]]''' or shortened down to '''NB''', describes any [[gender identity]] that does not fit the [[male]] and [[female]] [[Binary Genders|binary system]], or any [[gender identity]] that does not have a matching [[sex]].<ref name=:0">https://transequality.org/issues/resources/understanding-nonbinary-people-how-to-be-respectful-and-supportive</ref><ref name=a>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-binary_gender#cite_note-intersex-2016-14</ref> Those with non-binary genders can:
*Have an [[androgynous]] (both [[masculine]] and [[feminine]]) gender identity, such as [[androgyne]].
* Have an identity between male and female, such as [[intergender]], [[midgender]], or [[centrigender]].
*Have a [[neutral]] or unrecognized gender identity, such as [[agender]], [[neutrois]], or most [[Xenogender|xenogenders]].
*Have [[Multigender|multiple gender identities]], such as [[bigender]] or [[pangender]].
*Have a gender identity which varies over time, known as [[genderfluid]] or [[genderflux]].
*Have a weak or partial connection to a gender identity, known as [[demigender]].
*Are [[intersex]] and identify as intersex, known as [[amalgagender]]
*Have a [[Galactian Alignment System|galactian alignment]] identity, created to describe genders without using binary terms.
*Have a [[Third Gender|culturally specific gender identity]] which exists only within their or their ancestor's culture.
*Identify as a [[Third Gender|third-gender]] that doesn't exactly exist only within a specific culture such as [[Proxvir]], [[Juxera]], or [[Maverique]].

Non-binary people may also identify as [[transgender]] and/or [[transsexual]]. <ref>https://transequality.org/issues/resources/understanding-nonbinary-people-how-to-be-respectful-and-supportive</ref> The label [[genderqueer]] has a lot of overlap with non-binary. Non-binary is often seen as the preferred term, as "queer" may be used as a [[Transphobia|transphobic]] insult.

Non-binary people may wish to [[transition]] so that their [[gender expression]] more closely reflects their internal identity. Many non-binary people wish to appear [[androgynous]] and adopt unisex [[names]], gender-neutral [[titles|titIes]] such as Mx. and/or gender-neutral [[pronouns]], but others prefer to express themselves in ways which are traditionally seen as [[masculine]] or [[feminine]] or mix aspects of the two.

Non-binary people can have any [[Orientation|sexual orientation]], although if attracted primarily to a single gender they may prefer to use gender-terminology to express this, such as androsexual or gynosexual.

Non-binary people can use any pronoun they desire to use, as can anyone of any gender (except for group-specific pronoun sets, such as tic/tics, if they don't belong to said group). Many nonbinary people use they/them pronouns, but since pronouns do not always correspond to gender, they can use any pronouns. For example, a nonbinary person may use she/her pronouns due to being comfortable with such, they don't have to be female-aligned/feminine. Some may use all or any pronouns, and not have a preference. Some may prefer a certain set (or certain sets) of pronouns, but are okay with any. Some reclaim it/its pronouns while some even use neopronouns, such as xe/xem, zey/zem, per/pers, or ne/nim. This is absolutely not a complete list of neopronouns, as some people use nounself pronouns (for example: pup/pups or moon/moons), or even create their own pronoun sets.
