Body Non-Conforming (BNC), also known as Soul/Body Variant, is a form of ‘non-conformity’ in which an individual’s identity is beyond just physical or mental identities. In other words, individuals that feel the body they are in physically(and/or) mentally, or spiritually, wasn’t meant for them.
- A trans man who feels like they were always man, may feel like they were born in the wrong body but their identity beyond what they were physically is male.
- A cisgender individual who feels they should have been the ‘opposite’, or ‘non-AGAB’ but may not suffer with dysphoria, nor may feel like it’s a ‘need’ to identify as said identity.
- Individual who has been allosexual for as long as they can remember, but never felt truly comfortable with it, and feels like their identity ‘beyond’ is asexual.
- Individuals who are alterhuman, or questioning if they are alterhuman.
