Gender Non-Conforming (GNC), also known as Gender Variant, refers to people whose gender presentation does not align with or reflect their actual gender. Many GNC people are transgender or non-binary, however there are also many cisgender people who are gender non-conforming. Some possible examples of gender non-conformity include, but are not limited to:
- A cis woman who presents masculinely.
- A trans man who presents androgynously.
- A non-binary person who presents femininely.
Many labels exist to signify one's gender presentation, such as butch, femme, vermil, cerul, and pewt, among others.
Gender non-conformity commonly focuses on physically appearance, such as hair style, style of clothes, presence of makeup and/or nail polish, presence of facial hair and/or body hair, etc, though it can also include physically traits such as having certain personality traits or interests, having certain professions, or using certain pronouns.
The pronouns one uses are also a form of gender presentation so using pronouns that are not typically associated with one's gender is also a form of gender non-conformity. Some examples of pronoun non-conformity include he/him lesbians, she/her gays, as well as non-binary people who use he/him or she/her pronouns, and binary men and women who use they/them pronouns.
