    '''Gender Non-Conforming''' ('''GNC'''), also known as '''Gender Variant''', refers to individuals whose [[Gender Presentation|gender presentation]] does not align with or reflect their actual gender. Many GNC individuals are [[transgender]] or [[Non-Binary|non-binary]], however there are also many [[cisgender]] individuals who are gender non-conforming. Some possible examples of gender non-conformity include, but are not limited to:
    '''Gender Non-Conforming''' ('''GNC'''), or '''Gender Variant''', is a term describing an individual whose [[Gender Presentation|gender presentation]] does not align with or reflect their [[Gender Identity|gender identity]].
    * A cis woman who presents [[Masculine|masculinely]].
    * A trans man who presents [[Androgynous|androgynously]].
    * A non-binary individual who presents [[Feminine|femininely]].


    GNC individuals may identify with any [[Gender Modality|gender modality]], including [[cisgender]].
    Many labels exist to signify one's gender presentation, such as [[butch]], [[femme]], [[vermil]], [[cerul]], and [[pewt]], among others.


    Possible examples of gender non-conformity include, but are not limited to:
    Gender non-conformity commonly focuses on physical 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 other traits such as having certain personality traits or interests, having certain professions, or using certain [[pronouns]].
    * A cisgender [[Female|woman]] who presents [[Masculine|masculinely]].

    * A [[transgender]] [[Male|man]] who presents [[Androgynous|androgynously]].
    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. This is called [[Pronoun Non-Conforming|pronoun non-conformity]].
    * A [[Non-Binary|non-binary]] individual who presents [[Feminine|femininely]].

    GNC individuals may use labels that specifically describe their gender presentation, such as masculine, [[neutral]], [[butch]], [[femme]], and terms belonging to gender presentation systems like the [[Pallet System|pallet system]].

    Gender non-conformity commonly focuses on the physical appearance aspect of gender presentation, such as hair style, style of clothes, use of makeup and/or nail polish, and presence of facial hair and/or body hair. Other aspects of gender presentation, such as having certain personality traits or interests, having certain professions, or using certain [[pronouns]], also may relate to gender non-conformity.

    Because pronouns are a form of gender presentation, using pronouns that are not typically associated with one's gender identity is a form of gender non-conformity. This is called [[Pronoun Non-Conforming|pronoun non-conformity]].

    The creator of the main Gender Non-Conforming flag is unknown, although it has recieved the most attention via DeviantArt user PrideFlags, who uploaded it on March 11, 2017.<ref>{{Archive|Site=web|URL=20220127033355/https://www.deviantart.com/pride-flags/art/Gender-Nonconforming-668297039}}</ref> The colour meanings are unknown, although it could be interpreted as the various colours representing the diversity of gender presentations. A flag with the same colours but equal-size stripes is a variant.
