'''Non-binary''' (sometimes shortened to '''NB''', or '''enby''') refers to someone whose gender does not fall strictly within the category of [[Binary Genders|binary genders]] ([[man]] or [[woman]]) that is used in western society. Anyone who is not always, solely, 100% male or always, solely, 100% female can be considered non-binary. Some non-binary people may identify with one or both of the binary genders, at least in part.▼

Non-binary can be a gender identity on its own, or it can be used as an umbrella term for anyone whose gender is something other than male or female. Some people may also use the term [[genderqueer]] interchangeably with non-binary.▼

===Types of Non-Binary Genders===
[[File:Alternate star non-binary flag.png|thumb|Alternate star non-binary flag.]]
Some non-binary can be partly connected to or [[Gender Alignment|aligned]] to one or both of the binary genders. For example, a man-aligned non-binary person ([[solarian]]) may have an experience similar to man or have some connection to manhood, but is not a man or is not fully a man. Non-binary people may also be connection to [[Masculine|masculinity]] and/or [[Feminine|femininity]], but they do not necessarily have to be connected to manhood or womanhood. These types of non-binary identities can be called [[viabinary]], [[ideobinary]], or aligned. Non-binary people who are in between or simultaneously experience masculinity and femininity, and/or maleness and femaleness can be called [[androgyne]], [[androgynous]], or [[mesobinary]].▼
[[File:Nonbinary coat of arms.png|thumb|Nonbinary coat of arms.]]
Other non-binary genders are not connected to the binary genders at all. These genders are not connected to maleness, masculinity, femaleness, femininity, and they are not in between male and female or in between masculine and feminine. However, these genders are also not necessarily a [[Genderless|lack of gender]] or [[agender]]. These genders can be called [[abinary]], unaligned, [[neutral]], neutral-aligned, [[epicene]], or [[exobinary]]. ▼

Since there is no single "non-binary look" there is no "typical" non-binary transition, it depends on the person's individual gender identity and their goals for gender presentation. Some non-binary people do not transition and present as the gender assigned to them at birth, others may attempt to look like the "opposite" of their assigned gender. Others will attempt to look as androgynous or gender neutral as possible. ▼
▲Non-binary
Some non-binary people may socially transition but do not medically transition. Other non-binary people may take elements of binary transgender transitions. For example, an [[AFAB]] (assigned female at birth) non-binary person may take testosterone, or wear a binder. They may only desire a "partial" transition in order to look as androgynous as possible.▼

Each non-binary person has a unique relationship with pronouns. Some non-binary people may go by she/her pronouns or he/him pronouns. If they're an English speaker they may go by they/them pronouns. Others will go by it/its pronouns (though, this should only be used if someone asks, as otherwise it is dehumanizing). Others still will go by [[neopronouns]]. Some will go by multiple pronoun sets, others will go by [[Nullpronominal|no pronouns]].▼

==Flag and Symbols==
The non-binary flag was created by Kye Rowan in February of 2014. It was designed for non-binary
The alternate non-binary flag was created on the LGBTA fandom by user [[User:Blueberryjello|Blueberryjello]] on December 17, 2020. The yellow signifies someone who is not cisgender, the white signifies those who identify as multigender, the black signifies being agender, and the green signifies someone who is without reference to binary<ref>https://lgbta.wikia.org/f/p/4400000000000051180</ref>.
Another alternate was created by wiki user Kirbirb on February 11th, 2021. It was made to be more inclusive than the most common flag. Purple is for androgynous genders and xenogenders, peach is for feminine-aligned and female-aligned genders, white is for both all genders and genderlessness, yellow is for abinary and unaligned genders, and teal is for masculine-aligned and male-aligned genders.
The most common non-binary/genderqueer symbol was created by Johnathan R in 2012.<ref>https://genderqueerid.com/post/27216986889/cakemeister-because-people-seem-to-like-it</ref> It is similar to the male or female symbols, but instead of a cross on the female symbol or arrow on the male symbol, it uses an X or a star on the end. The use of the X denounces both binary genders, and the letter X is commonly used in non-binary pronouns and titles. The position, pointing straight up, also deviates from the positions of the male and female symbols.
Another non-binary flag was coined by [[User:Cryptocrew|Cryptocrew]] at [[User:Hayden000|Hayden000s]] request on January 15th of 2021 and was first [https://lgbta.wikia.org/f/p/4400000000000094761 published on a post] two days later. In the background of the flag, dark blue is for man-aligned non-binary individuals, light blue is for masculine-aligned non-binary individuals, green is for genderless/agender-aligned non-binary individuals, white is for fluid-aligned non-binary individuals, purple is for multigender non-binary individuals, orange is for xenic/outherine-aligned non-binary individuals, pink is for feminine-aligned non-binary individuals, and red is for woman-aligned non-binary individuals. In the front, the black is for falling out of the binary, while the purple crossing off the pink and blue represents being seperate from a man or a woman.
Another non-binary flag was designed on April 9, 2021 by FANDOM user Waterbutcold. The black represents being genderless, blank genders, null genders and absence of gender, the gray represents partial genders, the white represents multigenders, fluid, and flux genders, the yellow represents unique and abinary genders, and the green represents neutral genders. The blue represents masculine and male genders, as well as masculine gender presentation. This includes being male-aligned, linked with masculinity, connected with it, or having aspects of a masculine/male gender. The purple represents male and female, feminine and masculine, and androgynous genders, as well as androgynous gender presentation. This includes every gender that's linked, aligned, or connected to both binary genders in any way. It includes having aspects of both binary genders. The pink represents feminine and female genders, as well as feminine gender presentation. This includes being female-aligned, linked with femininity, connected with it, or having aspects of a feminine/female gender.
The non-binary coat of arms and its heraldic achievement were first designed by Quark-Nova on November 21, 2021.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/QueerVexillology/comments/qykcln/nonbinary_coat_of_arms/</ref> The four quarters of the coat of arms bear the four colors of the nonbinary flag (gold, white, purple and black), going clockwise from the top left. The charge is a frog, itself commonly used as a non-binary emblem, in the colors of the agender flag (black, gray, white and green). The achievement embroiders on the escutcheon - the shield bearing the coat of arms - gems in the colors of the genderfluid flag (pink, white, purple, black and blue, from the center outwards). Furthermore, an imperial orb is added as crest, representing the non-binary gender symbol (🜬). The motto reads ''Humanum ante genus'', Latin for "Human before gender". The blazon is as follows:
''"Quarterly Or, Argent, Purpure and Sable, a Frog couchant to dexter Cendrée doubled Argent and crined Vert"''
The astronomical symbol for comets (☄) is also sometimes used as a non-binary symbol. It was proposed because the male and female signs are both signs for planets. The symbols for comets was likely chosen because comets can exist anywhere in the solar system, showing the vast range of possible non-binary identities. This symbol is also sometimes used for [[maverique]] specifically.
