'''Non-Binary''' or '''nonbinary''' (sometimes shortened to '''NBY, NB,''' or '''enby''') refers to someone whose [[gender]] does not fall strictly within the category of the [[Binary Genders|binary genders]] ([[male]] or [[female]]) that are 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 may identify with one or both of the binary genders, at least in part, while others are completely unrelated to the binary genders.
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
Non-binary individuals may call themselves enbies or borls (the equivalent of boys or girls) or enben (the equivalent of men or women).<ref>https://askanonbinary.tumblr.com/post/74102698117/okay-everyone-i-want-your-input-on-this-were</ref><ref>[https://nonbinary.wiki/wiki/Glossary_of_English_gender_and_sex_terminology#E Glossary of English gender and sex terminology | Nonbinary Wiki]</ref> Non-binary is included in the umbrella of [[transgender]], although some non-binary individuals choose not to identify as transgender. The word enban is an equivalent of woman or man.
