-'''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.

 ==Transition==
-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 [[Gender Presentation|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.

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, as more masculine or feminine. Others will attempt to look as androgynous or gender neutral as possible.
-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.

 ===Pronouns===
-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 their language has gender neutral pronouns, such as they/them, they may go by those 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]]. Many non-English speakers will create neopronouns, as their language does not have a gender-neutral singular pronoun like the English "them". Additionally, some may go by [[Multipronominal|multiple]] pronoun sets, and others will go by [[Nullpronominal|no pronouns]].
