'''Non-Binary''' or '''nonbinary''' (sometimes shortened to '''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. |

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]]. |

The non-binary flag was created by Kye Rowan in February of 2014. It was designed for non-binary people who felt the genderqueer flag did not represent them.<ref>https://thejasmineelf.tumblr.com/post/77007286542/after-counting-up-all-the-votes-for-each</ref> Yellow represents being outside the gender binary, as yellow is often used to distinguish something as its own. White is the presence of all colors, representing people who are [[Multigender|many]] or [[Pangender|all genders]]. Purple represents the fluidity and multiplicity of many gender experiences, the uniqueness and flexibility of non-binary people, as well as representing those whose gender experiences include being in between female (traditionally pink) and male (traditionally blue). Black is the absence of color and represents [[agender]] or [[genderless]] people. |
