'''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
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 ==
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]].
Other non-binary genders are not connected to the binary genders at all. These genders are not connected to maleness
Non-binary people who are not female aligned, feminine aligned, male aligned, or masculine align, but are also do not describe their gender a neutral or neutral aligned may be call [[atrinary]], [[outherine]], or [[xenogender]].
== 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 presentation. Some non-binary people do not transition and present as the gender assigned to them at birth
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.
