'''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
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, 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]].
Non-binary people who are not female aligned, feminine aligned, male aligned, masculine aligned, or neutral aligned are called [[atrinary]], [[outherine]], or [[xenogender]].

== 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 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]].
Many Non-English speakers will create new pronouns, as their language does not have a gender-neutral singular pronoun like the English "them".

== Flag ==
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
