'''Non-Binary''' or '''nonbinary''' (sometimes shortened to '''NBY''' or '''N.B.''') 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 individuals may also use the term [[genderqueer]] interchangeably with non-binary or something else entirely. |
