'''Non-Binary''' (sometimes shortened to '''NB''' or '''enby''') refers to someone whose gender does not fall strictly within the category of the [[Binary Genders|binary genders]] ([[man]] or [[woman]]) 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 people may also use the term [[genderqueer]] interchangeably with non-binary. |

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]]. |

Each non-binary person has a unique relationship with [[pronouns]] |
Each non-binary person has a unique relationship with [[pronouns]]. If their language has gender neutral pronouns, such as they/them, they may use those. Some non-binary people may go by she/her pronouns or he/him 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 "they". Additionally, some may go by [[Multipronominal|multiple]] pronoun sets, and others will go by [[Nullpronominal|no pronouns]], using just a name in place of where pronouns would be. |
