Non-binary gender
A non-binary gender (also spelled nonbinary) is any gender that is not male or female. Someone who is non-binary might identify as transgender. Some non-binary people experience gender dysphoria.
The idea that there are only two genders (male and female) is called the gender binary. So, a non-binary gender is a gender that is not part of the gender binary.
Examples of non-binary genders are agender, bigender, and genderfluid.
Pronouns and titles
Some non-binary people use gender-neutral words to describe themselves. Many non-binary people like to be called the pronoun "they" instead of "she" or "he". Some use different pronouns like "xe" or "ey". [1]
The gender-neutral title that is usually used instead of "Mr." or "Ms." is "Mx.", which is usually pronounced like "mix" or "mux".[2][3]
