About Non-binary in brief
Non-binary is a spectrum of gender identities that are not exclusively masculine or feminine. Some non-binary people are medically treated for gender dysphoria with surgery or hormones, as trans men and women often are. Non-binary gender identities are not associated with a specific gender expression, such as androgyny. Agender people are those who identify as having no gender or being without a gender identity. Bigender, bi-gender, or dual gender is aGender identity that includes any two gender identities and behaviors. Demi-man, for example, identifies partially or mostly with one gender identity at the same time with another gender. A poll conducted on behalf of GLAAD found that 1% of millennials identify as bigender. The term genderqueer originated in queer zines of the 1980s as a precursor to the term non- binary. The Human Rights Campaign Foundation and Gender Spectrum use the term gender-expansive to convey \”a wider, more flexible range of gender identity andor expression than typically associated with the binary gender system\”. Neutrois and agender were two of 50 available custom genders on Facebook, which were added on 13 February 2014. Agender is also available as a gender option on OkCupid since 17 November 2014. The American Psychological Association describes the bigender identity as part of the umbrella of transgender identities. A 1999 survey conducted by the San Francisco Department of Public Health observed, among the transgender community, 3% of those who were assigned male at birth identified as either transvestite or a cross-dresser, or a bigendered person at least at least partially with being a boy or man at least with no gender at the matter of birth.
A 2016 Harris poll found that 8% of people who were born male identified as female at birth, and 8% who were birth-assigned female identified as both male and female at at least birth. Some people use enby as a short form of non- Binary. Many references use the name transgender to include genderqueernon- binary people. Many people who identify with any of these positions may not necessarily self-identify as transgender. This is different from identifying as genderfluid, as some people may not go back and forth between any fixed gender identities or may experience an entire range or spectrum of identities over time. Some bigender individuals express two distinct personas, which may be feminine, masculine, agender, androgynous, or other gender identities; others find they identify as both masculine and feminine simultaneously or fluctuating between them. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services observed that among those who are born male or female, 1% identify as either transvester, transveste, or cross-dressing.
