Non-binary gender (also called NB) describes any gender identity which does not fit the male and female binary. Many non-binary people wish to appear androgynous and adopt unisex names, gender-neutral titles such as Mx. and/or gender-neutral pronoun, but others prefer to express themselves in ways that are traditionally seen as masculine or feminine or to mix aspects of the two.

Non-binary people may also identify as transgender and/or transexual. The label genderqueer has a lot of overlap with non-binary. Non-binary is often seen as the preferred term, as "queer" may be used as a transphobic insult.

Non-binary people can use any pronoun they so, please. The majority of Non-binary people use They/Them pronouns, but since pronouns do not always correspond to gender, they can use any pronouns. Some even use Neopronouns, such as xe, zey, per, jie, and or Ne/nim/nis pronouns.
