Non-binary refers to a person who does not exclusively identify as a man or woman. These folks reject the idea that we only form two categories of gender identity. In contrast, they may identify as both a man and a woman or as being completely outside of these categories. Other terms sometimes used by non-binary folks include gender non-conforming or genderqueer. July 14, International Non-Binary People’s Day, is a day to support and celebrate all those who identify as non-binary and to recognize the beauty of differences and diversity in gender identity.
