Maybe you’re just curious.

However, we can’t cover everything in a handout. don’t be afraid to reach out for help through our provided resources or another trusted source, like LGBT centers or knowledgeable individuals who are okay with answering questions.Published on January 12th, 2017Rightmost Interior: About this PamphletWhy is this pamphlet #2?Nonbinary identity is a complex concept and requires both knowledge of general transgender identity as well as several unique concepts and took the entire first pamphlet to explain it. We had to leave out definitions of individual identities. If you’re reading this looking for a word for yourself, don’t be afraid to experiment! Research the terms, talk to others with the identity or identities you’re interested in, and ask supportive friends to help you explore your gender. If you’ve been given this by another person to help understand something, ask them if there’s a specific identity they want you to focus on. Once you read the descriptions, talk to them. See what their identity means to them.Why are there so many words?Humans like to describe themselves with specific words - just look at the popularity of online personality quizzes. Nonbinary people feel differently about gender than what is accepted, but not all nonbinary people feel the same. There are many ways to experience gender, and therefore many words to describe it.Disclaimer: This is not a comprehensive list of identities, and definitions are generalized and may not match every individual’s sense of their gender.Middle Interior: Terms and DefinitionsGendersNonbinaryBoth an umbrella term for any gender that’s not fully male or fully female, but also an identity by itself used by people who feel neither fully male or fully female. A more broad identity, like “queer.” Generally defined as a transgender identity, but not all nonbinary people identify as transgeder.Agender / NeutroisBeing genderless or gender-neutral. Not in-between male and female, but removed from that binary entirely. Note: some use these terms interchangeably, but some have distinctions between the two. The differences, or lack thereof, are up to the individual and the communities of the identities.GenderfluidHaving a gender identity that changes and moves between several identities. A genderfluid individual’s identity may change rapidly or slowly, but it is most definitely not fixed.GenderfluxSimilar to genderfluid, but the individual’s gender either fluctuates between a set number of genders or fluctuates in intensity.DemigenderHaving a gender that is mostly, but not entirely, a certain gender. “-gender” may be replaced with the specific gender one feels close to. For example, a demiboy identifies partially as a boy, but not completely as one. Often, this “other” part of the identity is nonbinary itself in some way.Leftmost Interior: More Terms and DefinitionsGenders (cont.)Bigender / Trigender / PolygenderIdentifying with two, three, or multiple genders. These can be any genders at all and the individual can feel as if they are a blend of their multiple genders or switch between them. Similar to genderfluid in some senses.GenderqueerNot identifying with traditional genders. Genderqueer individuals feel like they cannot be defined by the categories of “male” and “female” or are not constrained by them.Eurocentricism and GenderMany non-European cultures and countries have concepts of gender that include identities besides male and female. Two-Spirits in some Native American tribes and Hijras in South Asian countries are two more well-known examples. These identities aren’t really “nonbinary,” as the gender binary is a European concept, but they’re important to include nonetheless, as they are potential gender options for people of those cultures.PronounsWhat someone is referred to in the third person besides their name. He/him, she/her, and they/them are common pronoun sets. Other pronoun sets, or neopronouns, include xe/hir and ey/em, and others.  It’s important to respect these at all times, and apologize without making it a huge deal if you make mistakes.Back Panel: Helpful ResourcesVisibility, Education, and Advocacy Networknonbinary.orgUPDATE NOTE: This website no longer existsAwareness, Information, and Resources genderqueerid.comFor those struggling with the pressures of the binary gender system practicalandrogyny.comInformation Centerlifeoutsidethebinary.comExploring identity beyond the gender binary neutrois.meNonbinary Pamphlet #1This pamphlet is dedicated to specific identities and their definitions, but Queer Condensed has a first pamphlet that goes over nonbinary identities more generally.
