Non-binary gender

Transgender sidebar Non Binary gender identities are gender identities that fall outside of the gender binary (male and female)—identities which are outside of the gender binary and cis normative gender roles are known therefore as non-binary. Gender Non-binary people may identify as one or more of the following:
 * having an overlap of, or indefinite lines between, gender identity;
 * having two or more genders (being bigender, trigender, or pangender);
 * having no gender (being agender, nongendered, genderless, genderfree or neutrois);
 * moving between genders or having a fluctuating gender identity (genderfluid); or
 * being third-gender or other-gendered, a category which includes those who do not place a name to their gender.

Some genderqueer people also desire physical modification or hormones to suit their preferred expression. Many genderqueer people see gender and sex as separable aspects of a person and sometimes identify as a male woman or a female man, or combine genderqueer with another gender option. It can be helpful for some people to consider gender and sex as two separate things. Genders can include, but are in no way limited to, man/woman, bigender, agender, non-binary, etc. Gender identity is defined as one's internal sense of being a woman, man, both, or neither, while sexual orientation refers to an individual's enduring physical, romantic, and/or emotional attraction to others. As such, genderqueer people have a variety of sexual orientations, just like transgender and cisgender people do. Many genderqueer people identify as trans in more current discussions, as trans simply means that an individual does not identify as the gender they were assigned at birth.

In addition to being an umbrella term, genderqueer has been used as an adjective to refer to any people who transgress distinctions of gender, regardless of their self-defined gender identity, i.e. those who "queer" gender, expressing it non-normatively. Androgynous is frequently used as a descriptive term for people in this category, though genderqueer people may express a combination of masculinity and femininity, or neither, in their gender expression, and not all identify as androgynous. However, the term has been applied by those describing what they see as a gender ambiguity. Some references use the term transgender broadly, in such a way that it includes genderqueer.

General
Some genderqueer people prefer to use gender-neutral pronouns such as one, ze, sie, hir, co, ey or singular "they", "their" and "them", while others prefer the conventional binary pronouns "her" or "him". Some genderqueer people prefer to be referred to alternately as he and she, and some prefer to use only their name and not use pronouns at all.

Many genderqueer people prefer additional neutral language, such as the title "Mx" instead of Mr. or Ms.

In July 2012, Gopi Shankar, a gender activist and a student at The American College in Madurai coined regional terms for genderqueer (பால்புதுமையினர்) people in Tamil during Asia's first genderqueer Pride Parade. Shankar says Tamil is the only language besides English that has given names for all the genders identified so far.

Genderqueer was one of 56 gender identity options added to Facebook in February 2014.

Agender
Agender (from 'a-', meaning "without", and 'gender') people, also called genderless, genderfree, non-gendered, or ungendered people are those who identify as having no gender or being without any gender identity. This category includes a very broad range of identities which do not conform to traditional gender norms. However, Enke notes that people who identify with any of these positions may not necessarily self-identify as transgender.

Neutrois and agender were two of 50 available "custom" genders on Facebook, which were added on February 13, 2014. Agender is also available as a gender option on OkCupid since 17 November 2014.

Gender neutrality
Gender neutrality is the movement to end discrimination of gender altogether in society through means of gender-neutral language, the end of sex segregation, and other means.

United States
The majority of respondents to the National Transgender Discrimination Survey chose "A gender not listed here." The Q3GNLH (Question 3 Gender Not Listed Here) respondents reported being 9 percentage-points (33%) more likely to forgo healthcare due to fear of discrimination than the general sample (36% compared to 27%). 90% reported experiencing anti-trans bias at work and 43% reported having attempted suicide.
