Non-binary is an umbrella term for gender identities that are not exclusively male or female. Individuals who identify as non-binary may feel that their gender identity is somewhere in between male and female, a combination of both, or neither. Some non-binary people may also identify as transgender, while others do not. Non-binary gender identity is distinct from sexual orientation, and non-binary individuals can have any sexual orientation. The experience of being non-binary is diverse and personal, with individuals expressing their gender in various ways.
