Non-binary: an introduction

Non-Binary: An Introduction is an accessible guide to non-binary genders that covers frequently asked questions. What does non-binary mean? And what is trans? How does someone know they’re non-binary? Biologically there are only two genders, right?

Responses can be adapted individually: blank lines after each answered question invite non-binary people to share their own thoughts. This gives family members, friends, and partners both a general overview and a personal insight into non-binary experiences.

The guide also offers pronoun examples, common phrases, a glossary of words, and additional resources.

Changes in the revised 2nd Edition include: updated entries (e.g. on detransition and third gender markers), additional definitions (endosex, femme, butch & more), richer colors (printed version), less bright colors & screenreader-friendly fillable fields (digital version), and other small changes, such as fixed spelling mistakes and updated names and bios!

 

This guide is for you if…

...you are non-binary and have been looking for an accessible way to come out to your family and friends

...you are a family member, friend, or partner of a non-binary person and want to support your loved one

...you are a person who simply wants to learn about others’ experiences
