Survey Results: Nonbinary Identity

In a question regarding whether participants identify as nonbinary, the options given were

Yes, nonbinary describes my gender identity overall (388 participants, 26.29%)

Yes, nonbinary is one of the genders I identify with (556 participants, 37.67%)

No, but I don’t mind being referred to as such (275 participants, 18.63%)

No, and being referred to as such is misgendering (182 participants, 12.33%)

There was also an “other” option, where participants could write their answer if it did not fit one of the four given. These responses were divided into four additional categories.

Nonbinary is both my overall gender identity, and one of the genders I identify with (25 participants, 1.96%)

The nonbinary label is technically correct, but I prefer not to use it (23 participants, 1.56%)

Whether I use the nonbinary label depends on context (15 participants, 1.02%)

Other (12 participants, 0.81%)

These results were compared to data regarding whether participants identified as fully male and fully female, as one full binary gender, or as neither binary gender.

This analysis found that participants who were both male and female were significantly less likely than participants overall to identify as nonbinary, either as an overall identity or as a single gender (297 participants, 55.83% of participants who were both male and female, compared to 63.96% of total participants). They were also significantly more likely than participants overall to feel misgendered by the label “nonbinary” (94 participants, 17.67% of participants who were both male and female). 

Participants who were neither male nor female were significantly less likely than participants overall to feel misgendered by the label “nonbinary” (65 participants, 5.69% of participants who were neither male nor female). They were also significantly more likely than participants overall to identify as nonbinary, either as an overall identity or as a single gender (302 participants, 74.75% of participants who were neither male nor female, compared to 63.96% of total participants).

Tliagender Pride Flag

Tliaspec/tmesospec (tliagender/tmesogender spectrum)/tliaty, transliaspec/transmesospec (transliagender/transmesobinary spectrum)/transliaty/tmesobinary, or simply TLIA (translia), transmeso/tmeso: umbrella term for trans individuals who fits both “mia-” and “fia-” sides of the viabinary-to-aptobinary spectrum.

It's similar to transavire (transgenderavire), tbingender/TBIN (transbin/transbingender), tlideospec/tlideo (tlideogender/tlideobinary), and tlingender (TLIN/translin)/translingender. It could also anyone who fits both tmaingender and tfeingender (TMAIN/TFEIN) spectrums.

do you have a coining post for yesbinary? i saw it on your pronouns page and i really liked the term and flag but cant find them on here

It's a term I made up a while ago, and I designed a flag recently because I was bored. Never officially made a coining post.

Abinary Ambinary Pride Flag

Amabinary/nymambinary/nymamby or ambiabinary/ambiabin (ambiaphorian/abinambinary or amaphorian/ambiaby/ambiaby) [apisambinary/ambiapsgender/ambips/ambiaps]: being ambinary and abinary/aphorian.

Ambinary: experiencing both binary genders.

Abinary/aphorian: experiencing a genderness that is completely unrelated to maleness, masculinity, femaleness, or femininity, and is nowhere in between those things.

This can be for any reason. Some examples include: genderfluid, pangender/omnigender, multigender/polygender, plurigender, varsex/intersex/altersex/aldernic, GNC/PNC, system member plurality/medianity, centrigender/circa-binary, "both neither", gendervast/gendercollector, cusper/evenic, cross-aligned/cronant-aligned, liaspec/mesospec exospec/abiaspec, bonusbinary...

Abinaryn't Pride Flag

Abinaryn't (nonabinary/non-abinary/nonabin or nonab/non-ab/naby): not abinary; an umbrella term for anyone who is not abinary.

Flag colors obtained from mixing stripes from aptobinary, ambinary, and midbinary flags. This is inclusive of trans, non-binary, and cis individuals (plus viabinary, ideobinary, mesobinary, etc.).

[multigenderswag]

I learned the word ambinary (binary ambigender, being both binary genders). but idk if it's right the way it's worded. but pretty sure many people use just "male-female bigender" or androgyne to mean that, right‽ I like how ambonec (being both yet neither at once) is worded

That feels like the more official version of "yesbinary"

Ambonec is very cool! They also have a pretty flag iirc

[multigenderswag]

idk why it annoys me so much that people tag bigender posts with nonbinary. like some bigender people ARE nonbinary. but it still irks me. my current guess is because I hiss and spit at everything that has the smallest chance at intending to degender me

For me, it feels similar to when aromantic posts get tagged with asexual. Do aro and ace communities have a lot of overlap? Yeah! Are a lot of aro people ace? Also yes! And that's great! But some aro people are not ace (like me), so it gets very frustrating when they're treated as synonyms. Especially in the case of bigender/nonbinary, since having them treated as synonyms leads to misgendering which is hurtful in addition to being annoying.

[multigenderswag]

holy shit reading the word "degendering" made something click in my brain like. there's a word for that?!??!?!?!?!!

anyways degendering is so fucking dysphoric for me i cannot describe how much i hate being boiled down to Just Nonbinary

its not that being nonbinary is a bad thing its just that It's NOT Me stop trying to Make It me

There sure is a word for that! I'm not sure how commonly used it is, and I've mostly seen it in the context of binary trans people (ex referring to a binary trans man who uses he/him with they/them pronouns to avoid acknowledging he's a man), but it's definitely an issue with multigender people as well! I can't even count the number of times I have explicitly stated my pronouns are he and she and people call me they/them.

Being degendered is incredibly dysphoric for me too. Honestly, it's often more dysphoric than being misgendered as a binary girl. I get dysphoria from being told I'm NOT one of my genders (that's why "non men" is so awful for me), and being degendered just doubles that dysphoria by erasing both of my genders. Even when people are trying to be supportive of me not being cis, treating me like I have no gender at all ends up making me feel worse.

Nonbinary people are great, but I'm just... not nonbinary, and it hates that people can't seem to comprehend that "both binary genders" is a different concept from "neither binary gender."

Maybinary Pride Flag

Maybinary (mayby/maybies or maybenary): someone who may be binary and/or may not be binary (maynby/maynb or maynonbinary); maybe being aptobinary, maybe not (maybinaryn't/maybenaryn't).

Maybinaries could be yesbinary (ambisobinary, ambinary/ambibinary or mesobinary) and/or nobinary (abinary or exobinary), semibinary (demibinary, half-binary or hemibinary) or seminonbinary (semienby/seminby, demienby/deminby/deminonbinary or heminonbinary/hemienby/heminby), abrobinary or aptobinary (exorgender), or anonbinary (binaryn't nonbinaryn't).

Usually, if someone asks "are you a boy or a girl?" or "are you binary?" you answer "maybe" (or "maybe yes, maybe not") or "so-so" (sobinary/sosobinary). Useful for questioning.

I've jokingly referred to myself as "yesbinary" before, but now I'm kind of considering using that as an actual gender label

[multigenderswag]

i get that maybe my labels (I use both bigender and genderfluid) might fall under the “non binary umbrella” but i get super uncomfortable when people call me nb???

like no. I’m not non binary. my genders are literally the two binary ones. i am the binary. don’t call me they/them. avoid using non-gendered terms for me (person, sibling, partner, etc.) don’t be a coward. im a man and a woman. act like you acknowledge that.

is this selfish to ask? i get some people might get all flustered when it comes to picking he or she or whatever but i think i make it very clear that as long as it’s one of those i don’t care which one you pick.

Absolutely! Just because I would technically qualify as nonbinary doesn't mean I have to feel comfortable using that label for myself. I'm very much not nonbinary! I have jokingly described myself as "yesbinary" before because I did not say "none of the above" to the gender binary, I said "both of the above."

They/them are probably the most dysphoria inducing pronouns for me. I don't get dysphoria from nongendered terms (I am a person, calling me a person is fine) but I don't like when people always use those instead of terms that actually give me euphoria (my mother uses daughter, child, and kid for me but has never to date called me her son). I also despise nonbinary specific terms like enby/enban or Mx.

That's not at all selfish! You're not nonbinary and you have every right to not want to be called nonbinary, because that is not your gender. Calling you nonbinary is misgendering you and it's not selfish to not want to be misgendered.
