THIS IS WHAT NON-BINARY LOOKS LIKE

“Some people find they don’t feel comfortable thinking of themselves as simply either male or female,” explains the wonderfully accessible scottishtrans.org. “Instead they feel that their gender identity is more complicated to describe. Some may identify their gender as right in the middle between male and female, while others may feel mainly male but not 100% male (or vice versa, not feel 100% female). Alternatively, they may entirely reject defining their gender in terms of male and female in any way.”

The explainer continues: “As their gender does not conform to traditional, western ideas of gender as binary, they can be considered to be non-binary people.”

This piece is a celebration of our non-binary or “enby” (that’s slang for non-binary) friends. If you’re still learning about what it means to identify as non-binary or genderqueer? Welcome. Let us introduce you to just some of the most recognisable non-binary faces popping up on our telly boxes and laptop screens right now.
