What are genderqueer and non-binary?
The gender binary is the idea that there are only two possible genders - male and female.
Anyone who identifies as non-binary or genderqueer therefore views their gender as being beyond these confinements.
Non-binary people may also identify as transgender which means their internal experience of gender differs from the one they were assigned at birth.
Genderqueer has a similar meaning to non-binary but can sometimes cause offence if it is viewed as a transphobic slur.
