As New Zealand celebrates Non-Binary Awareness Week, members of the community are sharing their experiences of what it means to be non-binary in the world today.
Non-binary, an umbrella term that refers to several gender identities, denotes people who are not of a binary gender, and may use the term trans or non-binary among others to describe their gender.
While non-binary people can be traced back to ancient civilisations, a new wave of interest in non-binary people and their welfare has swept New Zealand, leaving some members of the community empowered – and others fraught and frustrated.
This week show your support and encourage people to be who they are.
