In the LGBT Community

There are some people who have started rejecting the gender binary as a whole. Postgenderism is a term used to describe the social concept of rejecting gender, and the systems that control it in society. They subscribe to the idea that the dismantling of the gender binary would make a safe space for all expressions, and thus make society better as a whole.

Ball culture is an example of how the LGBT community interprets and rejects the gender binary. Paris is Burning, a film directed by Jennie Livingston, depicts New York's ballroom scene in the last 1980's. To compete in the Balls, men, women, and everyone in between create costumes and walk in their respective categories, some being Butch Queen, Transmute Realness, and Femme Queen. During the Balls, the gender binary is thrown out the window, and the people competing are allowed to express themselves however they interpret the category. Within the scenes of people competing in various categories there's a narrative that describes life outside the gender binary in New York. Since the film came out there's been a decline in the Ballroom scene do to the rise of media and the appropriation of the Drag culture (NYT article).

Rejection

#DeGenderFashion

Gender non-conformity in clothing is does not have widespread support, and has historically been banned in many cultures.[1] The United States has a history of laws and policies against cross-dressing, such as the "walking while trans" law and "three-article rule" that punished people that dressed in a way that defied the gender binary.[1] The hashtag movement to degender fashion was created by transfeminine writer and activist Alok Vaid-Menon, which seeks to separate clothing from cultural gender norms. [2] They share fears and experiences of violence due to existing as openly gender nonconforming and declare that degendering fashion "should be understood as an anti-violence imperative".[3] There are public figures that also oppose the gender binary by wearing clothing not typically associated with their perceived gender, such as Prince, David Bowie, Kurt Cobain, Jaden Smith, Ruby Rose, Rain Dove, Billy Porter, and Harry Styles. [2][4][5]

Harry Styles' appearance on the cover of American Vogue in 2020 was the first instance a cisgender man doing so by himself.[6] This was groundbreaking as well as controversial due to the fact that on the cover he wore both a dress, a clothing item associated with women, as well as a blazer, which is associated with men.[6][7] His embrace of clothing associated with women and men is a rejection of the gender binary.[7]

Ruby Rose wrote, produced, and starred in a short film titled Break Free, in which Ruby appears wearing feminine clothing and makeup and then removes it, replacing it with masculine clothing.[8][9] The video's description on YouTube describes it as, "A short film about gender roles, Trans, and what it is like to have an identity that deviates from the status quo".[8] The video went viral, with millions of views within the first two weeks of its release in 2014, and inspired public discourse about transness and the gender binary.[9]

#IAmNonbinary

#IAmNonbinary is a social media hashtag that gives nonbinary users a specific platform to elevate their stories and share pride in existing outside the gender binary. [10] The hashtag has been used by people and celebrities alike, including musician and actor Janelle Monáe.[10][11] Other public figures that identify outside the gender binary include Sam Smith, Indya Moore, Brigette Lundy-Paine, King Princess, Johnathan Van Ness, Bex Taylor-Klaus, Amandla Stenberg, Demi Lovato, and more.[12][13][14]

Violence against non-cisgender individuals

Transgender individuals are at a greater risk of physical and sexual intimate partner violence than cisgender individuals.[15] The rates of intimate partner violence among transgender populations are referred to as “epidemic levels” and they are classified as a high risk population.[15] Discrimination against transgender individuals is believed by researchers to contribute to greater risk of intimate partner violence.[15] This is especially prominent in areas where gender identity is not legally protected against discrimination.[15]

Health disparities

An individual's discomfort due to incongruence with their gender identity and sex assigned at birth used to be classified as a mental illness.[16][17] "Gender identity disorder" entered the DSM-IV in 1980 and was used by doctors to pathologize transgender individuals.[16][17] While it was updated to the term "gender dysphoria" when the DSM-V was published in 2013, transgender health is otherwise largely absent from medical curriculums.[16][17][18] This is especially evident for nonbinary transgender individuals, whom face greater health disparities than both cisgender and binary transgender individuals due to the lack of culturally competent healthcare providers versed in nonbinary health.[19] Health systems remain cisnormative and discriminative, which lead to adverse health outcomes for transgender populations.[16][19]
