History
In 1776, the Public Universal Friend identified as a genderless evangelist, and afterward shunned both birth name and gendered pronouns,[1][2] an early instance of an American publicly identifying as non-binary.[3]
In 1781, Jens Andersson of Norway, assigned female at birth but identifying as male, was imprisoned and put on trial after getting married to Anne Kristine Mortensdotter in a Lutheran church. When asked about his gender, the response was "Hand troer at kunde henhøre til begge Deele" ("He believes he belongs to both").[4]
In 2012, the Intersex & Genderqueer Recognition Project was started to advocate for expanding gender options on official documentation.[5] In 2016, Elisa Rae Shupe was the first person to have a non-binary gender on official documents in the United States.[6]
Symbols and observances
Many flags have been used in non-binary and genderqueer communities to represent various identities. There are distinct non-binary and genderqueer pride flags. The genderqueer pride flag was designed in 2011 by Marilyn Roxie. Lavender represents androgyny or queerness, white represents agender identity, and green represents those whose identities which are defined outside the binary.[9][10][11] The non-binary pride flag was created in 2014 by Kye Rowan.[12] Yellow represents people whose gender exists outside the binary, purple represents those whose gender is a mixture of—or between—male and female, black represents people who have no gender, and white represents those who embrace many or all genders.[13]
Genderfluid people, who fall under the genderqueer umbrella, also have their own flag. Pink represents femininity, white represents lack of gender, purple represents mixed gender or androgyny, black represents all other genders, and blue represents masculinity.[10][14]
Agender people, who also sometimes identify as genderqueer, have their own flag. This flag uses black and white stripes to represent an absence of gender, and a green stripe to represent non-binary genders.[15]
International Non-Binary People's Day is celebrated on 14 July.[16][17][18] There are other observances which include non-binary participation. Some of these observances are:
International Transgender Day of Visibility, observed on 31 March.[19][20]
International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, and Transphobia, observed on 17 May.[21]
