This is an adjective used to indicate anything which acts as if binary genders are superior, erases people whose genders exist outside of the "binary" of men and women, and so on. The noun form is binarism. Binarism is a specific form of transphobia, which means it is a form of sexism. Due to the prevalence of additional genders in many nonwhite cultures, binarism can also be an expression of racism.
Native Hawaiians have a third gender called "Māhū" and their cultural genders are a lot more fluid than general mainland American culture. White people rejecting the existence of Māhū individuals is not only binarist, it is also a racist extension of the ongoing attempts to squash indigenous cultures.

Similar to agender (which means not having a gender), segender is a term that can be used by anyone in any culture to indicate that the person using it does not have any of the genders defined in that person's own culture. Someone who is segender may also be agender if agender is not recognized in that person's culture.
In the United States of America, this would be someone whose gender is not male, female, or any of the genders recognized in the category known as "nonbinary" in those regions where "nonbinary" is recognized.

I have never heard of a word from my culture that really describes my gender, so I just go with segender.

From the Latin "cogn-" meaning to know or understand, and the Greek "nym-" meaning a name or word, a cognymation is a celebration, ceremony, or other gathering in which a person or thing's name is made known. The meaning of the name is often as important to the cognymation as the name itself.
Cognymations are popular amongst people who change their names for deeply personal reasons. For example, many transgender people choose a new name to reflect their gender. Other people change their names for spiritual or religious reasons.
Regardless of the given person's reasons, a sense of a new beginning often accompanies a name change. This is sometimes marked during a cognymation. Actual procedures and methods vary widely, as cognymations are a relatively new phenomenon in Western cultures.

"Hi, Alice! Keep the 10th open if you can," Rebecca said.
"Why's that, what's going on?" Alice asked.
"My name change will be legal by then," she answered, "and that's when my pastor and I will be holding my cognymation. I can't wait to celebrate with everyone. I hope you can make it!"
"Cool! I'll do my best. Why did you pick "Rebecca" again?"
"That's part of what we'll be explaining at the cognymation," Rebecca said with a smile.

Noun - As in sexism or racism, binarism refers to a collection of harmful thoughts, actions, laws, and other social systems that uplift one group of people while erasing or otherwise harming a minority group. In the case of binarism, the word refers to actions and thoughts that promote the gender binary (male/female) while excluding, erasing, or otherwise harming people of other genders or no gender at all. People harmed by binarism are generally people within the nonbinary gender umbrella, or agender. Binarism is often exhibited towards nonbinary people by cis gender and binary trans gender people alike.
The adjective form of binarism is binarist. A specific thought/action/etc that exhibits binarism is said to be binarist in quality.

I wish people would say "honored guests" instead of "ladies and gentlemen" when addressing groups. "Ladies and gentlemen" is so binarist! It makes my heart hurt just to hear it. I really wish binarism wasn't a thing, and that people like me were recognized as being real.

Noun; A nudity-inspired version of the children's game "tag."
Rules:
The person who is "it" strips naked and begins running around tagging people. When someone else gets tagged, they have to remove one article of clothing. When someone becomes fully unclothed, that person is also "it" and helps tag the remaining players. The last person with clothing left on wins.
Variations:
1.) Start off with more than one person who is "it" as otherwise the "it" person can get too tired too quickly.
2.) While stripping an article of clothing, that person is "safe" from immediately being tagged again.
3.) If someone who is "it" tags someone for their last article of clothing, "it" can put that article on and switch sides.
