Gender Non-Conforming is a term used to refer to people who do not conform to the stereotypical or social expectations of their gender or birthsex. Their gender expression will always be different from their actual gender. Gender Non-Conforming is also commonly abbreviated to GNC.
Gender Non-Conforming is a label that can be used for all cisgender, transgender or non-binary people. The only requirement for GNC is that you're gender expression is different from your gender. This could be seen through using different pronouns (e.g a female going by he/him), dressing differently (e.g a nb person dressing femininely) or committing in stereotypes that match other genders (e.g a man wearing feminine makeup). These are all ways you can chose to identify.
Gender Non-Conforming can also be seen through biological gendered behaviour e.g how someone may walk or act. These parts are not a choice as they are apart of your neurological configuration.
Gender Non-Conforming is an umbrella term for many labels that related to not conforming to gender expectations. E.g tomby (masculine female), sissy (feminine male), butch (masculine lesbian), drag queen. Some people consider GNC under the Trans Umbrella and apart of the Trans Community however some people rather still be considered cis.
Examples of GNC are: masculine or androgynous females, feminine or androgynous males, feminine or masculine non-binary. Feminine females, masculine males and androgynous non-binary are not GNC.

Someone who, in their attempt to be an anti-conformist, is in reality conforming to a general subculture. These individuals usually view themselves as higher-ranking in culture, taste, and style; they pride themselves on liking obscure media. In addition, they are touchy when they are confronted with this reality.
(Similar to the Hipster movement, the exception in that case is that the Hipster is aware of their conforming to that subculture).

A form of gender non-conformity, it is the act of not conforming to the pronouns typically associated with one’s gender. Examples of this include a woman using he/him pronouns or a man using she/her pronouns. Both cis and trans people can be pronoun non-conforming.
Person 1: Eric left his jacket! Will you bring it to him?
Person 2: Actually, Eric is pronoun non-conforming. So, yes, I'll bring the jacket to her.

Very similar to conformists or popular culture... but actually a subculture of pop. If sixty kids shop at Hot topic then they are mass-marketed non-coformists. They used to listen to Marilyn before he released "AntiChrist Superstar" so they justify that they are not posers. Next gen version of these kids are know described as Scene.
Choir of 13 angst-ridden kiddies singing in unison:
"one is different but there are a million the same!"
After seeing this specticle one realizes...Holy shite!
All Those kids are practicing mass-marketed non-conformism!
