A nonbinary person is someone whose gender is neither female nor male. Nonbinary people can have a variety of gender identities and gender expressions, and nonbinary is not a single gender. Nonbinary people are often trans. Nonbinary people often use they/them pronouns but often use other pronouns. Sometimes nonbinary is written with a hyphen (non-binary).

Pronouns are a part of speech that indirectly refer to a noun. Common pronouns that are used for people are she/her/hers, they/them/theirs, and he/him/his. These may be shortened in text or speech with either two pronouns (eg, they/them) or a single pronoun (eg, they).
People may state their pronouns when introducing themselves, on their social media bios, on their email signatures, by wearing buttons or pins, or other means. Sometimes people may use multiple pronouns, such as both they/them and he/him, that are used in different situations or interchangeably.
It is considered very rude, and often transphobic, to intentionally use the wrong pronouns for someone.
