men and women.
Non-binary individuals are not limited to any specific sex or birth assigned
gender, and can present in many ways, masculine, feminine, or, most commonly, androgynous.
While most non-binary individuals use they/them pronouns, it ultimately comes down to the specific
person and what they feel most comfortable. The same goes for gendered terms, most preferring to be referred to with more neutral terms.

person, answers appear to vary.
“I’
m non-
binary, by the
way, and I’d really appreciate it if you referred to me with they/them.”
“Of course! I respect you and your identity.”
