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.

Get the wannabe non-conformist mug.A non-conformist is somebody whos stands up for what they believe despite what anyone thinks. They can buy what a conformist does not because its in and everyone has but just because they like it. They do things for themselves and not to be excepted by society despite being ridiculed for not having Air Force Ones unless they like them. There isn't a store in the mall called the non-conformist store where people go to be different. Non-conformity is all about doing what you want and not listening to others opinions.
Non-Conformist-I just bought the nicest Air-Forces not because everyone has them but because he likes them
Wanna Be Non Conformist-Ew you're such a conformist everyone has those shoes, I made my own shoes because noone has them you're such a follower.
Non-Conformist-If I like them isn't that all that matters, I mean isn't that what being a non-cofformist is all about doing what you wanna do? If I listen to you and don't buy them won't I be conforming to what your idea of a non-conformist is?
Conformist-uhh..shutup!
