"Am I Nonbinary?" The Key Questions to Ask Yourself to Find Out.
Dr. Z provides 10 essential questions for anyone wondering if they're non-binary. These questions help you dive deep into your relationship with gender and figure out your identity through journaling or therapy exploration.
Understanding non-binary: An umbrella term covering gender identities that don't fit male or female categories. Sometimes sits under the transgender umbrella (trans non-binary), but for many, it's distinct. The key distinction: non-binary means exclusively neither one of the binaries—neither male nor female. Trans people often identify with the other end of the binary exclusively, while non-binary people feel like they're neither/nor.
Three ways to view non-binary identity: between male and female, closer to one gender but not entirely either, or outside the binary system completely. Common statements: "I identify with both," "I don't feel connected to either," "My gender feels fluid," "There's more dimension than simply male or female." Notice the lack of exclusivity—variability and fluidity are key.
The 10 questions include: How do I feel about my gender assigned at birth? How do I feel when people gender me? What are my thoughts on gender identity itself? What about binary gender roles?
