Did you know that 220,000+ people per month search Google with a question about being non-binary? This tells me loads of people are asking Google for answers about:
what non binary terms mean OR being non binary themselves OR what to call someone who identifies as non-binary
Many of the non binary questions are similar…asking the same question, differently…or using related words and acronyms (e.g., genderfluid or enby). So I created a mini-glossary of terms.
