Am I Nonbinary?

Take this quiz to explore your gender!

A nonbinary person doesn't strictly identify with "male" or "female." They might be a little bit of both, or even neither. Sound like you? We're here to help find out!

What does it mean to be nonbinary?

"Nonbinary" is an umbrella term for anyone who exists outside the male-female gender binary. It's a large category that encompasses many experiences, and there are many different ways to be nonbinary. We talked to gender and identity experts to tell you all about it:


  • Licensed social worker and LGBTQ+ Identity Expert Zoe Stoller explains that "Non-binary is a broad gender and category of genders, which is lovely. It describes any gender identity that is outside of the strict binary of man and woman in whatever way."[1]
  • LGBTQIA+ activist and expert NV Gay explains how the term interacts with transgender identities: "Being non-binary does mean you're trans. Trans is not one simple way of looking. It's not one simple way of being. You know, you can be non-binary and go on hormones. You can be non-binary and have gender-affirming surgeries. Or you cannot. It's really what is best for you."[2]
  • LGBTQ+ studies expert, public speaker, and spiritual guide shawndeez, Ph.D., says, "Give yourself space to begin to entertain the question of, you know, do I actually feel at home in the gender that I was assigned at birth? That's kind of the guiding prompt that I would offer somebody who has that question."[3]
