International Non-Binary People’s Day is July 14 each year—exactly halfway between International Women’s Day (March 8) and International Men’s Day (Nov. 19). The day increases the visibility of non-binary individuals and the unique challenges they face.
According to the Human Rights Campaign, “Non-binary is a term used to describe gender identities that do not fit within the traditional categories of male or female. This identity challenges the binary concept of gender that society typically adheres to, acknowledging the diversity and fluidity of gender experiences. For those who identify as non-binary—a term used to describe genders besides just male or female—but not as transgender. It is also for those who identify as both transgender and non-binary simultaneously (e.g., ‘trans non-binary’).”
