  1. (neologism, informal) Pronunciation spelling of NB: non-binary; having or pertaining to a gender identity that is not strictly female or male, that is, outside of the gender binary.

Today is the eve of International Non-binary People’s Day, which recognizes people who have a non-binary gender identity—one that is not exclusively female or male.
