In recent years, many celebrities have come out as “nonbinary,” receiving much celebration and adulation from media outlets, gay and transgender advocacy organizations, and fans.

Identifying as nonbinary means a person identifies as either both male and female or neither. The person will prefer gender-neutral pronouns such as “they/them,” a mix of binary and nonbinary pronouns such as “he/they,” or nonsensical ones like “zie/zir,” “ze/hir,” or “fae/faer.”
