What is Global Non-Binary Peopleâ€™s Day

Team info
Description	For those who don't know, Global Non-Binary People's Day (August 19th) celebrates gender identities that not come between male and female gender. While we have a lot to celebrate, there are also some ways in which we struggle within the LGBT community or people of bisexual flag or bi flag and beyond. Global Non-Binary Peopleâ€™s Day: Global Non-Binary People's Day is the new holiday for all those who identify outside gender binaries and belong to the bisexual or bi flag. Coined by Keenan Keller, it spread across social media in a tweet that quickly went viral, inspiring people to propose that November 30th should be the first-ever International Non-Binary People's day. The call was opened to everyone, and soon we were joined by dozens of activists and organizations from all around the world, leading to hundreds of supporters in its creation. Each year, global non-binary peopleâ€™s day (INGPD) is a worldwide opportunity for non-binary individuals and allies to make their voices heard! It is celebrated on October 31st; however, if it does not fall on that day, it will be celebrated the following day. November 20th is Worldwide Non-Binary People's Day. It's a day to celebrate the non-conforming genders outside the binary male/female gender system. The holiday has its roots in the transgender community. Still, it can be a day for everyone who doesn't identify with the gender consigned to them at delivery to feel recognized and welcome in their communities. To fully appreciate and celebrate non-binary people, we must first understand what they are and how they're different from binary trans individuals, who classify as men or women (or masculine or feminine). History: In 2001, the Intersex Society of North America changed its name to the more inclusive Intersex Campaign for Equality and then again to Organization Intersex International. In 2002, OII-Australia was established, and in 2003 OII-USA was founded. In 2006, OII-UK was founded by Morgan Carpenter and others as an offshoot of a campaign by Morgan to get an "X" sex descriptor on UK passports, similar to the "X" gender descriptor that exists on some Australian identity documents. In 2007, a meeting in Chicago led to establishing an American affiliate, OII-USA Inc. In 2009 at a meeting in Brighton, OII-UK became associated with the International Lesbian and Gay Association (ILGA) as an official ILGA committee. In 2010 at a meeting in Malta, OII-Malta was established. Also, in 2010 at a meeting in Paris, I joined with other activists from Australia and New Zealand to form OII Australia (previously known as XYDSI). The first annual Non-Binary People's Day (NBD) was held in 2007. In 2015, an Australian affiliate called OII Australia (XYDSI) celebrated its 10th anniversary and NBD 2015. Things to support non-binary people: To celebrate Global Non-Binary People's Day, I want to highlight a few things we can do to better support, non-binary people. They need our support. Treat them the same as you would binary people. Everyone wants to be treated with respect, kindness, and dignity. Listen to their pronouns and use them. Many lesbian flag or bi flag people use gender-neutral pronouns like they/them/their, but so do many non-binary people. Avoid making assumptions about their identity or â€œcalling them outâ€ if they donâ€™t come out as trans or non-binary first. If they tell you something about their identity, listen and accept it without judgment. Ask how you can help before making assumptions about what you should do for them. Non-binary people are people too! They want to help themselves and others when they require help, so learn how to help them instead of assuming what they need from you. Don't assume that because someone is gender non-conforming or genderqueer, they are automatically trans or non-binary. This can be offensive because it implies that all gender-nonconforming and genderqueer folks are trans or not binary, which isnâ€™t always true. Be sure to ask. Conclusion: When you think about gender, do you see it only as a spectrum of femininity and masculinity? That may well be because of your cultural conditioning. But many no binary people not only recognize masculine and feminine genders but also see an even wider spectrum that includes "gender fluidity," the ability to move between masculinity and femininity, "androgyny," a mix of both; â€œagender,â€ having no gender. The international binary day is a way to make related people feel more comfortable about their gender.
