Editing Nonbinary gender in fiction

{{featured article}}
{{content warning|spoilers, transphobia/nbphobia}}
This list of [[fictional depictions of nonbinary gender]] is for taking note of all examples of [[nonbinary]] [[gender identity]] in fiction in any kind of media. The media includes animation, board and card games, books and other literature, comics and graphic novels, movies, performance, TV, webseries, and video games. Since most people don't know that people can have a nonbinary gender identity, the way that nonbinary genders are represented in fiction can be a valuable part of nonbinary visibility and awareness. Fiction can also be an outlet for nonbinary people to explore their identities and the possibilities of society's attitudes toward them. These are reasons why representation matters. It's very rare for fiction to have any real representation of nonbinary gender. It's almost as rare for characters to have an undisclosed gender, or to have a fictional sex, which almost but not really counts as nonbinary representation. They're close enough that they are dealt with on this page and the page [[Undisclosed gender in fiction]].

There is a difference between being born with a physical [[intersex]] condition, and having a nonbinary gender identity. Many intersex people identify as just [[female]] or [[male]], not nonbinary. Many nonbinary people are not intersex. If a character has a real-life kind of intersex condition, you should still list them on this page only if they also have a nonbinary gender identity.

If you add a piece of media to this list, please describe exactly which character is nonbinary, and how this is told in canon, or your entry will be deleted. Do not include media here that just has a popular "headcanon" (a fan's imaginary interpretation) of a nonbinary character, because this isn't representation. Please include direct quotes from canon that are evidence that the character is nonbinary.

==Nonbinary genders in fiction==

This section is for the most true-to-life representation of nonbinary gender identities. The story explicitly says that they don't identify as a woman or man, but as a different gender. The characters aren't nonbinary because of having fictional sexes. Their physical sexes and genders assigned at birth are non-intersex or a real-life intersex condition. If their physical sex or gender assigned at birth is undisclosed, their gender identity is still explicitly, specifically labeled as not female or male, but something else. They may or may not take a social or physical transition in their gender expression. They may or may not look androgynous. They may or may not go by gender-neutral pronouns.

===Animation===

* In ''Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann'', the character Leeron states "I'm both and neither a man and a woman."<ref>''Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann'', directed by Hiroyuki Imaishi. Episode 2, 2007.</ref> (Most fans treat Leeron as a gay man.)
* Season four of ''She-Ra and the Princesses of Power'' introduces the nonbinary character Double Trouble, who uses [[singular they]] pronouns and is voiced by nonbinary actor [[Jacob Tobia]].
* In the anime ''Soul Eater'', the character Crona is nonbinary. In a interview{{citation needed}} the writer said that he wanted to make a character that normalizes nonbinary/[[X-gender]], so all the other characters accept Crona's identity without question. (In the original translation they call Crona he/him; this is due to a mistranslation.)
* Shep in ''Steven Universe Future'' is a human nonbinary character (as opposed to the Gems who are nonhuman, see [[Nonbinary_gender_in_fiction#Fictional_sexes|Fictional sexes section of this page]]). Shep uses [[singular they]] and is voiced by [[Indya Moore]].
* In Nickelodeon's ''Middle School Moguls'', one of the teachers, Wren, is nonbinary.<ref>{{cite tweet|user=TimGunn|number=1169338993034461185|title=Schools in session! Don’t forget to tune in this Sunday, September 8th at 11:00 a.m. ET/PT for the premiere of Nickelodeon's Middle School Moguls – starring yours truly as Wren, a non-binary teacher in the Mogul Academy Fashion Branch! #Nickelodeon #middleschoolmoguls #mogulize|date=4 September 2019}}</ref>
* Yuta "Yū" Asuka (飛鳥 悠, Asuka Yūta) from the Tokyo Broadcasting System anime series ''Stars Align'' had a short arc that touched on how they were [[questioning]] their gender identity. During this, they tell Maki that they want to be referred to with [[gender neutral language]] and that they think they are [[X-gender]] but don't want to be categorized. 
* Astolfo from the ''Fate'' series uses ''both'' he/him and they/them pronouns, but presents in a very feminine manner. In their profile in ''Grand Order'' they list their gender as "le secret" per their request, and they use both male and female terms to describe themself, calling themself both a "cute boy", and a "maiden" in different scenes. Quotes from their bio include "Instead of making judgments based off of merits, Astolfo makes all choices based off if it feels good or not." and "Gender means nothing in the face of Astolfo's cuteness! But there's really no way Astolfo could be a girl...".  Despite this many fans treat Astolfo as either a feminine man or a trans woman. Their pronouns also vary depending on the translation, with ''Grand Order''<nowiki/>'s English localization using they/them and ''Apocrypha's'' English dub using he/him.
* Le Chevalier d'Eon from the ''Fate'' series is [[genderfluid]], and accepts being seen as either a man or a woman by the player. Both he/him and she/her [[pronouns]] are used interchangeably, and their "Self Suggestion" skill allows them to alter both their body and aura between being masculine and feminine. The historical figure they are based on was also [[intersex]].
* Enkidu from the ''Fate'' series is genderless and uses they/them pronouns.
* Odee the Okapi is a nonbinary character introduced in the Hulu show ''Madagascar: A Little Wild'', which is a spinoff of the Dreamworks film franchise. Odee is voiced by nonbinary actor [[Iris Menas]].<ref name="Madagascar2021">{{Cite web |title='Madagascar' Spinoff's Pride Episode Introduces Nonbinary Character |last=Henderson |first=Taylor |work=Pride.com |date=8 June 2021 |access-date=12 June 2021 |url= https://www.pride.com/tv/2021/6/08/madagascar-spinoffs-pride-episode-introduces-nonbinary-character|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210609162116/https://www.pride.com/tv/2021/6/08/madagascar-spinoffs-pride-episode-introduces-nonbinary-character |archive-date=17 July 2023 }}</ref>

* When the musical ''Jagged Little Pill'' originally played at the American Repertory Theater in Cambridge, Massachusetts, the character Jo was clearly nonbinary. Their gender identity was important to the plot, and Jo being nonbinary had been confirmed in social media posts by Jo's actor (Lauren Patten, a cis woman). However, when ''Jagged Little Pill'' came to Broadway, Jo was rewritten to be a cis woman, and all mentions of [[gender identity]] as a theme of the musical were removed from publicity materials. Patten deleted her prior social media posts, and even stated falsely in an interview "Jo never was written as anything other than cis." As an additional note, Patten's understudy [[Iris Menas]] is nonbinary and played Jo for one night on Broadway.<ref name="JLP">{{Cite web |title=One Step Forward, Two Steps Back: Broadway's Jagged Little Journey Toward Nonbinary Inclusion |last=Lewis |first=Christian |work=The Brooklyn Rail |date=April 2021 |access-date=12 April 2021 |url= https://brooklynrail.org/2021/04/theater/One-Step-Forward-Two-Steps-Back-Broadways-Jagged-Little-Journey-Toward-Nonbinary-Inclusion|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230302184116/https://brooklynrail.org/2021/04/theater/One-Step-Forward-Two-Steps-Back-Broadways-Jagged-Little-Journey-Toward-Nonbinary-Inclusion |archive-date=17 July 2023 }}</ref>
** In September 2021, the lead producers of ''Jagged Little Pill'' put out a long apology statement, which read in part:
{{quote|In Jo, we set out to portray a character on a [[gender expansive]] journey without a known outcome. Throughout the creative process, as the character evolved and changed, between Boston & Broadway, we made mistakes in how we handled this evolution. In a process designed to clarify and streamline, many of the lines that signaled Jo as [[gender non-conforming]], and with them, something vital and integral, got removed from Jo’s character journey.

Compounding our mistake, we then stated publicly and categorically that Jo was never written or conceived as non-binary. That discounted and dismissed what people saw and felt in this character’s journey. We should not have done that.

We should have, instead, engaged in an open discussion about nuance and gender spectrum.

We should have protected and celebrated the fact that the non-binary audience members saw in Jo a bold, defiant, complex, and vibrant representation of their community.

For all of this we are deeply sorry.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Actor Lauren Patten Speaks Out On Broadway’s ‘Jagged Little Pill’ Controversy & Reveals Her Future With The Show As Producers Apologize For Erasing A Nonbinary Character – Update |last=Evans |first=Greg |work=Deadline |date=18 September 2021 |access-date=19 September 2021 |url= https://deadline.com/2021/09/jagged-little-pill-broadway-producers-nonbinary-erasure-lauren-patten-1234839144/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230201082128/https://deadline.com/2021/09/jagged-little-pill-broadway-producers-nonbinary-erasure-lauren-patten-1234839144/ |archive-date=17 July 2023 }}</ref>}}

==Fictional sexes==

Some characters have a nonbinary gender identity only because they have a fictional kind of a physical sex. Their sex is different than female, male, or any kind of real-life intersex condition. For example, a robot that never had a physical sex, and might be correspondingly genderless. Or characters who have the fictional ability to change their sex at will, and might be said to have a  corresponding [[genderfluid]] identity. Or an alien species that reproduces by different means than humans, resulting in an alien culture with different gender roles. The fictional sexes are used as ''justification'' for these characters having nonbinary gender identities. No real nonbinary people have these sexes, and can't use that justification. As such, these kinds of characters don't really count as nonbinary representation.

=== Animation ===
*''Simoun'' takes place in a world that recognizes three genders: male, female, and a feminine "maiden" gender which everyone is assigned at birth. When people in this world come of age, they're required to give up the "maiden" gender and commit to male or female--those who do not choose have it chosen for them. Several of the main characters, including the two leads, decide that they do not want to be men or women, but rather keep their "maiden" gender, which goes against the rules of society. Despite the maiden gender being feminine, the fact that choosing to keep it is regarded as significantly different from choosing to become a woman shows that it is a third gender role and not the same as womanhood.
*''Steven Universe'' is about an alien kind called Gems, who all look similar to human women, except for the half-human Gem named Steven. The show creator, [[Rebecca Sugar]], says the Gems aren't female: "Steven is the first and only male Gem, because he is half human! Technically, there are no female Gems! There are only Gems!"<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/2e4gmx/i_am_rebecca_sugar_creator_of_steven_universe_and/cjw8e1p [https://web.archive.org/web/20220702054909/https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/2e4gmx/i_am_rebecca_sugar_creator_of_steven_universe_and/cjw8e1p/ Archived] on 17 July 2023</ref> The Gems are called by [[Pronouns#She|she]] pronouns just because it's easy: Sugar said, "There's a 50 50 chance to use some pronoun on Earth, so why not feminine ones-- it's as convenient as it is arbitrary!"<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/2e4gmx/i_am_rebecca_sugar_creator_of_steven_universe_and/cjw8ztw/ [https://web.archive.org/web/20230417032904/https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/2e4gmx/i_am_rebecca_sugar_creator_of_steven_universe_and/cjw8ztw/ Archived] on 17 July 2023</ref> In a later interview, Rebecca stated outright that "the Gems are all nonbinary women. [...] They wouldn't think of themselves as women, but they're fine with being interpreted that way amongst humans." (She also identified herself as a nonbinary woman in this same interview.)<ref name="TheMind">{{Cite web |title=The Mind Behind America's Most Empathetic Cartoon |work=NPR.org |date=14 July 2018 |access-date=27 October 2020 |url= https://www.npr.org/2018/07/13/628885509/the-mind-behind-americas-most-empathetic-cartoon|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221231100935/https://www.npr.org/2018/07/13/628885509/the-mind-behind-americas-most-empathetic-cartoon |archive-date=17 July 2023 }}</ref> Furthermore, Gems can temporarily fuse together to become a combined being. In episode "Alone Together", the aforementioned Steven manages to pull off this skill with human girl Connie, resulting in a fusion named "Stevonnie."

*Izana Shinatose in ''Knights of Sidonia'' is neither female nor male, but has the ability to eventually choose a sex if they fall in love.  Izana's uniform is different from that of her classmates, reflecting their lack of gender (while females have skirts and males wear pants, Izana wears shorts). This gender is given the name of "middlesex" in the second season. Izana's body does eventually become female after falling in love with Nagate, against their conscious wishes and to their dismay.
*The Sailor Starlights in the ''Sailor Moon'' anime are male in their human form, but they can change to female when transformed into Sailor Senshi.

*''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Left_Hand_of_Darkness The Left Hand of Darkness]'' by Ursula K. Le Guin is a classic science fiction novel published in 1976 featuring a race of people whose sexes become male or female only briefly for reproduction, and whose genders can be a variety of masculine, feminine, both or neither.

*"In David Lindsay's ''Voyage to Arcturus'' (1920) a man from earth meets people on another planet who are neither man nor woman so he invents a new pronoun ''ae'' to refer to them."<ref>Suzanne Romaine, ''Communicating Gender.'' p. 343.</ref>
*Bard Bloom's World Tree is a setting with no human species, and many of the intelligent species in that setting have fictional sexes, such as co-lover, both-female, and so on. This includes the protagonist of a book in that setting, ''[http://www.amazon.com/Sythyrys-Journal-Chronicle-Transaffection-Adventure/dp/1451562934 Sythyry's Journal]'', which was first serialized as a blog starting in 2002. Sythyry is a member of a dragon-like species who are all "hermaphrodites" (and not analogous to real-life intersex conditions), and don't identify as female or male. In World Tree society, species is more important than gender, so same-gender relationships are seen as unremarkable, but cross-species relationships are seen as queer, which is a significant plot element in that book. The setting also has a role-playing game handbook, ''World Tree: A role playing game of species and civilization'' (2001). A romance novel in the setting, ''[http://www.amazon.com/MARRIAGE-OF-INSECTS-novel-World/dp/1890096369 A Marriage of Insects],'' deals with the relationships of a group of Herethroy, an insect-like species that has three (arguably four) sexes: male, female, co-lover (a sex necessary for males and females of that species to reproduce), and both-female (a socially unaccepted variant sex, indeterminate between female and co-lover).
*In ''Static'', a romance novel by L. A. Witt, there have always been a marginalized minority of humans capable of changing sex instantly and at will, known as "shifters." Shifters are usually, though not always, genderfluid, having different gender identities at different times, including male, female, and other genders. (Though they only have the ability to change between two sexes.) Alex, one of the protagonists and part of the lead romantic pair, is a genderfluid shifter who is the victim of medical assault to force them to remain in one form, but continues to be genderfluid and experience dysphoria.
*In the book ''Good Omens'' by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, the character Aziraphale (and A. J. Crowley by extension) are described as man-shaped, sexless beings.
*In the Faction Paradox novel ''This Town Will Never Let Us Go...'' by Philip Purser-Hallard (a [[Gender in Doctor Who|Doctor Who]] spinoff), there is a species of posthumans who are engineered to change sex from male to female as they mature. Some of these transformations are never completed. One of the main characters, Keth Marrane, is part of this species and has a body with both male and female characteristics. Marrane is fully happy with this body and is referred to as a "hermaphrodite" by other characters; a word without negative connotations in the cultures that are described. Marrane uses "one" pronouns when narrating.
*Adam Rex's sci-fi novel, ''The True Meaning of Smekday'' (2007), features the Boov, an alien people with seven genders (boy, girl, girlboy, boygirl, boyboy, boyboygirl, and boyboyboyboy) based on their fish-like role in fertilizing an egg after they lay it in a designated part of town. Because of the impersonal way they reproduce, Boov society is egalitarian and aromantic. The sequel, ''Smek for President'' (2015), has a girlboy character named Ponch Sandhandler. She-he is addressed as "ladyfellow," and by she-he pronouns. The movie loosely based on the books, ''Home'' (2015), doesn't directly mention anything about Boov gender, and only refers to any Boov by he pronouns.
*In ''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Left_Hand_of_Darkness The Left Hand of Darkness]'' by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ursula_K._Le_Guin Ursula K. Le Guin], the inhabitants of the planet Gethen are referred to as ambisexual, and lack sex characteristics for the majority of the lunar cycle, which they acquire in order to reproduce.
* In Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett's collaborative novel ''Good Omens,''  Neil Gaiman has confirmed that both of the main characters are non-binary, and they present as different genders at times in both the book and the 2019 tv-series (Crowley presenting as female as a nanny, and Aziraphale presenting as female while possessing madame Tracy). The characters usually present as males, and don't show any inclination to correct people on using masculine pronouns, but this is presented more as them not caring, and less them defining themself as males. The book specifically says that all angels and demons in it are neither male nor female, which is the standard belief about [[Gender variance in Christianity#Angels in Christianity|angels in Christianity]].
* In ''Wyvern'', a kids book by Kyle McGiverin, there is a sentient race of beings called wyverns.

* In Lois McMaster Bujold's science fiction series, The Vorkosigan Saga, major character Bel Thorne is one of a group of humans who were genetically engineered to have both male and female sex organs. This group is called "hermaphrodites" and use the pronoun "it". Bel Thorne is noted to usually have an "ambiguous-to-male" [[gender expression]], but sometimes presents more femininely. Additionally, there is a group of genetically-engineered beings called the "ba" who have no sex organs and are used as servants in the Cetagandan Empire.
* In ''Ice Song'' and ''Tattoo'', fantasy/sci-fi/paranormal books by Kirsten Imani Kasai, the protagonist, Sorykah Minuit, is a type of person known as a "Trader", meaning her physical [[sex]] changes at certain times due to her genetics.

===Comics and graphic novels===

*In ''Cardcaptor Sakura'', a manga series by CLAMP, beings who were created by magic are canonically said to be neither female nor male. They're sexless, but may prefer a gender expression that is female, male, or androgynous. This includes some main characters, but it would be spoilers to say who and how. This is also the case in the anime based on the manga, of the same name.

Outside of the story, Walters said, "They only have one physical sex but they have three socially enforced genders (or four if you count young children, who are seen as genderless until they choose their role in society.) For simplification reasons, in the comic the three main ones are referred to as he, she, and ne. The 'male' role is that of destruction, the 'female' is that of creation, and the third gender is that of preservation." The comic started in 2013 and is still in progress.<ref>''Spectra.''

===TV (live-action)===

*In the ''Star Trek: The Next Generation'' episode "[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Outcast_%28Star_Trek:_The_Next_Generation%29 The Outcast]" the Enterprise encounters an alien race called the "androgynous J'naii", whose society long ago had female and male roles, but their society had become sexless and genderless, which they believe to be more advanced. They have no physical sex differences, and reproduce without copulation. They all dress alike, and ask to be called by [[Pronouns#It|it]] pronouns. The J'naii believe that it's unhealthy to be female or male, and the genderlessness of their society is enforced on all its members. In that episode, a J'naii named Soren is revealed to be secretly a [[transgender women|transgender woman]]. In a reference to real-life "[[conversion therapy]]" used coercively on transgender people to make them not be transgender, the J'naii use brainwashing to force Soren to identify as androgynous rather than female. The episode fails at exploring the possibilities of a genderless society or identity, which is depicted as bland and repressive, but is a decent critique of conversion therapy, as well as a defense of transgender rights.
*The series ''Earth: Final Conflict'' is primarily about interactions between modern-day humans and aliens called Taelons, who seem to have neither sex nor gender. The Taelons use [[Pronouns#He|he pronouns]] for human convenience, but do not identify as male.

==Gender nonconformity in fiction==

This section is for characters who are [[gender nonconforming]] but have a [[binary gender]] identity. That is, they identify as female, or as male, and are therefore not nonbinary. In significant ways, the characters don't conform to the expectations and norms for their gender. Fans may describe these characters as [[genderqueer]], which may be accurate. A character who is gender nonconforming and/or genderqueer isn't necessarily nonbinary, since they may still have a strictly binary gender identity, and they may also be [[cisgender]]. For example, a character who says something like, "I'm all man, and wearing a pink dress doesn't make me any less of a man" is gender nonconforming and perhaps genderqueer, but definitely not nonbinary.

===Animation===

* In the comedy series ''SheZow'', the legacy of a super-heroine has been passed down through generations of grand-aunts to grand-nieces when they inherit a magic ring that grants feminine-themed powers. For the first time, the ring is inherited by a boy, Guy Hamdon. Whenever he's being SheZow, which entails wearing a pink costume with a skirt and long hair, he has to keep up the appearance of being a girl in order to protect his secret identity. If anyone finds out who SheZow really is, his whole family will have to be relocated to the moon. Aside from his hair, SheZow's body doesn't change, and he has to remember to speak in a higher voice. Shezow often insists that his friends who are in the know need to call him by "she" pronouns whenever he appears in public as SheZow, and grumbles whenever they mess it up. When a friend hesitates and asks in private which pronoun Guy prefers, Guy shrugs and replies, "Eh, it depends on what I'm wearing." In other words, Guy's pronoun preference while being SheZow is "she," and is "he" while in his secret identity. Guy overcomes his initial discomfort and finds empowerment and confidence in femininity, even while remaining happily masculine when presenting as a boy. While this comfortable alternation between male and female presentations could be seen as a [[genderfluid]] or [[bigender]] character, the show creator has stated in an interview that, to the best of his understanding, this isn't so: "SheZow is not transgendered. He's a boy, his gender never changes, he's just trapped in a silly costume."<ref>Reiher, Andrea (1 June 2013). "'SheZow' creator talks 'transsexual' criticism, a 'coming out' episode and more". Zap2It. Retrieved 11 February 2014.</ref> As such, Shezow/Guy is a gender nonconforming cisgender boy.
** There are other gender noncomforming characters in Shezow than the title character. Shezow's evil clone, Shezap, can look like Guy or like Shezow. When they open a portal to a gender-swapped alternative universe, Shezow discovers that the version of herself there is Dudepow, a hero with masculine-themed powers who is secretly a girl.

===Books and Literature===

====1972====
*''The Gods Themselves'' by Isaac Asimov - The 2nd part of this book features an alien species that reproduces by different means than humans, resulting in an alien culture with different gender roles. However, the 3 fictional sexes are ''not'' used as justification for these characters having nonbinary gender identities, as the protagonists are depicted as being gender non-conforming by the standards of their own society. Most notable is Dua, the "emotional"/"mid" member of a triad, who has always struggled to fit in with the others of her sex. She's explicitly non-conforming, exhibiting traits normally associated with the "rational"/"left" sex of her species. As a result, her peers use the slur "left-em" against her, which she would eventually reclaim as her own identity, along with "queer". Would she also qualify as nonbinary (technically non-trinary) transgender? This is open to interpretation by the reader.
