about international observance in July
This edit expands the "Non-Binary Awareness Week" entry with further information, evidenced by inline citations. This edit also re-orientated the old "YGender" reference, whose URL had changed, therefore leaving it as a bad link.

Revision as of 14:37, 31 December 2020

International Non-Binary People's Day is observed each year on 14 July and is aimed at raising awareness and organising around the issues faced by non-binary people around the world.[1][2][3] The day was first celebrated in 2012.[4] The date was chosen for being precisely between International Men's Day and International Women's Day.[5][6]

Most countries in the world do not recognize non-binary as a legal gender, meaning most non-binary people still have a gendered passport and official identification.[5] Australia, Bangladesh, Canada, Denmark, Germany, India, the Netherlands and New Zealand include non-binary gender options on passports, and 18 US states allow residents to mark their gender as 'X' on their driving licence.[7]

Non-Binary Awareness Week is the week starting Sunday[8]/Monday[9], surrounding International Non-Binary People's Day (14th July). This is a LGBTI awareness period dedicated to those who don't fit within the traditional gender binary[10], i.e. those who do not exclusively identify as a man or a woman, or who may identify as both a man and a woman, or may fall outside of these categories altogether.[11] It is promoted by Twitter as @NBWeek.[12]
