Oh, I apologize if my previous response was unclear. Allow me to clarify.

Gender is a social and cultural construct that assigns certain roles, expectations, and characteristics based on perceived biological sex. Typically, society has recognized two binary genders: male and female. However, non-binary individuals don't strictly identify within these traditional gender categories.

Being non-binary means that an individual's gender identity doesn't align exclusively with being male or female. It's about embracing the understanding that gender exists on a spectrum rather than in strict binaries.

For some non-binary people, their experience may involve feeling neither fully male nor fully female or embodying aspects of both genders simultaneously. Others may have entirely different expressions of their gender identity altogether.

The concept of being non-binary challenges societal assumptions about how gender should be defined and opens up space for diverse identities to be recognized and respected.

It's essential to note that each person's experience of being non-binary is unique—there is no single narrative or set definition for what it means to be non-binary. It's all about validating one's personal truth and finding comfort in expressing oneself authentically outside of the traditional male/female framework.

I hope this explanation clarifies the connection between gender and being non-binary. If you have any further questions or need more information, feel free to ask!

Are we confused about what binary is?
