In the typical gender binary, we refer to boys and men with "he" pronouns and girls and women with "she" pronouns. Not everyone slips seamlessly into this mold. About 1 in 4 LGBTQ youths identify as nonbinary, or someone who does not identify within the traditional gender dichotomy, a new study from The Trevor Project released on Tuesday found. A separate study from the Williams Institute at UCLA School of Law found that the U.S. is home to 1.2 million nonbinary LGBTQ adults. Only half of those who identify as nonbinary also identify as transgender, according to The Trevor Project. Even within the term "nonbinary," there is an umbrella of identity labels utilized by people to describes themselves, including "genderqueer" and "gender non-conforming," according to the study. Advocates for the transgender and nonbinary communities implore the importance of correct pronoun usage to affirm someone's identity – and note that incessant misgendering could have consequences. "The more frequently someone has their pronouns disrespected or not used, the greater the impact on their mental health, and the greater their impact on their likelihood of considering or attempting suicide," Amit Paley, CEO of The Trevor Project, says.
