They/Them

How gender neutral language is working for non-binary people,

and how it’s developing in English, Tagalog, Vietnamese, Portuguese and Hebrew.

I started using the term Non-Binary for myself a couple years ago. I knew a few people who identified that way, but for a long time my assumptions about those words made me think they didn’t apply to me. But once I started to embrace the vocabulary, so many things began to make sense. The language directly changed the way I understood the world. And still, that language is unfamiliar to a lot of people, and it’s constantly evolving.
