The types of flags used commonly today are a product of what historians call the Age of Revolution. This is when French and American rebels began to use simple, functional, and easily recognizable flags to identify their troops (read more about the history of flags here). So, it seems very apropos that today’s gender revolution is causing a landslide of similarly functional and recognizable flags, typically consisting of simple and replicatable stripes or shapes. In April 2022, Statistics Canada released findings from the 2021 census, making Canada the first country to ask a core question about gender identity, and found that 41,355 Canadians aged 15 and over identified as nonbinary.

In the mid-1990s, the term "gender queer" emerged in connection with the American transgender rights activist Riki Wilchins, who in 2002 co-edited a collection of articles, GenderQueer: Voices from beyond the Sexual Binary. [71] Wilchins used the expression as early as 1995 in the In Your Face newsletter to argue against gender discrimination. [72] In 1997, Wilchins announced they identify as genderqueer in their autobiography. [73] In 2017, they published a collection of articles titled Burn the Binary! [74]

Non-binary people as a group vary in their gender expressions, and some may reject gender identity altogether. [13] Some non-binary people are medically treated for gender dysphoria with surgery or hormones, as trans men and trans women often are.

S. citizens regard themselves as transgender, a term referring to those whose gender identities are at odds with their biological sex. The term is an expansive one, however, and may apply to other individuals as well, from the person whose behavior purposely and dramatically diverges from society's traditional male/female roles to the "agender", "bigender" or "third gender" person whose self-definition lies outside of the male/female binary altogether. In short, those counted under this term constitute a wide array of people who do not conform to, and may actively challenge conventional gender norms. Géczi, János (2006).
