"(WBNG Binghamton) From the moment a baby is born, we ask if it's a boy or a girl -- but those generally-accepted gender designations are not true for everyone.

"There's the misconception and unfortunately, it's one of those unquestioned truths in life, that you can only be male or female," said Sapphire Crimson Claw [name changed for privacy], of Endicott.
Sapphire is non-binary.

"I'm not trying to become male, I'm just trying to become less female," said Sapphire. "There is a significantly large number of people all around the world who think neither of these labels fit me, or I'm a combination of both."
