I see myself as non-binary. The universe is far too complex for me to be putting myself in categories with other people. I see myself as different to everyone I know.

Exclusively male or female

The more I ponder the more I tend to view gender not as a one-dimensional "spectrum" but rather as a multi-dimensional "space," where there are all sorts of variables you can score higher or lower on.

We who are gender-aware and spend a lot of our time thinking about gender know this, but for simplicity of communication with folks who only think of gender as one or the other (and to whom the notion of "in-between" is a big revelation), we collapse all these dimensions down into the so-called "gender spectrum."

That's why I think it's so easy for transpeople to admit to not falling 100% onto a binary category. It only takes a deviation in one of those many dimensions to knock you off the pure cis- end of the spectrum.

Nonbinary... genderfluid, I suppose, though I tend more towards female.  It all comes and goes like... walking through the colors cast by a stained glass window.

I'm confusing my new colleagues a bit, but they all seem to love my fashion sense. 

Non-binary, genderfluid though and when I flip feminine for a long time I start to think I'm binary. Used to be the case when I flipped masculine I thought I was cis, but somehow that is not happening anymore thank goodness. I mean, I still flip more masculine sometimes, but have no desire to be a masculine man, I am fine with being seen as a feminine guy by people that don't know me.

I'm definitely binary. My BFF is thinking she (goes by that for now, anyway) might be gender fluid, but isn't sure. A buddy of mine (known for 18 years now) just recently started wondering if he might be non-binary. I recommended he come here and chat with some of the people here, but I should also offer to drive him up to one of the group meetings, there's a few non-binary people there.

There may be more non-binaries there than it seems, based on what we're seeing here.

There are 10 kinds of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

A very interesting thread which I just found and question, I guess I'm one of 10 in that quote, binary can be hard to understand sometimes, the survery vote is 50% both ways, I would think most trans individuals would identify as non binary.
I never thought much about being binary or non binary till I married my husband who is very much a binary male, resently at Easter we were going on an afternoon dinner date, I got delayed at the hair salon and was very late, when I apologize to hubby for being late, his reply was ''Pauline sweetie never apologize for being a woman, if a guy spented half a day in a beauty salon getting hair colored I'd kick his arse''  I thought it was a very binary reaction, so being a woman saved my arse LOL.
So I suppose to answer the question, probably since I married hubby 7 years ago I'm now a binary female.

Binary with sprinkles

Peace and love and all that good stuff,

I used to think I was nonbinary, but I've since come to discover that I was a man all along. And a very masculine one at that.

However, my definition of masculine sort of flies in the face of modern interpretations. I'm well versed in the art of introspection, I'm an extremely spiritual person and place as much importance on intuition as I do reason, I'm a true-blue leo (rising sign) and I like crafting fun, entertaining personas, I gesticulate a lot and enjoy putting my rubber face to use making all sorts of silly facial expressions. I guess I would call it a flamboyant sort of hypermasculinity, like a strong-man circus act. Utterly ridiculous, but undeniably manly. Would that make me a bit queer gender-wise? Maybe, maybe not. Don't care.

I believe I'm binary, but I can't really say for sure at this point. Therapy might convince me otherwise.
