According to a new study from the Trevor Project, 26% of LGBTQ+ youth identify as non-binary. The study also found that 20% are questioning or not sure in regards to their gender identity.
The study gathered data from 35,000 LGBTQ+ youth between the ages of 13 to 24. Among the non-binary youth in the study, “28% were as bisexual, 27% were pansexual, 22% queer, 14% lesbian, 6% gay and 2% question their sexuality.” The study also found that most non-binary youths tended to use pronouns that fall outside of the gender binary.
Pronouns like they/them and neopronouns such as xe/xem were commonly used. The report goes on to reveal that many non-binary people use they/them pronouns alongside “binary gender” pronouns.
