We encourage everyone at Carnival UK to Be curious, Be you, Belong and in support of International Non-Binary People’s Day we’ve curated some short informational videos to help colleagues learn more about non-binary people and understand their lived experiences.

Non-binary people explain what non-binary means to them
TEDx; Understanding non-binary, Excerpts from a correspondence
Non-binary is used to describe people who feel their gender cannot be defined within the margins of gender binary. Instead, they understand their gender in a way that goes beyond simply identifying as either a man or woman.
Because non-binary includes anyone that doesn’t fit the traditional narrative of male or female, non-binary communities are incredibly diverse. Non-binary people may identify as both male and female or neither male nor female. They may feel their gender is fluid can change and fluctuate or perhaps they permanently don’t identify with one particular gender.
All this week employee-led network Athena, with the support of Spectrum, are raising awareness of what it means to be non-binary – see all events and activities here.
