non-binary media coverage

"Nonbinary gender is an umbrella term covering any gender identity that doesn't fit within the gender binary. The label may also be used by individuals wishing to identify as falling outside of the gender binary without being any more specific about the nature of their gender."

Understanding non-binary people: a guide for the media: http://transmediawatch.org/Documents/non_binary.pdf

• Non-binary people are individuals who don't feel male or female. They may embody elements of both or feel to be something different.
• Non-binary people use a range of different terms to describe themselves.
• Non-binary people feel invisible. Media ignore them as media consider gender being the sole focus  of the coverage. In fact, media coverage of the non-binary is mostly described as ignorant.
• Poor public understanding is the main reason of street harassment against non-binary people.
• Non-binary people just want to lead a normal life and be respected as male or female individuals are.

This is a very simple and direct guide which can help people understand what non-binary means and how non-binary people feel about mass media. Media tend to ignore this topic as they consider female or male being the only two existing genders. Non-binary might be seen as 'abnormal' by some people as mass media have a great influence on their minds. This is why non-binary people do not want media to hide their identities, their stories. All they need is respect, dignity and acceptance.
