Gender binary is the assumption that people are one of two genders. Non binary is nonconformity to that assumption.
Think -a boy who identifies as a girl but not as female - a girl who identifies as a boy but not as male. Slide these terms around into any respective slot, vary degrees of certainty or disparity. The list, as you might imagine, could be endless - since there are many more than two ways of seeing one's self. Any personal apprehension of gender that doesn't neatly fall exclusively into the binary camps.
