gender self-identification

非二元性别（英语：Non-binary gender）、性别酷儿（英语：genderqueer）和X性别（日语：Xジェンダー）是处于二元性别以外的性别认同。非二元性别认同可以归于作为伞状术语的跨性别概念之内，因为绝大多数非二元性别人士的性别认同都与其指定性别不同。不过，并非所有非二元性别人士都视自己为跨性别者。

貝夫·傑克森受訪時表示：「由於學校對跨性別問題的過度關注，導致女同志面臨消失的危機。」此外，她還擔憂：「如果你不接受他人的自我宣稱（英语：Gender self-identification），那麼你就會自動被貼上恐跨的標籤，這意味著你不能再討論生理女性的生活以及女同志的現況。最令人驚訝的是，我們逐漸發現女同志在LGBTQ+圈子內不再受到歡迎。」
