There are about 1.2 million nonbinary LGBTQ adults in the United States, according to a recent study by the Williams Institute at UCLA School of Law. Until now, there hadn’t been a comprehensive study on nonbinary people.

The UCLA survey found that 76% of LGBTQ nonbinary adults are between 18 and 29. Most are white, live in urban areas and struggle to make ends meet, the study said.

But Luna added that many nonbinary people they work with “who don't speak English, who speak Spanish, who were born outside the U.S., who are a bit older than the age range” in the survey “may have different contexts (for nonbinariness) in their respective cultures.”

Further, Julien said nonbinary people of color share a feeling of alienation within the LGBTQ community.

“I think it’s pretty alarming that we still have to fight for visibility in issues that most pertain to us, and we’re not able to talk about them because it’s always someone who is white at the forefront,” Julien said.
