Nine | 17776 | Jon Bois | Non-binary | 2017 | A fictional depiction of the Pioneer 9 space probe. Bois also considered including a non-binary human character, but was unable to do so "completely matter-of-factly".[131] |
Background
Much like with gay and binary transgender characters, representation of non-binary people is rare in fiction. Eighty percent of non-binary people noted in a survey from Trans Media Watch that they felt media coverage of non-binary characters is poor.[132] The Daily Dot has noted that in Japanese media, genderqueer identities are often portrayed as a joke, featuring "flamboyantly gay people who crossdress" rather than serious explorations of gender performance.[133] However, in May 2015, Flavorwire stated that genderqueer characters are getting "increasing critical and aesthetic prominence" in literature.[46]
