Nonbinary rights

==What are Nonbinary Rights?==
Nonbinary rights are human rights.
These rights apply to all people, and therefore apply to nonbinary people. The rights of nonbinary people, like all minorities, are often violated more often than those who are in the majority. The ways in which these rights are often violated are different than those in other groups. 
This is a general list of nonbinary rights. Each section lists sources with detailed information about how these rights can and should be applied.
