List of non-binary political office-holders

Last updated

This is a list of officeholders which openly self-identify as non-binary (i.e. genderqueer) or agender, bigender, genderfluid, genderqueer, or otherwise identify as under the non-binary gender umbrella. There has been an increase in non-binary legislators in recent years. The LGBTQ+ Victory Institute recorded that 52 officials were under the non-binary gender umbrella in 2024, an increase of 69.6 percent from the year before, [1] while the Orie Givens, Vice President of Communications, for the same organization, described the legislators work as "pivotal" to resist efforts to "restrict identity to the gender binary." [2]

This list is organized alphabetically by surname (i.e. last name), or by a single name if the individual does not have a surname. Some officeholders listed were not elected while out as non-binary, and either came out, or were outed, at a later date.
