Celebrate International Non-Binary Day with me ✨🏳️‍🌈

Hy Local Guides, :rainbow_flag:

Pride with Local Guides is excited to celebrate :tada: & shine light :sparkles: on this International Non-Binary Day, July 14th. This day is to celebrate & promote awareness about Non-binary spectrum and individuals among the community.

As a Non-Binary individual, I always look out for freedom of expressing oneself. For me, inclusivity has always been “not judging about gender orientation, sexuality & gender expression” and facilities provided by the local businesses.


What does Non Binary mean?

Non Binary is an umbrella term which comes under Transgender :transgender_flag: (as T in LGBTQAI+). As the Binary spectrum of Transgender includes Transwomen & Transmen, Non-Binary is a gender identity that’s not exclusively male or female.

Non Binary identity is always knowing the inner sense of self with identities being diverse & valid.

Types of Non-Binary spectrum.

  • Having a gender that’s neither a male or female.
  • Having a gender with a combination of male & female.
  • Having no gender (agender).
  • Having a gender/gender identity that may change over time (genderfluid).

Note : There’s a lot more types of Non-Binary identity which classifies identity into types of gender identities. Those are derived from the 4 types mentioned above.


How we as a Local Guide celebrate Non Binary Day & be the voice of inclusivity on Google Maps. :sparkles:

When we talk about inclusivity in a business, it means providing space & experience which everyone feels respected, safe and valued. With that in mind, we can celebrate this day with our Non-binary friends by contributing towards Accessibility & Inclusivity.

  • Gender Neutral bathrooms :restroom: - for non binary individuals, accessing safe and comfortable bathroom/toilet spaces can be challenging. By reviewing, adding photos & editing attributes of businesses we visit, Local Guides can help create a more welcoming, inclusive and accessible environment.
  • Reviewing Inclusivity :writing_hand: : Reviews can highlight the inclusive atmosphere of a business and mentioning inclusive ambience & respectful diversity can make way to inclusive contribution.
  • Adding missing Informations/Attributes : if you came to business with Gender Neutral bathroom or is LGBTQ+ :rainbow_flag: Friendly, make sure to edit such attributes on Google Maps.
  • Accessibility information :wheelchair_symbol::person_with_white_cane: : we can add Accessibility information as a photo of entrance or sign board, review & editing attributes of a business. This way local guides can point to accessible LGBTQ+ :rainbow_flag: friendly spaces on Google Maps which includes community spaces to museums.

Let’s celebrate this day with Inclusivity and contributions on Google Maps which promote diversity & ensure every local guide feels seen, heard & valued.

Share your inclusive reviews :writing_hand:/photo :framed_picture: you shared on Google Maps.

For such a detailed explanation for not much talked topic in community
I had already reviewed and highlight these transgender options in some of my review and shared too.

Hereafter will increase and specially look for it in my review to contribute as local guide.
