a study by the "national lgbtq task force" in 2012 showed that nonbinary people are significantly more likely to experience physical assault, police harassment, sexual harassment, sexual assault, and bullying than their binary peers. black, asian, and multi-racial people are more likely to identify as nonbinary. nonbinary people are also generally young (below 45) and more highly educated. nonbinary people were also shown to be more likely to be in poverty. they are also more likely to have attempted suicide than binary people. a 2016 study by "the journal of sex research" showed that misgendering someone is a common form of discrimination.
