Being Non-Binary ─ BBC Radio 1

24-year-old Ellis doesn't identify as female or male - Ellis is non-binary. But what does that mean?

In preparation for a fashion show, Ellis takes us on a personal journey into their world.

Meeting Ellis's mum, uni mates and boyfriend, we learn why Ellis’s journey to being non-binary has not always been easy. For years they didn’t know what it meant to feel neither male or female - facing verbal and social media abuse for years.

We follow Ellis as they prepare for a fashion show that embraces all identities - a world where Ellis can finally be Ellis. Their aim? Simply to show the world that being non-binary is nothing to be afraid of.
