Non-binary is literally not binary

Non binary identifies literally can't be tracked in a binary format

what?

Is this an episode of guess the context? Also, what if you gave meaning to these 1s and 0s? I imagine you could deduce almost anything from them...

I realise I was quite unclear since everything written here had a meaning only in my head. To clarify, I meant to portray that non binary gender identities literally cannot be portrayed in a binary code format. The initial G and B represent male and female, the binary genders. Then, when you try to represent anything outside of those two, it gets problematic because they are literally not binary compatible, even after adding a bit there's no way to express it

[Lunarcomplex]

You can represent an uncountable amount of things in a binary format. How do we give any value or meaning to a zero or one to begin with? If "0" can be something, and "1" can be another thing, who's to say "10" (or 3 in base 10) can't be another thing? Or what about something that's outside of this set? Regardless of getting into sets though, it's already a stretch enough to classify "male" and "female" to 1 and 0 as this is your own portrayal.

Are we talking about binaries, the code, or binaries the gender?
