Add enby as counterpart to male and female
Proposal status: Draft (under way)
Proposed by: Gjvnq
Tagging: enby=*
Applies to: node, area
Definition: An equivalent of male=* and female=* but for non-binary people.
Statistics:

Rendered as: Possibily a half male half female restroom-style stick figure.
Draft started: 2022-07-01


Proposal

Create the tag enby=* as a counterpart of male=* and female=*.

This tag is for places that primarly or exclusively for non-binary (enby) people, so it should generally not be used when unisex=yes.


Rationale

The main use of this tag would be for toilets and enby-only spaces. While these may be very rare, I think it's better to have a standard rather than having a mess of people using different tag names like nb, enbies, nonbinary, third_gender, etc.

Tagging

As of 1st July 2022, the following synonyms show no usage on taginfo: nonbinary, non-binary, enby, enbies.

The tag gender_access=* likewise shows no third gender values (children, fille, enfant, enfants are not third genders, they are essentially both or unisex).

The tag gender_segregation=* also shows no third gender usage.

Examples

Rendering

The half-female half-male restroom-style stick figure is the only rendering I can think of. Unfortunately this maybe misread as the unisex symbol. One option would be adding some sort of three symbol inside yhe stick figure to allude to the idea of third gender.
