Short answer, yes.
Long answer: In this world, all kids are non-binary until confirmation when they get older. The main character, Akeha, is non-binary in that they never think about their gender to the point that they’re shocked when their twin chooses to be a woman at confirmation. When they were young, they agreed never to go through confirmation. When Akeha finds that their sister has always known they were a girl, they’re surprised. Akeha ends up deciding to be a man, but there’s definitely this feeling that Akeha wanted to stay non-binary. Later, Akeha meets another person who uses masculine pronouns and chose to be a man at their confirmation, but never went to the people who help people’s bodies become a specific sex so they use masculine pronouns, but remain non-binary.(less)
