Re-ticketed from #32

Realized that while nonbinary suits all of these (verifiable via on Nonbinary Wiki, gender-non-conforming might be more clear, since:

[...] nonbinary is an umbrella term itself, although some people use it to describe their specific gender identity too.

But of course, perhaps people with lived experience should comment on this. Happy to try to loop some folks in, if you're open to conversation :)

Sure!

Please be aware of the purpose and limitations of this tool, however. It has access only to Twitter accounts' names and public profiles, so it can't do much to determine people's gender identity with any specificity or accuracy, and that's not the main goal anyway. The app's goal is to help people who follow mostly men to follow a more balanced group of Twitter accounts.
