Gender - The Space Between - CBSN Originals CBSN Originals explores the intricate world of gender, beyond him or her. Over the past several years, transgender narratives have populated countless headlines and TV sets. The world watched as Caitlyn Jenner transitioned, "Transparent" swept the Emmy Awards, and a Virginia boy's case to use the men's bathrooms at his school headed to the Supreme Court.

And they do not identify with being either a man or a woman. Rather, these individuals often choose to reject gender completely, or fluctuate between masculinity and femininity on a day-to-day basis. As a result, no one non-binary person is like the next. These are some of their stories.
