Maria Munir, 20, a politics and international relations student from the UK, comes out as non-binary (as not identifying as male or female) to Barack Obama during a town hall in London attended by 500 young people. Munir told Obama: ‘I’m about to do something terrifying, which is I’m coming out to you as a non-binary person … In the UK we don’t recognise non-binary people under the Equality Act, so we literally have no rights.’
