* Revert "Add indicators for flag levels"

This reverts commit a291d5fa668156970e2496710bd6c39a53819e1b, because the flag level is already indicated in the excerpt structure.

of, relating to, or characterised by being any gender that does not fit into the male-female gender binary; an umbrella term.
For example, a non-binary person may have some gender between male and female, have multiple genders, no gender, a culturally-specific gender (e.g., two-spirit).
## Note
Non-binary people may or may not also identify as [transgender](/definitions/transgender).
Although non-binary is commonly used as an umbrella term, just because someone identifies as a term under the umbrella, does not necessarily imply that they identify as non-binary as well. For example, someone may be agender, but not identify with the term "non-binary".
