The non-binary gender expression refers to transgender people who do not identify with the gender assigned at birth or as part of the male and female categories, partially or fully, being an umbrella term that includes other gender categories. We consider the media as vehicles for (re)production of social representations about the LGBTQIA+ population and that the first non-binary character in mainstream media was Taylor Mason, from the Billions series. From the perspective of Critical Social Psychology, Theory of Social Representations, Gender Studies and Intersectional Feminism, we aim to explore the relationships between the characters in view of Taylor's introduction. Specifically, to analyze how the gender narrative takes place in the series. We conclude that Billions presents possibilities of anchoring and objectification for the construction of representations about non-binarity and that it is treated with spontaneity, giving importance to the character beyond gender issues.
