Everything about Genderqueer
Gender identity outside of the gender binary
Genderqueer as a term refers to a gender identity that is outside the male/female gender binary. It often serves as an umbrella term for gender-nonconforming gender identities or alongside the term non-binary, but has also gained a distinction through its use to disrupt the idea of a gender binary entirely. Genderqueer individuals are typically considered a part of the transgender and wider queer community. Wikipedia →
