'''Genderqueer''' is a term for indivduals who feel that they have a queer or non-normative experience with gender, either through their gender identity, their [[Gender Presentation|gender presentation]], or other experiences of gender. It is often used interchangeably with [[Non-Binary|non-binary]] to mean a gender that is not strictly [[Man|male]] or [[Woman|female]]. This definition can be used as a gender identity on its own or as an [[Umbrella Term|umbrella term]]. |

Genderqueer has been used as an adjective to refer to any indivduals who do not fit the mainstream ideals of gender or gender presentation, regardless of their self-defined gender identity. It includes anyone who "queers" their gender, either through their identity or their gender expression. Using this definition genderqueer can be used to describe [[Binary Genders|binary]] indivduals (both [[cisgender]] and [[transgender]]) who have a non-normative experience with gender or gender presentation. One may also identify as genderqueer as a political statement. Terms like [[Gender Non-Conforming|gender non-conforming]] may be used to describe some of these indivduals as well. |
