Genderqueer has been used as an adjective to refer to any individuals 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]] individuals (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 individuals as well. |

They may also identify as transgender and/or non-binary. Some genderqueer individuals may wish to transition, either medically, socially, or both. Genderqueer individuals can have any sexual orientation. |
