Genderqueer has been used as an adjective to refer to any people who fit the mainstream ideals of gender or [[Gender Presentation|gender presentation]], regardless of their self-defined gender identity. In includes anyone who "queers" their gender, either through their identity or gender expression. Terms like [[Gender Non-Conforming|gender non-conforming]] are also used to describe these people as well. Using this definition genderqueer can be used to describe [[Binary Genders|binary]] [[cisgender]] and [[transgender]] people who have a non-normative experience with gender/gender presentation. One may also identify as genderqueer as a politic statement.
Some genderqueer people may also identify as another gender identity (such as [[androgyne]], [[bigender]] etc.) They may also identify as transgender and/or non-binary. Some genderqueer people may wish to transition, either medically, socially, or both. Genderqueer people can have any sexual orientation.
