- Genderqueer is a non-normative gender identity and gender expression that doesn't fall under the binary of man and woman.

However, many nonbinary gender identities reject the term genderqueer as their own because of it's more specific association of being a part of the queer community when they do not consider themselves a part.

| - Genderqueer is a non-normative gender identity and gender expression that doesn't fall under the binary of man and woman. A person that identifies as genderqueer may either be using the label as an unbrella term for nonbinary expression. They may also be using genderqueer as an identity as to not be more specific about the nature of their gender. Genderqueer as an umbrella term, which predates nonbinary by several years, means non-normative or queer gender identity while nonbinary means lying outside of the gender binary, though they both have a very similar scope. Genderqueer may identify as having overlap or blurred lines between genders, may be without a gender, may have two or more genders, may move between genders or have a fluctulating identity, may have a third gender that does or doesn't have a name, or anything else outside of what is considered binary. However, many nonbinary gender identities reject the term genderqueer as their own because of it's more specific association of being a part of the queer community when they do not consider themselves a part.

Still others see "genderqueer" as a third gender to complement the traditional two, while others identify as genderless or agender. Genderqueer people are united by their rejection of the notion that there are only two genders. The term "genderqueer" can also be used as an adjective to refer to any people who transgress gender, regardless of their self-defined gender identity (see Alternate Meanings, below).

Some genderqueer people may wish to transition, either medically or by changing their name and/or pronouns to suit their preferred gender expression. Genderqueer people can have any sexual orientation. Many genderqueer individuals see gender and sex as separable aspects of a person and sometimes identify as a male woman, a female man, or a male/female/intersex genderqueer. Genderqueer identification may also occur for political reasons. "Genderqueer", along with being an umbrella term, has been used as an adjective to refer to any people who transgress mainstream distinctions of gender, regardless of their self-defined gender identity, for example, those who "queer" gender, expressing it non-normatively. Androgynous is sometimes also used as a descriptive term for people in this category, but genderqueer is used to indicate that gender norms can be transgressed through a combination of masculinity and femininity, or neither, and because not all genderqueer people identify as androgyne.
