Genderqueer
[ˈjendər kwi(ə)r]
What is Genderqueer?
The term used to describe an individual or a group who refuses to subscribe to a traditional gender identity and feels that his/her/their gender does not fit within the social gender binary (male & female). Genderqueer is also known as non-binary or gender-expansive. Someone who is genderqueer can identify as both male and female or will not identify with having any gender. Instead of ‘he’ or ‘she’, a genderqueer person can be referenced as ‘ze’. GQ is a commonly used acronym for the term Genderqueer.
Example of Genderqueer
Even though Eugene was born a male, ze doesn’t identify with any gender, ze is genderqueer.
