The term used to describe an individual or a group who refuses to subscribe to a traditional gender identity and feels that his/ her 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
Even though Eugene was born a male, ze doesn’t identify with any gender, ze is genderqueer.
