I've only inhabited the genderqueer id for 12yrs so I'm still a baby!

I know more than one femme who ids as genderqueer femme. One in particular I'm thinking of who, goes by a chaps name all the time and challenges folks on so many fronts as well as gender presentation, pronouns and nomenclature.
I also know a handful of hetero blokes from the kink community who also own genderqueer as id for their own non-binary reasons

For me it means exactly what it says on the tin. My gender is rather queer, not the norm, outside the the box...and therefore a challenge to those who can only view the world in black&white.

The majority of genderqueer folks I know are female-bodied, on the masculine end of the spectrum and have come to genderqueer after many years of not fitting into the usual rather limited identity boxes provided by the hetero and homo communities.

Genderqueer and proud!
