Queer Defined
As mentioned above genderqueer is a gender identity that’s built around the term “queer.” Identifying as queer means existing in a way that doesn’t necessarily align with heterosexual or homosexual norms. Although it’s typically used to describe a person’s sexual orientation, it can also be used to express a nonbinary gender identity. A “queer” gender may fall outside of, fall in between, or fluctuate among the binary gender categories of man and woman. People who are genderqueer often experience their gender as fluid which means it can shift and change at any given time. Genderqueer can also describe a position of questioning one’s gender identity during a particular period of time or in an ongoing way. Not only is it one of the most common identities under the transgender umbrella, younger generations are increasingly identifying as genderqueer. A 2017 survey conducted by GLAAD found that 1% of the overall population of 18- to 34-year-olds identifies as genderqueer.
