    Allan Hunter grew up partly in Valdosta GA and partly in Los Alamos NM and first attempted to come out as genderqueer in 1980, an endeavor made difficult by the fact that there was no such term for it in 1980.  He has used many words and phrases over the intervening years, including "sissy" and "coed feminist" and "straightbackwards", but currently identifies as a "gender invert" which is a subtype of genderqueer, and colloquially refers to himself as a "male girl".

    ''Genderqueer'', published by Sunstone Press in 2020, was his first serious attempt to write for the market outside of the academic journal environment.  It is autobiographical, although the names were changed (Hunter refers to himself as the character "Derek Turner" throughout).  This book is a coming-of-age / coming-out story about being genderqueer in an era before there was any label or any consciousness of such an identity.
