Genderqueer: Difference between revisions

Genderqueer comes with the anti-assimilationist political connotations of [[queer]], a reclaimed slur word that has strong associations within and without the LGBT community as well as a countercultural sexuality movement that sets itself apart from the mainstream [[LGBT]] community. (Note that the word "queer" is still actively used as a pejorative and hate speech in many regions.) As such genderqueer implies a similar counterculture, setting itself apart from mainstream [[transgender]] discourse. Most genderqueer people also consider themselves to be queer and there is a strong trend of rejecting the gender binary and normative [[gender roles]] with in the Queer Movement as a whole.
