Genderqueer Chicago
Genderqueer Chicago is an in-person community group that hosted discussions and clothing swaps. Meetings were "open to anyone... wanting to talk and think about gender" (except reporters and researchers).[1] Ro White described the group's attendees circa 2009 as "pink-haired, pierced and denim-clad mischief-makers".[2]
The group's website described their goals as giving people a place to discuss new perspectives on gender, creating visibility for gender variant people, and making Chicagoans in general aware of the concerns of gender variant people.[3]
Every other month, the group had special meetings where they assembled blanket forts in the meeting room and discussed topics chosen by members that day (rather than a single topic chosen ahead of time).[1]
