Genderfuck: Difference between revisions

'''Genderfuck''' is a form of gender expression that seeks to subvert the traditional gender binary or gender roles by mixing traditionally [[masculine]] (such as a beard) and traditionally [[feminine]] (such as a dress) components. It literally means to "fuck with" or mess with traditional notions of gender expression or gender roles.<ref name=":0">Dictionary definition of what Genderfuck means: https://www.dictionary.com/e/gender-sexuality/genderfuck/</ref><ref name=":1">LGBTIA+ Wiki about Genderfuck: https://lgbt.wikia.org/wiki/Genderfuck</ref><ref>Wikitionary about Genderfuck: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/genderfuck</ref> For some it is their gender identity, for others it is a label for a certain events clothing or outfit. <ref>Wiki page on Genderbender / gender bending: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_bender</ref> This may also extend to the belief that the social construct of gender does not exist.<ref name=":2">Urban Dictionary on Genderfuck: https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=genderfuck</ref>

Some binary identifying trans people or nonbinary people may choose to intentionally dress up in a genderfuck outfit for an event or photoshoot. This usually consists of using secondary sexual characteristics of different sexes such as a beard '''and''' breasts, or another expression of traditionally male and female identifiers together. This may be to intentionally confuse the audience and to set traditional gender roles and expression into question, leading to discussion under the umbrella of "what is masculine/feminine?" or similar discourse.<ref name=":1" /><ref name=":2" />
