| quote = There's a real pressure on nonbinary folks to present a front of absolute security and certainty about their identities. You have to project confidence at all times, so no one ever has the space to question your gender. And I think that's too bad, really, because we run the risk of putting more importance on certainty than we do on exploration. The only times we can be vulnerable is with other queer people, who understand that gender is a journey and a process. | | quote = <translate>There's a real pressure on nonbinary folks to present a front of absolute security and certainty about their identities.

'''Genderqueer''', also called '''GenderQueer''' or '''gender queer''', is an umbrella term that refers both to non-normative [[Gender Identity|gender identity]] and [[Gender Expression|gender expression]]. The label may also be used by individuals wishing to identify as holding queer or non-normative gender without being any more specific about the nature of their gender. | <translate>'''Genderqueer''', also called '''GenderQueer''' or '''gender queer''', is an umbrella term that refers both to non-normative [[Gender Identity|gender identity]] and [[Gender Expression|gender expression]].

As an umbrella term, Genderqueer has a similar scope to [[nonbinary|nonbinary]], with many nonbinary-identifying individuals also considering themselves genderqueer. However, the terms have different historical scopes and connotations. The word genderqueer was used at least ten years before nonbinary. | As an umbrella term, Genderqueer has a similar scope to [[nonbinary|nonbinary]], with many nonbinary-identifying individuals also considering themselves genderqueer.

Genderqueer was coined in the 1990s as 'Gender Queer,' and was for a time written as 'GenderQueer' before becoming a single word. The original meaning was literally queer gender, including anyone who felt the way they experienced or expressed gender was queer. The term carries the non-normative and anti-assimilationist connotations of the [[Queer Movement]] and applies these to gender rather than sexuality. | Genderqueer was coined in the 1990s as 'Gender Queer,' and was for a time written as 'GenderQueer' before becoming a single word.

Genderqueer means non-normative or ''queer'' gender while [[nonbinary]] means gender that falls outside the [[gender binary]] model. Both of these terms are extremely similar in scope, however in practice their connotations are significantly different. | Genderqueer means non-normative or ''queer'' gender while [[nonbinary]] means gender that falls outside the [[gender binary]] model.

While genderqueer and nonbinary are theoretically extremely similar in their scope as umbrella terms, in practice genderqueer slants more towards those who identify as queering gender while nonbinary tends to attract those who hold specific [[trans*]] or [[transgender]] identities that fall outside of the gender binary. | While genderqueer and nonbinary are theoretically extremely similar in their scope as umbrella terms, in practice genderqueer slants more towards those who identify as queering gender while nonbinary tends to attract those who hold specific [[trans*]] or [[transgender]] identities that fall outside of the gender binary. | ||

There is controversy within the genderqueer community over whether genderqueer people fall under the [[transgender]] umbrella. Despite the work of [[Leslie Feinberg]] in the 1990s to coin transgender as a wide and inclusive umbrella term covering all forms of ''transgressive gender'', the term genderqueer developed out of a frustration with the association between transgender and [[transsexualism]], [[gender dysphoria]] and the dominant [[transgender narrative]]. | There is controversy within the genderqueer community over whether genderqueer people fall under the [[transgender]] umbrella.
