Genderqueer
A catch-all term for gender identities other than man and woman, thus outside of the gender binary. People who identify as genderqueer may think of themselves as one or more of the following
- both man and woman (bigender, pangender);
- neither man nor woman (genderless, agender);
- moving between genders (genderfluid)
- having an overlap of, or blurred lines between, gender identity and sexual and romantic orientation
