Genderqueer
Genderqueer is a catch-all category for gender identities that are not only relating to masculine or feminine identities which are outside the gender binary and cisnormativity. Genderqueer people may express a combination of masculinity and femininity, or neither, in their gender expression.
Gender identity is separate from sexual or romantic orientation, and genderqueer people have a variety of sexual orientations, just as transgender and cisgender people do.
Non-binary gender
A non-binary gender (also spelled nonbinary) is any gender that is not male or female. Someone who is non-binary might identify as transgender. Some non-binary people experience gender dysphoria.
The idea that there are only two genders (male and female) is called the gender binary. By extension, a non-binary gender is a gender that is not part of the gender binary.
Examples of non-binary genders include agender, bigender, and genderfluid.
Some non-binary people may use gender-neutral words to describe themselves. Many non-binary people prefer to be called the pronoun "they" instead of "she" or "he". Other pronouns like "xe" or "ey" may be used.
The gender-neutral formal title that is generally used instead of "Mr." or "Ms." is "Mx.", which is pronounced like "mix" or "mux".
Cisgender
Cisgender (often known as cis) is a term for people whose gender identity matches the sex that they were assigned at birth. "Cisgender" may also be defined as those who have "a gender identity or perform a gender role society considers appropriate for one's sex". It is the opposite of the term "transgender".
