Quariwarmi

In Peru, the pre-colonial Inca civilization had shamans called quariwarmi, qhariwarmi, or qariwarmi, meaning "men-women," who were a mixed-gender role. Andean Studies scholar Michael Horswell writes that third gender ritual attendants to Chuqui Chinchay, a jaguar deity in Incan mythology, were "vital actors in Andean ceremonies" prior to Spanish colonisation. Horswell elaborates: "These quariwarmi (men-women) shamans mediated between the symmetrically dualistic spheres of Andean cosmology and daily life by performing rituals that at times required same-sex erotic practices. Their transvested attire served as a visible sign of a third space that negotiated between the masculine and the feminine, the present and the past, the living and the dead. Their shamanic presence invoked the androgynous creative force often represented in Andean mythology."Horswell, Michael J. (2006).

Article online. Archived on 17 July 2023 Richard Trexler gives an early Spanish account of religious third gender figures from the Inca empire in his 1995 book "Sex and Conquest":
 This description draws into question whether the quariwarmi considered themselves a gender outside man or woman, or if they considered themselves women.

Queer anarchism

Queer anarchism or Anarcha-queer is an ideology that holds that the only way to achieve true queer liberation is by rejecting all hierarchy and the shackles of capitalism and the state. It advocates for the abolition of homophobia, transphobia, enbyphobia, gender itself, the gender binary, cisheteronormativity, and the patriarchy. Queer anarchism as an ideology can be traced back to Adolf Brand, a German anarchist who published the anarchist journal Der Eigene from 1896-1932, the first gay journal in the world.Anarchist of Love: The Secret Life of John Henry Mackay by Hubert Kennedy Archived on 17 July 2023
Contemporary queer anarchism traces its roots back to the queerpunk subculture of the late 20th century; punk in general has always attracted a large anarchist following, and queerpunk was no different. Anarcha-queers are in general heavily opposed to pink capitalism, since it still maintains oppressive and exploitative heteronormative, patriarchal institutions while exploiting queer culture for monetary gain. Under pink capitalism poor queer people still struggle to survive, and rich queer people still benefit from oppressive and exploitative institutions.

Questioning

See also Gender questioning.
Questioning means that someone is still figuring out their gender identity, sexual orientation, or gender expression. Some people use questioning as an identity, if they still have not exactly figured out what their gender or sexual orientation is, or if they have no desire to figure it out and are happy with the label questioning. The only person who truly knows the answer to the gender question is you.
== Some things to ask yourself if you are ready ==
Here are a few questions that you could ask yourself if you are ready to begin the journey of figuring out your gender identity:
* How do you feel about your birth gender?
* What gender do you wish people saw you as?
* How would you like to express your gender?
* What pronouns (including neopronouns) do you feel the most comfortable using?
* When you imagine your future, what gender are you?
== Common doubts that people have when questioning ==
These are some common doubts people might face while they are questioning:
* Many people worry that their age might not give them the best idea on how they actually feel about their gender.
* Others worry about the social impact that their transition might have, ie, if their place in school will be affected and things like that.
* Some people think that they might be confusing their sexual orientation with their gender identity.
* Some others worry that they might not be able to fulfil the roles that society would set on them after they transition.
* Others wonder if they are not neurotypical, and that might make them feel the way they do about their gender.
== General suggestions for those who are questioning ==
If you are currently questioning, keep these tips in mind —they might help figure your gender out:
* Experiment with your gender in safe, private spaces
* It is never 'too late' to transition
* Internet 'Gender tests' are not recommended, as they are often not accurate
* Being accepted is not an all-or-nothing binary. Some people might accept you, some might not
* There is no typical or 'right' way to transition
* You do not have to start your transition immediately, you might have to wait until you are out of school, or in a safe place, or have the money and resources

Quoigender (from French quoi, quoi "what" + "gender") is a nonbinary gender identity with several definitions:
* someone who feels that gender identity and/or existing gender terms don't apply to them
* someone whose relationship with gender is complicated; someone who isn't sure whether they experience gender or what gender identity means for them
*can be used as an alternative to "questioning", in order to communicate exhaustion or frustration with searching for a better gender identity term for oneself
*someone who is done with gender and doesn't care much for it as a concept; frustration with gender

"I am bigender and I align both with masculinity and femininity. Much of my feels abt masculinity comes from my father. I learned about self-defense, how to survive on nothing, how not to betray friends even under intense pressure. I use his lessons daily."
"For me personally, English has been liberating. In my other languages, gender distinctions are much more massively embedded. [...] English afforded me opportunities to avoid binary gender marking, or to play with it in various ways."

Rae Spoon

Rae Spoon is a Canadian musician and writer who was awarded an Honour of Distinction from the Dayne Ogilvie Prize for LGBT writers in 2014.
After a decade of living as a trans man, Spoon noted a preference for the pronoun "they" in 2012 during an interview with cartoonist Elisha Lim, a fellow advocate for the gender-neutral pronoun. They explained to Now Magazine, "after years of fighting to be called 'he,' the idea of coming out again made me tired. But now I feel kind of rejuvenated, ready to fight on some more. I think the 'they' pronoun is a pretty cool thing. It's letting a lot of people not have to identify as a man or a woman. Whatever it means to them."
They co-wrote the book Gender Failure with Ivan E. Coyote.
==Quotes==
"I'm going by 'they' now. I'm gender retired. I'm no good at gender."
"I was tired of often being expected to perform a male role because my pronoun was 'he.' After so many years fighting to be called 'he' and having people ask me when I was going to modify my body (physically transition), I realized that for me being trans is not about being read as a man or changing my body. I am happy with the body that I have. What I'm unhappy with is the way things are gendered by society in general. I don't feel like I want to carry out a male or a female gender role. Gender-neutral pronouns made sense to me personally and felt like the right decision."

Rain Dove

Rain Dove (born September 27, 1989) is an American model and actor. They use their naturally androgynous look to model for both men's and women's lines of clothing. 
Dove began a modeling career after being challenged by a friend to present themselves as a man in a Calvin Klein casting for underwear. At the casting, they were handed the outfit for the test shoot, which was just a pair of underwear. When Dove came in topless, the designer responded by giving them a men's shirt and saying "Swear to God, you will not tell anyone you're a woman!" After the show, people began seeking Dove for modeling jobs; three months later they accepted their first modeling job and have since walked at New York fashion week on both men's and women's runways.
Initially, Dove claimed in interviews and biographies to have studied genetic engineering and civil law at University of California, Berkeley. They also claimed to have worked as a Colorado Firefighter under a male pseudonym, and to have passed as a man during this time, for a period of eleven months. However, in late 2019 Dove admitted in a video on NBC News that both of these claims (of having studied genetics and law, and of having been a firefighter) were false. Dove stated in the video that they wanted, "to just put everything out on the table, everything that I have done or have said that may not be fair or right or may have hurt people".
Dove has called themself "a 'zero gender'/'all gender' model" and often tweets with the #genderqueer hashtag. Dove has no pronoun preference: "Use she, he, it, one, they ... I honestly don't care ... All I'm listening for in that sound is positivity." They have stated "in all reality... I am nothing. Neither a man nor woman. I am a human. I just have specific anatomical capacities that I am satiated with and do not want to change." "I don’t identify as 'male' or 'female' but rather as I am I.". However, Dove does not identify as transgender.

Recognition (UK)

This series of articles gives information on recognition of nonbinary gender identities in law, government, services, and businesses in the United Kingdom (UK). This also deals with policies about transgender people in general, and related policies about intersex people. Recognition here means whether an organization acknowledges that such people exist and have valid identities, and the organization does this by routinely giving them a place where they aren't forced into being wrongly categorized as a gender that doesn't match their gender identity. In the case of recognition of nonbinary people, this means the system doesn't force them to wrongly say they are one of the binary genders (female or male).
Follow to find lists of organisations in each category, with status on nonbinary acceptance and evidence.

==Quotes==
"There's this idea that masculinity is inherently the neutral—that to be really nonbinary, you have to adhere to this standard that fits a white, skinny, masculine presenting body. I was talking with a friend recently about how I sometimes wish that I had a flatter chest so I could look more androgynous, and they cut me off in the middle of my sentence and were like: Breasts aren’t inherently gendered. This was a good reminder that bodies are bodies and gender is a construct. But truthfully? I have a bit of a love-hate relationship with modeling. I’ll feel really sexy, then my Christian shame kicks in and I think: Oh God, everyone on the internet has seen my butt."

Richard O'Brien

Richard O'Brien (born 25 March 1942) is an English writer, actor, television presenter and theatre performer. O'Brien is known for writing the cult musical The Rocky Horror Show and for presenting the popular TV show The Crystal Maze. In a 2009 interview O'Brien spoke about an ongoing struggle to reconcile cultural gender roles and self-described as being transgender or possible third sex. O'Brien stated, "There is a continuum between male and female. Some are hard-wired one way or another, I’m in between."Richard O’Brien: ‘Society should not dictate gender’, Pink News, 18th August 2009 Archived on 17 July 2023 O'Brien expounded on this in a 2013 interview which covered using oestrogen for the previous decade, and identifying as 70% male 30% female.Richard O'Brien: ‘I'm 70% man', BBC News, 18 March 2013 Archived on 17 July 2023
Controversially, Richard has openly said, regarding trans women, "I think anybody who decides to take the huge step with a sex change deserves encouragement and a thumbs-up. As long as they're happy and fulfilled, I applaud them to my very last day. But you can't ever become a natural woman", only "an idea of a woman."

==Quotes==
"In my undergrad, I'd always go through these swings where I was really flamboyant and just feeling myself. And then I'd have these moments where it was just like, no, I need to be more masculine or dress more conservatively. Now, knowing I'm intersex makes me feel sometimes feminine and sometimes masculine. I wake up and can be whoever I want to be that day. I feel like the feminine and masculine energetically lives inside of me equally. Being intersex has really taught me that it's OK to hold both of those things equally, to have them mean equal things to you, and that you don't have to try to be one or the other."
"There are intersex people who are not queer. They don't want to be part of the alphabet. They want to look at it entirely as a medical situation, and want to correct their bodies to the heteronormative paradigm. I have intersex friends who are heterosexual and cis-gendered. But to me, I think it’s missing the point when one wants to look at it completely in medicalised terms. There are some people that choose to be cis-gendered, and it works out for them completely, but for intersex people who are non-binary, for intersex people who are trans or queer, it is a human rights violation. Because other people are literally taking control and removing agency over decisions about our bodies that should be our own."
