I personally see it as being even a broader term than non-binary, that it's people who aren't 100% with what gender theyre born with in whatever way shape or form. I still see myself as a woman for the big part and I like my experience with womanhood, but what makes me happy is looking, sounding and actiong like a man as much as I can, which takes me away from my percived womanhood personally. I am though not a man, but I'm not non-binary because womanhood is still a big part of who I am and I still relate with the term woman. So I'm genderqueer.

As a genderqueer person, this a beautiful explanation! I find it difficult to explain to people about my label and this helped a lot; thanks for educating people and making it more clear for others to understand!!

A lot of these points also remind me of how much hetero normative folks are pushing n selling nonbinary as a third gender instead of outside gender binary. Some of the differences u address really feel like trying to distance ourselves from a "less queer" identity. I think it could be a bit like non binary discussions against those with a more femme or masc expression being "girl or boy lite" and needing to just be demi. Which sure some demigender folks may identify as nonbinary before finding the term, but to suggest they're just quirky cis folks or that being nonbinary requires androgynous expression is ironically what pushes hetero normative standards on us all. Sorry to spam a bit, just a video that really gets me thinking.

Being nonbinary is not a political statement. It’s just who I am.

I see it as genderqueer means "queer of gender" like your gender or your gender expression is queer, you are just some way queer in your gender. Imo I feel like genderqueer would include non-binary people, or gender nonconforming people, etc. non-binary being simply not binary. Outside of the gender binary of man and woman. So they can be the same thing to some people and do overlap to me! Maybe even like genderqueer ≠ non binary but non binary = genderqueer

Okay on the political aspect, I think now it's a time more clearly showing a difference between being queer versus being LGBT. Maybe queer is being used as a term to show intersectionality being tied to your identity, which as a black person I do feel it play into how I feel n express gender n sexuality. In the way that there's a difference between being liberal n leftist. At the same time, queer is so commonly used as an umbrella like gay used to, n sometimes still is, for the whole community so now we have the question of whether or not queer as a term itself still means not conforming to society on multiple layers(lifestyle, relationships, expression, etc.) I'm not sure. It's definitely easier when in spaces that already have inclusivity n not conforming intertwined, like a friend group lol

Awesome video Max!!! & I'm loving your hair!!! 💖💖💖

I see myself as GQ Non Binary. With a mix of bi umbrella.

I think you were great explaining it

Thank you for this video ☺ I know how to figure out my gender now!

I need something to describe being between woman and non-binary. I’m a woman but masculinity is a core piece of my gender. Like I’m a masc lesbian but I need something to describe that my masculinity goes to the core of who I am. Can I say genderqueer woman? I identify heavily with transmasc people but like I’m still a woman but like not. Send help

Thanks for the explanation. 20+ years ago when I transitioned MtF, the term non-binary label wasn't in use that I was aware of. But we had people who either couldn't get approved for HRT or simply who didn't want to. So how this would play out for us in SoCal was us binary MTF and FtM folk would have a support group meeting where we talked about transition, hormones, passing, challenges with the whole transition process and then AFTER the support group meeting we'd go to Sherry's for pie and salad and that's when the gender queers would show up to hang out for that part of the night. Gender queer was just a catch all for anyone gender non-conforming that would hang with us. We had some different labels for the few we knew that hung out. Gender rebels and gender outlaws were VERY intentionally non conforming. They had very gendered presentation, but you never knew how they'd look exactly. Kinda playing with gender. No idea what such a person would be called today. Bigender was the same as today. But I never heard this idea of mixing up pronouns and alternating. They kinda were like part timers. Conform all the way one way in one group, then all the way the other way in another scenario. Not sure if I ever really knew any real bigender, because the person who was bigender I knew ended up identifying as MTF, she just couldn't dress en femme at home because of family. Androgenes would be called agender today. Exact same thing. Tend to be androgenous and like it that way. There were others I'm sure, and this was just a tiny handful of people that were friends with us transsexuals (the word we used at the time for us), so take with a grain of salt. The gender queers were basically just friends of ours that hung out when we talked about random stuff like pie, movies, music, or whatever. I'm sure there were plenty of other gender queers out there in both queer spaces and not, but that's my grand experience with such people in the days before social media was invented.

I just say I am a women and man she/he and sexually attracted to men. It is different for other people though

Non binary and Genderqueer are not the same....Non binary is someone who doesn't consider himself/herself man or a woman or anything in the binary. Genderqueer is someone who consider himself both , a combination or more into the female or more into the male side of the binary. Im Genderqueer myself and i feel in between male and female( a little bit more inclined to the feminine) so in the binary. I really dislike when people confuse others

Makes sense to me! For me, it's nonbinary - agender. 😸

Wither awueer or non bunary,if you want get married you become the man or is ti different in this direction,what about musculin???

What about the term gender fluid? 🤔 You wouldn’t happen to know the difference between: non-binary, gender queer and gender fluid (those are the main 3 I have heard, anyways) It seems like they are all very similar, but it’s more what makes you feel most comfortable to identify?
