The qenderqueer
» Ambiguously Gendered
As a pansexual guy who has written thousands of words honoring and celebrating genderqueer people I feel that I should have something more to add. Part of the beauty of being a gender outlaw is being an individual with a sense of your defining power over what gender labels you'll accept, which you'll laugh at. Excuse me for being so rushed right now to just point you to my own Ambiguously Gendered archives and to the article quoted below.
Someone who is "genderqueer," for example, views the gender options as more than just male and female or doesn't fit into the binary male-female system. A "trannydyke" is a transgender person (whose gender is different than the one assigned at birth) attracted to people with a more feminine gender, while a "pansexual" is attracted to people of multiple genders. A "boi" describes a boyish gay guy or a biological female with a male presentation; and "heteroflexible" refers to a straight person with a queer mind-set.
The list of terms -- which have hotly contested definitions -- goes on: "FTM" for female to male, "MTF" for male to female, "boydyke," "trannyboy, " "trannyfag," "multigendered," "polygendered," "queerboi," "transboi," "transguy," "transman," "half-dyke," "bi-dyke," "stud," "stem," "trisexual," "omnisexual," and "multisexual."
