"
Genderqueer" describes a category of gender that is neither traditionally "female" or "male." Many different, nontraditional gender identities fall under the umbrella term "
genderqueer." Genderqueer individuals may identify as having a gender somewhere between female and male or, more commonly, out of the gender binary all together.
Unless told otherwise, polite pronouns for genderqueer individuals are the
singular they and ze/
hir pronouns. Most genderqueer individuals take offense being referred to as "it."
