Genderqueeria

Genderqueeria is a term used in some discussions of gender identity to denote a cultural space, community, or personal orientation linked to genderqueer and nonbinary identities. It is not a standard term in English-language sources, and its meaning can vary between communities and languages.

In places where it is used, genderqueeria may refer to a spectrum of identities that reject strict binary gender categories and to practices that affirm fluidity in gender expression, such as art, fashion, and activism that foreground gender diversity. Individuals who identify with genderqueeria may use pronouns such as they/them or other self-chosen pronouns, and may describe their gender as nonbinary, genderqueer, agender, or another self-definition.

The term overlaps with and sometimes functions as a synonym for genderqueer or nonbinary, but some speakers treat genderqueeria as a distinct cultural or community-oriented concept rather than a fixed identity. Because usage is variable, it is best to rely on self-identification when possible, and to be aware that different communities may have different meanings.

In broader discourse, genderqueeria is often discussed alongside established terms like genderqueer and nonbinary, with advocates emphasizing the cultural and community dimensions of gender diversity. See also: genderqueer, non-binary, gender-nonconforming, gender identity, LGBTQ+.
