"'Genderqueer is a trend.' 'Genderqueer people are just playing dress up.'

These myths are commonplace, perpetuated by misinformation in mainstream media, whispers in support groups, rants in online forums and jerks in the comments. They are the norm of what genderqueer represents in people's minds. I've read one too many articles — especially by transgender people — claiming that those who are genderqueer do not experience the same troubles as trans men and trans women."
