Also found under the Transgender Umbrella—besides Transsexuals—are Genderqueers. As defined by Wikipedia Genderqueer is a "catchall term for gender identities other than man and woman. People who identify as genderqueer may think of themselves as being both male and female, as being neither male nor female, or as falling completely outside the gender binary. [...] Genderqueer people are united by their rejection of the notion that there are only two genders..." Since Genderqueer has such an open-ended definition I decided to interview six people from different backgrounds to learn what being Genderqueer (or even toying with idea) means or has meant to them.
