This genderqueer person helps others better understand gender identity, including their own.I start with two circles — man and woman — with a line connecting them, speaking to the spectrum. If man and woman are opposite identities, then you could identify as man, woman, something in between or a combination. Then I take them for a ride and say, ‘This is still a binary. The spectrum is useful in terms of visualizing gender using the framework we have. But it’s not always useful for people who are like me, in that I’m not binary. I don’t identify as man or woman.’ Then I draw a squiggle in the corner of the whiteboard. That’s me. It’s hard to get from what we have to what we don’t — we don’t have a way to describe that or language to talk about that. But if we can move from binary to spectrum and there’s something further from that, it’s called genderqueer.
