Genderqueer Guy

 is a term for someone who is both genderqueer and considers themself a guy or is comfortable with being called a "guy". "Guy" in this case may be used light-heartedly, or genuinely refer to being male.

Definitions
"Genderqueer" as a term is a diverse one, which can be used as a standalone gender term or a descriptor of gender queerness and being gender non-conforming. Genderqueer guys may or may not consider themselves transgender or nonbinary : There are many experiences that can be described as genderqueer guy. Many definitions involve viewing masculinity or maleness through a genderqueer lense. "1. personally, my gender is very connected to maleness but it feels like…parallel to binary maleness in a way, like it’s different but similar enough that i still really like being seen as a guy. i also feel that my gender is like a neutral version of male in a way, because ive never really connected with masculinity on a presentation level or just in terms of describing my gender. so i guess that would be my personal definition of genderqueer guy

2. in general, the term genderqueer guy could encompass a ton of different experiences. i’m thinking about making a post with as many different examples as i can think of but i’ll put a few here:

a masc-aligned nonbinary person

a bigender person whose two genders are genderqueer and male

a multigender person who feels that their male/masc gender is the primary identity, or whose full range of gender experiences could be described as genderqueer guy altogether

a genderfluid person who’s often a male/masc gender or whose full range of gender experiences could be described as genderqueer guy altogether

a genderflux person whose gender is male/masc when at its strongest

an agender person who likes being seen as a guy in day to day life or who feels that if they had a gender it would be male/masc

an afab person who feels that their gender would be totally binary male but has been somehow affected by being raised/perceived as female

an amab person who feels that their gender would be totally nonbinary but feels connected to maleness due to being raised/perceived as male

a neurodivergent person who feels that their gender would be totally binary male but that their connection to maleness has been affected by their neurodivergency

a person who feels such a strong connection to being a gay man that they feel a connection to maleness as a result but wouldn’t feel like a man if it weren’t for their attraction to men"

- Tumblr user Positivelygenderqueer guy Genderqueer guy can also be considered an umbrella term for terms like demiboy, trans man, and other terms of trans manhood. In this case, "genderqueer guy" is very similar and overlaps with "genderqueer man" and/or "nonbinary boy," but may be used over other terms because of personal preference.

History
