From the author: Individuals who identify as "genderqueer" see themselves as neither strictly male nor female. This paper draws on ethnographic data including participant observation, open-ended interviews, and naturally occurring dialogue to examine how genderqueer individuals perform uniquely non-binary genders. The article finds that genderqueer individuals draw on existing gendered cultural forms through linguistic and embodied performances as well as narrative and combines them in new ways to construct uniquely gendered performances.
