Genderqueer ≠ Non-binary
Genderqueer isn't just a thing nonbinary people are. Heck, it's not even a thing only trans people are. "Genderqueer" is an adjective, turned into a noun for some but gender queerness, queered gender can really describe any non typical, politicised relationship to gender. A cis genderqueer person may be a twink, a drag artist, a tomboy, a femboy, a femme, a butch, a stud, a crossdresser, a cis person who uses atypical pronouns for their gender, a transvestite or any other gender nonconformist. A binary trans person may easily consider their binary gender status as genderqueer due to the politicised existence of binary transness, a percieved atypical transition or because they live queerly as a binary gendered person. Obviously, enben have an inherent genderqueerness; this is our living status for many of us who wish to live authentically. Our genders by being not binary, are queer. Some politicise it on purpose, honing into the nonbinary liberationist stance. Some are genderqueers and that is their noun, their whole identity. It is an adjective label but can also be a noun, even for the binary trans and cisgender people who are genderqueers.
Queering gender and a queer experience with gender in relation to the world is vast and not limited only to nonbinary people specifically. That's why I have the tags cis genderqueer and binary genderqueer. In many places where people say nonbinary, they describe gender queerness. I understand why the two might be conflated but there is a distinction; they are not the same.
