I sometimes say that just because I have a vagina doesn’t mean I’m a girl/woman.
For those who don’t understand how this could make any sense, here’s a nice little basic video, to introduce you to the world outside the gender norm:
Genderqueer or gender non-conforming: A person who does not identify as a man or woman.

“Third gender or third sex refer to a gender category, of people who are considered neither completely male, nor completely female. It is a gender identity separate from ‘men’ and ‘women,’ of people considered to be the intermediate sex; in-betweens (like the androgynes) or neutrals (like the agendered).
Although contemporary connotations often confuse ‘third gender’ with hermaphrodites, biological hermaphrodites actually comprise a very small percentage of the third genders. Biologically speaking, a hermaphrodite is a person who has both male and female sex organs. However, gender identity is psychological and societal as well as physical, explaining why the majority of individuals who occupy the third gender are physically either male or female, not both.”
