Get the Gender fluidmug. Gender Queer can be a term to describe a gender identity that is not encompassed by traditional roles of male and female.
This could be a person whose sense of self is the opposite of their perceived gender, such as a Transgendered person who is a “Male to Female” (T to F), or “Female to Male” (F to M).
Additionally, the term can be used for someone who is poorly described by traditional labels, and also not completely described by the term “Transgendered”. Thus, someone whose sense of self is not wholly male or female, but embodies elements of each gender could also be described as Gender Queer.
A Gender Queer person might respond to a question about their gender in many, many ways. Some might say, “There are male aspects to who I am, and female aspects to who I am. I value all those aspects of my sense of self and do not want to separate myself from the different parts of who I am.” Others might be crystal clear about their sense of self relating to gender, and find that the perception of society as to their gender is frequently wrong, and be totally okay with that. Still others may be on a journey to identifying their sense of self, and be perceived as one gender or another, sometimes correctly and other days not so much.
The overarching reality is that the way of identifying as either all male or female, or M to F or F to M, has has paved the way for the current level of comfort with gender being a more fluid, and less concrete concept.

Get the Gender Queermug. Third gender is a gender identity. If someone is of the third gender, they are considered neither male nor female, whether by their will or by social consensus. Not to be mistaken for third sex. Sex and gender are not synonymous. Sex refers to whether they are biologically male or female. Gender is a state of mind. One can be born female, but live as a male. This has no influence on sexual orientation, nor vice versa. Typically, those of the third gender prefer to be referred to using gender-neutral pronouns, such as one, ze, sie, hir, or ey.

Bob: "Alright, guys! Let's go!"
Melissa: "Excuse me! Do I LOOK like a guy to you? No, don't answer that. I feel so gender-offended..."

Get the Gender-offendedmug. A made-up word used by people or organizations who need to check nondiscrimination boxes in order to sound appropriately enlightened and informed. Gender orientation is a mash-up of gender identity and sexual orientation, neither of which have any correlation to the other.
The job posting mistakenly listed gender orientation instead of gender identity as something they don't consider when hiring.

Get the Gender orientationmug. A person who is gender fluid doesn’t identify as one specific gender. Their gender identity can change. One day they could wake up feeling feminine, the next day they could feel masculine, the next day they could feel both and the next day they could feel neither. It can change each day or even during the day. Gender fluid people may prefer different pronouns than what they were assigned at birth. They may prefer all or different ones each day. For example on a day that they are feeling feminine they may prefer the pronouns she/her/hers, on a masculine day they may prefer he/him/his, on a fem and masc day they may prefer she/him/they pronouns or just they/them/their. On a neither day or (non binary) day they may prefer they/them/their. You just have to ask the person what their pronouns are that day because it can be different for everybody. When a person discovers they are gender fluid they may change their name to a more gender neutral name (ex- Charlie, rylie, etc) if you don’t know what their pronouns are just ask, it’s not offensive it actually makes us feel better for you to ask.
Example:
Gender fluid person: “hey Dylan, I am gender fluid, and my preferred pronouns are they/them and I’m changing my name to Morgan because it is gender neutral”
Dylan: “ok! I will support you all the way Morgan, and I am here for you if you need me. I am happy for you for coming out!”
Morgan: “thank you Dylan”
Gender fluid person: “hey Dylan, I am gender fluid, and my preferred pronouns are they/them and I’m changing my name to Morgan because it is gender neutral”
Dylan: “ok! I will support you all the way Morgan, and I am here for you if you need me. I am happy for you for coming out!”
Morgan: “thank you Dylan”
