the embarrassing situation that arises from someone's innocently attributing the wrong gender to another person
I nearly got in a gender bender, but when I spotted the adam's apple I decided to stick to gender-neutral pronouns

A person having enough qualities not belonging to thier sex at birth that it is hard to distinguish them as the sex they were born as. Also people who engage in activities not normally or traditionally associated with thier birth sex. Does not mean they are homosexual but they do exhibit such behavior.
1. Steve calls himself a metrosexual but its just a nice way of saying gender bender. He does very feminin things like getting his nails done.
2. Charlene is a female body builder and because she has eradicated anything feminin about herself she is an obvious gender bender.
3. Mary drives a "monster" truck and it does not belong to her husband because she is not married, she is a gender bender.
4.WPGA, WNBA, WNFL, male home decore designers, male bycycle racers (shave legs sometimes), women truck drivers ETC. !!!!!!!

A person who sees gender as a sociocultural construction and not something innate. Because genders are roles we play, and not something inherant, gender is something that can be turned on or off, tuned in or out and will. Because of this, someone who bends gender might wear baggy pants and pee standing one day, and crack out heels and a corset the next. People can bend gender in many ways and contexts, and because of this, people who are of any gender or sexual orientation can be gender-benders.
Sometimes, I feel sexy in a slinky dress and lipstick. Sometimes I feel handsome in a button down and tie. Sometimes I wear ties with skirts, corsets and cufflinks. I am a gender-bender, and I can bend gender norms to fit my conception of who I am.

When you go on a prolonged spree of acting like the opposite gender, only to then remark that you were just on a bender
