Genderfuck
From Susan's Place Transgender Wiki
Genderfuck is a gender performance which "fucks with" or plays with traditional gender identities, gender roles, and gender presentation, and often also with sexism and anti-gay bias. It is also defined as a relationship with gender, making love to gender and its performance (Smith). Examples include androgyny, drag kings, cross-dressing, effeminacy in men, masculinity in women, etc.
Examples of genderfuck in relation to physical performance or appearance include people prominently displaying secondary sex characteristics of different genders together - such as breasts and a beard.
As opposed to genderqueer or transgender presentation, genderfuck is generally an intentional attempt to present a confusing gender identity which contributes to dismantling the perception of a gender binary.
