Gender fuck - the art of appearing to be a gender other than that which society has traditionally placed on the gender fucker.

Often used as a means of political expression, eg. of the celebrating diversity sort.

Probably includes drag kings but not drag queens, as the latter is somewhat more accepted than the former, and because androgyny seems to be more achieveable by the 'fairer sex' than the other.

I have gender fucked you when you don't know whether I'm a man or a woman, or if you decide on one but discover I'm the other (through genital observation).

An amusing game to play in single-sex environments, if you like to live dangerously.

More exciting to play in RL, due to the confounding properties of voice, expression, body language and physical appearance.

It also describes a person who is just openly and willingly violating the gender boundary by combining a number of things that are decidedly masculine and feminine at the same time.

The classic example would be seeing someone walking down the street with a beard, unshaven legs, and long hair, while wearing a dress and high heels and carrying a purse.

It has to be clear it is not an accident, but quite intentional, and can really throw off people who are not prepared and/or used to it. And it doesn't really count when done for comedic purposes.

Genderfuck can be either a verb or a noun.

To genderfuck means to play with gender expressions with the express intent to confuse other people. Many people can't handle someone who doesn't conform to one gender but uses aspects of both male and female gender to express hirself.
Thus, a genderfuck would be someone who engages in genderfucking.

A good example of a genderfuck would be Brian Molko. He is male, and likes to wear female clothing and makeup, but he doesn't really try to look like a woman . The result is very disturbing to some people, and he seems to enjoy that.
