Gender bender is an informal term used to refer to a person who actively transgresses, or "bends," expected gender roles. Gender-bending is sometimes a form of social activism undertaken in response to assumptions or over-generalizations about genders. Some gender-benders identify with the gender assigned them at birth but challenge the norms of that gender through androgynous behavior and atypical gender roles. Gender benders may self-identify as transgender or genderqueer, feeling that the gender assigned to them at their birth is an inaccurate or incomplete description of themselves; some are transsexual and desire to change their physical sex through hormone therapy or sex reassignment surgery, while others were born intersexual.
