'''Genderf*ck''', also known as '''Genderpunk''' is a term for culture and resistance against gendernormativity. It is an identity that based on a resistance against gender norms, homophobia and transphobia, oppression and societal status. One's actual gender has nothing to do with being genderpunk. One does not have to be [[Transgender|trans]] to be genderpunk. ▼

The main idea of being genderpunk is not caring about the [[Binary Genders|gender binary]] and challenging the expectations of society. This doesn't mean that genderpunks don't respect other people's gender identity, but they do what ever they want with their own gender and don't care what culture/society thinks "a girl should look like" or "how boy should act".▼

Examples of genderpunk might include [[cisgender]] men who likes traditionally effeminate things. Cis woman who enjoys short hair and dressing butch. Non-binary people who [[Gender Presentation|present]] a 'clashing' way, or in a way to challenge the expectation of people to fit the gender binary. As long as one agrees with the mindset, no matter how they identify, they can be a part of the genderpunk/genderf*ck movement. ▼

==Flag==
The first genderf*ck flag was created by Tumblr user yo-ho-sebastian on July 31, 2016.<ref>[https://pride-color-schemes.tumblr.com/post/148276826255/genderfck Tumblr post announcing the (first) gender*ck flag.]</ref> The purple flag has a pastel yellow border and a stylized pastel yellow skull symbol in the center. The colors are meant to show the different kinds of identities and expressions that go under the term, purple being a mixture of male and female, yellow being outside the binary entirely, and their juxtaposition to show those who experience multiple genders. The skull indicates the rebellious nature of the gender identity.
While the other genderf*ck flag has an unknown origin, it is known that there is a version of the flag without a middle finger in the center from August 19, 2020.<ref>[https://www.wattpad.com/930232898-pride-flag-handbook-part-4-genderfuck A Wattpad publication with another genderf*ck flag.]</ref>
The first appearance of the genderpunk flag was on August 23, 2015, created by DeviantArt user Pride-Flags.<ref>[https://www.deviantart.com/pride-flags/art/Genderpunk-1-555820431 DeviantArt post with the (first) genderpunk flag.]</ref>

▲While information has yet to be found regarding the origin of the first four flags, the fifth suggested genderpunk flag was created by FANDOM user Snailrat. The top two red stripes are meant to represent femininity, the bottom two blue stripes to represent masculinity, and the two purple stripes to represent androgyny. The black stripe in the middle is for the primarily dark color scheme of many punk subcultures, going along with the toned-down color scheme of the rest of the flag.
