gender variant

an individual who is not gender conforming. That is, someone who is gender non-conforming; someone who may be transgendernonbinary, genderqueer etc., by displaying or possessing characteristics that are considered to be different to what is expected of their sex assigned at birth.

However, some people may be perceived to be exhibiting gender variance or gender non-conforming, whilst identifying as cisgender. Individuals who have intersex variations may display characteristics of gender non-conformity, which may only become apparent during puberty.
