*Gender Expansive
“An umbrella term used for individuals that broaden commonly held definitions of gender, including its expression, associated identities, and/or other perceived gender norms, in one or more aspects of their life. […] Some individuals do not identify with being either male or female; others identify as a blend of both, while still others identify with a gender, but express their gender in ways that differ from stereotypical presentations.” – Borrowed from the gender statement of the Women’s Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA)
Bad Girls does not endorse these definitions as absolutes, but offers them as concepts to facilitate understanding.
