Neuroqueer, neuroqueering

Taxonomy of Terms / VII. Resistance and world-making

Foundational. Coined by N. Walker (2008); developed with M. Remi Yergeau, Ibby Grace and Athena Lynn Michaels-Dillon.

A practice rather than a fixed identity: subverting neuronormativity and heteronormativity together, and reclaiming the potential of one’s divergence.
