okay, i already know what the difference between queer and genderqueer is, but can someone smart explain the difference between genderqueer and non-binary? thanks
edit: also gender-non-conforming is that also different?

queer is the general term (defined as “denoting or relating to a sexual or gender identity that does not correspond to established ideas of sexuality and gender, especially heterosexual norms”), genderqueer is defined as “a person whose gender identity does not correspond to conventional binary gender distinctions”
GNC is just a term for any person who doesn’t abide by the norms/stereotypes of their gender
I already know the difference between queer and genderqueer. is there a difference between genderqueer and nonbinary?
(just a warning i’m cis; this knowledge is coming from what i’ve heard from other queer people under the trans umbrella so it might not be. 100% life-lore accurate)
genderqueer can encompass nonbinary as far as i know - anyone who identifies as a gender that doesn’t match normal conventions (for example, identifying as kinda both male and female, or being neither) may take the label of genderqueer, but nonbinary generally refers to being off the traditional gender binary at least partly,, i assume that means they have a strong overlap but may not be the exact same? i assume people who fall under the category of both could probably choose which term they like better and identify with that one :P
