Gender-Variant

This is a broad term that does not refer to any particular gender identity or gender presentation. The term "gender-variant" is generally used to refer to those who deviate from what would typically be expected of people who have the same assigned sex as the person or people being described.

While this term can be considered "othering" in the sense that it describes those who are atypical in terms of appearance or percieved gender, it is not generally used in a derogatory manner.
