"Pejic was assigned male at birth and now identifies as genderless, topping a list of other noteworthy up-and-coming transgender models like Lea T, Claudia Charriez, and Isis King. But for all the attention Pejic and Lea T (the muse of Givenchy) are garnering, there’s another element to this fashion transformation taking place. Twenty years ago there was a queerification, where gay culture had a significant influence in runway shows and in clothing stores. Today, there’s a genderqueering taking place. And it’s happening in menswear. Perhaps more to the point, it’s happening with menswear."

This article isn't about "genderqueering fashion". It's about FAAB people wearing men's clothing. Aside from the first paragraph, there is NO MENTION of femme genderqueer expressions. What, is femininity frowned upon even in queer communities? :/
