"Sister Trystina T. Rhume" fra gender bender-gruppen Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.

Gender bender er en uformel betegnelse, der bliver brugt om en person, der aktivt overskrider eller bøjer de forventede kønsroller.[1][2] Boy George blev kaldt gender bender, fordi han brugte make up og fremstod feminin.

Gender bending er en form for social aktivisme i modsvar til forudindtagelser eller over generaliseringer, der er i forhold til køn. Nogle gender benders identificerer sig med det køn, de blev 'tildelt' ved fødslen men udfordrer normerne, der er knyttet til det gennem androgyn opførsel eller brud med de traditionelle kønsroller.

Gender benders kan identificere sig selv som transkønnet eller genderqueer, hvor de føler, at det køn, som de har fået 'tildelt' ved fødslen, er ukorrekt eller en ufuldstændig beskrivelse af dem selv: nogle er transseksuelle og ønsker fysisk at ændre deres køn ved at tage hormoner eller få kønsskifte operationer, mens andre er født interkønnede. Andre igen identificerer sig som Two-Spirit eller som det tredje køn.

from wikipedia

The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence (SPI), also called Order of Perpetual Indulgence (OPI) is a charity, protest, and street performance organization that uses drag and religious imagery to call attention to sexual intolerance and satirize issues of gender and morality.

At their inception in 1979, a small group of gay men in San Francisco began wearing the attire of nuns in visible situations using high camp to draw attention to social conflicts and problems in the Castro District.

The Sisters have grown throughout the U.S. and are currently organized as an international network of orders, which are mostly non-profit charity organizations that raise money for AIDS, LGBT-related causes, and mainstream community service organizations, while promoting safer sex and educating others about the harmful effects of drug use and other risky behaviors.

In San Francisco alone where they continue to be the most active, between 1979 and 2007 the Sisters are credited with raising over $1 million for various causes, or almost $40,000 on average per year.[1]

Early members of the group, while not hiding their masculine features or facial hair, are characterized by San Francisco gay community historian Susan Stryker as the embodiment of "genderfuck".[2] Their appearance has changed over the years; the nun motif remains the same, but it has been joined with exaggerated make-up that accentuates the rebellion against gender roles and religion. The Sisters have attracted controversy both within and outside the LGBT communities, but have received the harshest criticism for obvious parodies of Catholic icons and policies.

social change is best met with courageous hearts and open minds.
