Gender Piracy
Gender Piracy can describe anyone who is intentionally very visibly genderqueer, and shaking up "normal" ideas of gender. Gender pirates take what they like from existing ideas of gender, and weave it together into something flashy and dangerous. It is both a gender identity and gender presentation.
