In the past couple of weeks, I have noticed the phrase "gender expansive" in the wild for the first time, as in "women and gender expansive people".

Wiktionary defines it as: "Believing in, or conforming to, notions of gender that go beyond the traditional gender binary."

Is anyone familiar with the origins of the term?

Is it in use in your circles?

If you are A) familiar with this term, and B) included in it, how do you feel about it compared to alternative phrasings?
