I technically come under the "genderqueer" umbrella, I just don't talk about it much or openly present as such.
Personally, I don't see it as a whole new gender, I just see it as being a state of in-between-ness. That really depends on the person though, some people consider it a whole new gender while others don't.
I do honestly think some people on Tumblr are a bit too trigger-happy with inventing new names for things. I mean there's literally about 50 different terms now to describe some kind of state of being "in between male and female" and/or "both", and I find it both un-necessary and confusing. I think if we want the mainstream society to take us seriously as people who are not "fully trans" per se but are still gender non-conforming, we need to agree on no more than a few terms maximum to describe ourselves. Take it seriously, if you want people to look at you serious while calling yourself a "pansexual omnigendered demiboy" you're asking a bit much.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
