I'll be honest: I'm a little confused that you say you can understand binary trans-ness, yet, based on what you're saying here, your difficulty understanding genderqueerness seems to stem from a difficulty understanding how people can relate to gender outside of physical sex and gender roles. In that regard, being trans and being genderqueer aren't all that different. You say you identify as female because of the body you were born with, but the existence of trans people shows that gender identity doesn't always correspond with the body you're born with. It's just that most people born with "female" bodies do identify as female, and vice versa.

Like binary-identified trans people, many genderqueer people don't identify as the gender they were assigned at birth, and many experience some degree of psychological, social, and physical dysphoria. Some choose to transition. The main difference is that genderqueer encompasses a wider range of non-binary identities.

It's hard for me to explain beyond that, because if it's possible for someone born with a "female" body to have a firm male identity, I don't see why it's so much stranger for someone to have an identity that's neither male nor female.
