What does it mean to be Genderfluid?

Question

Does anyone know what ''Genderfluid'' really means?

CubsterShura · Accepted Answer

Gender fluid is basically someone who identifies or expresses different genders at different times. For some people it may just be an internal feeling that they don't outwardly express, for others it could be an outward expression (for example, someone may cross dress one day and not cross dress on another day).

Because it is such a flexible term with such a flexible meaning in nature, it actually doesn't have one solid meaning and there are debates and controversies on what it means to be gender fluid.

I personally think if you think you may be gender fluid you have to explore what that term means for you and if identifying and living as such makes you feel like you are living a life truer to yourself, that is just good enough. The goal, at the end of the day, is to live a better quality of life and be free to do what it takes as long as you aren't harming yourself and others. For all I care feeling like a girl today and boy tomorrow is not harming you or anyone else.

And just to mention some other comments here comparing this to a delusion: "millionaire" has an objective meaning: you own a million of your currency. A helicopter is an inanimate object which you clearly are not. While it may feel like gender expression and identity is objective and indisputable, and in terms of biology the male is the one who donates games and the female is the one who receives it, that is all where it ends and does not dictate how you should be living your life. What it means to be a man or a woman, what is masculine and what is feminine have been different in different times and places. There was a time even being able to read was a masculine thing.

People who haven't conformed to typical gender norms have existed throughout all cultures, and for all I care it should not and does not affect anyone else if we let people be. It is much easier to understand and accept people different from you when you simply stop seeing it as people trying to set themselves apart or having an agenda against you, and instead just understand that these are words and language that are helpful for people to word how they feel and who they are, period.

A lot of things that technically "shouldn't" happen still happen anyway, and it's fine. Caffeine is a stimulant and is supposed to make you feel awake, but your roommate Kathy falls asleep when she consumes caffeine so she takes a cup of coffee before bedtime to sleep better. That's not how coffee is "supposed" to work, but if it's working for her, who cares? You won't forcibly make her coffee every morning and tell her to stay awake the whole day because falling asleep after drinking coffee isn't "normal". We may never know why caffeine has the opposite effect on Kathy and that's okay. You don't have to understand it, you just have to respect it.

I rather say what would technically be associated with the word:

It’s a closet with girl and boy clothes.

It’s a person who would have boyfriends and girl friends.

it’s someone who would keep male and female accessories.

Someone who, in written form, would keep their identification to possibly an it, they? Them? Or just both interchangeably- idek.

genderfluid itself, means it/ or a person specifically, can flow from either or, at any time. I suppose, even if they surgically change themselves/ their display/ genitalia, they’d still identify as their originating gender if they just wanted to, I guess.

They pick their gender and it’s not based on what they are born with or even what they surgically transition to.

Their gender literally follows their mood.. and it’s motivated by previous traumas/ mental conditioning/ and a majority of sexual fetishes/preferences.

If someone became aroused by a blade of grass, I’m sure they’d want to identify as a plant 🌱 consequentially. When no longer aroused or needing to associate/ a gage with grass, they can always “transfer back,” or identify themselves as a human.

I’m not judging and if I offended anyone ofc apologies and feel free to disagree- and just state that, or engage in reasonable arguments, not emotionally fueled ones that would go one forever…

thanks.

Call it confused certain communities are making up different sexuality's all the time there's currently about 22 and growing and there's more than 2 genders now.
This is caused by the LBGTQ community such as trans story hour for preschool, kindergarten and 1st graders state farm had a program with trans story hour
It's ok for the LBGTQ community to condition young children to believe having sex with someone 4 times their age and condition them to change from male to female or female to male or be both male and female that's chick with a dick !

This is not normal and should not be socially acceptable the LBGTQ community can condition people under the age of 18
But if a straight person does it it's jail , prison , probation , their names are plastered in the news !

So it's generation confused and messed up
But if you speak against it you're a hatemonger , a homophobe

A phobia is a fear of something to me it's gross and disgusting
I will not go with this being socially acceptable or appropriate for children or family values
I'm sure people will read this and tell me I'm mean or hateful or have me censored or have this site suspended me
But it's my belief
I wonder how many people feel the same way about this as me

Being genderfluid means that a person's gender identity is not fixed or stable, and can change over time or in different situations. Genderfluid individuals may feel that their gender identity fluctuates between different genders, or they may not identify with any particular gender at all.

For example, a genderfluid person may feel more masculine one day, more feminine another day, or feel a mix of both genders or neither. Some genderfluid individuals may choose to present themselves in a way that is traditionally associated with their gender identity at that moment, while others may choose to present in a way that is not traditionally associated with any particular gender.

It is important to note that gender identity is personal and unique to each individual, and everyone's experience of genderfluidity may be different. Additionally, genderfluid individuals should be respected and acknowledged in their chosen gender identity, just as with any other gender identity.

MaazHussain · Answer

Genderfluid is a gender identity where a person's gender can vary or fluctuate over time. It is a non-binary gender identity, meaning it is not strictly male or female, but can be a combination of both or something else entirely.

For genderfluid individuals, their gender identity may shift and change, often without warning or predictability. This can mean feeling more masculine or feminine, or a combination of the two, at different times or on different days. Some genderfluid individuals may also identify as being agender (having no gender), or having a fluid gender identity that is not defined by the binary categories of male or female.

It's important to note that gender identity is a deeply personal experience, and everyone's gender identity is unique to them. Genderfluid individuals may have different experiences and expressions of their gender identity.

CupcakeTheDestroyer · Answer

My understanding is that it means you don’t feel you belong in the binary of male or female and usually present yourself somewhere in between the two. Gender is very much a social concept and very amorphous these days, sometimes you want to be in that binary, sometimes you feel like something else. I’ve heard some nonbinary folk describe their feelings about gender as a waterfall or as a lone mountain. These might sound ridiculous if you’re used to the sex binary of male and female and assume it’s the same as gender, but honestly no matter how ridiculous it might sound, someone calling themselves a waterfall - at worst - is a mild inconvenience to you. It’s not hurting anybody and it’s not that hard to just live and let live in my opinion.

burlen · Answer

Genderfluid is a term used to describe an individual whose gender identity varies over time. Genderfluid people may feel that their gender identity changes between different gender identities or expressions, rather than identifying as strictly male or female.

Genderfluidity can manifest in a variety of ways. For some individuals, their gender identity may fluctuate from day to day, while for others it may change less frequently. Some genderfluid people may feel that their gender expression (i. e. the way they present themselves to the world) changes along with their gender identity, while others may express themselves in a consistent manner regardless of their current gender identity.

Genderfluidity is a personal experience and may be different for each individual. For some genderfluid people, their experience of their gender identity may overlap with other gender identities such as non-binary, genderqueer, or trans.

Kaneki05 · Answer

Depends either your a conformist or a non one. Conformist ones like to put emphasis on gendered things and do both sides of things so they will like to act girly or manly at times thinking that concept makes sense.

A non like me thinks gendered things are man made ideas for example liking pink is not girly but conformists will say it is. Liking dolls is girly etc. When I say that's bullshit I can like what I want and if anyone wants to judge me for it then they are buying into an illusion.

noohair · Answer

There are so many more chemicals that are in our food supply than there was 100 years ago, it has screwed up young people. Gender dysphoria was a diagnosis in the mental health community, and over 85% of those effected, resolved by themselves with no intervention or medication. People saw an opportunity to make money and the trans industry was launched to take advantage of children and make tons of money. That is what is going on now. If someone is dysphoric after age 25, then it becomes a valid issue to treat. Transforming children is in my view, criminal.

Weapon77 · Answer

It's the misconception or delusion that individual personality traits that vary on a spectrum from person to person are the same as gender. It's based on several flawed and dangerous stereotypes that certain interests or occupations are specific to one sex, when most things can be interests of both genders.

BCRanger10 · Answer

It means that the person claiming to be so is suffering from some kind of mental illness or disorder of some sort. Anxiety, depression, narcissism, to name a few. They've allowed themselves to be fooled into believing that they can be any gender or sex they want at any given moment from one to the next.

It means a guy is gay and a woman is bi. I know many people will disagree with me but its my personal opinion. Any guy that likes men romantically or sexually is gay to me. I'm not bi so I'm also not interested in women.

Anonymous · Answer

At this point I don't even think the individuals who say they are gender fluid even know what it means. It was originally stated that being gender fluid meant that you identify more as a woman one day and more as a man the next. However, with the 300+ genders that are coming out of the woodwork, with 90% being the same thing with a different title, none of it makes sense.

Genderfluid Is a non-binary identity where a person's gender might change over time. Their gender identity isn't fixed on only one gender, but rather more than one.

It simply means your gender changes with the changes in your mental stability. The less shit you can handle on life, you'd be wishing you were the other gender. Something like that.
