'''Genderfluid''' or simply '''fluid''', refers to someone whose [[gender identity]] changes over time. A genderfluid individual can identify as any [[gender]], or combination of genders, at any given time. Their gender can change at random or it may vary in response to different circumstances. At times, these individuals may identify as male, female, both, or neither.<ref name="WebMD: Gender Fluid">{{Cite_web|url=https://www.webmd.com/sex/what-is-fluid|title=Gender Fluid: What Does It Mean?}}</ref> Their [[pronouns]] may vary at different times. The term genderfluid can be used as a specific identity in itself or as a descriptive term. They are generally considered under the [[non-binary]] and [[transgender]] [[Umbrella term|umbrellas]], but not all genderfluid individuals identify with those terms. Some genderfluid people [[Transitioning|transition]] socially, physically, and/or legally.<ref name="TLP: Genderfluid">{{Cite_web|url=https://translanguageprimer.com/genderfluid|title=Genderfluid / Genderflux|author=[[The Trans Language Primer]]|work=[https://translanguageprimer.com The Trans Language Primer]|archivedate=20211024132716}}</ref>

The word "genderfluid" has been in use since at least the 1990s, although with a different meaning. [[Transgender]] advocate Michael M. Hernandez wrote in 1996:<ref>{{Cite_print|author=Hernandez, Michael M.|titlepart=Boundaries: Gender and Transgenderism|title=The Second Coming: A Leatherdyke Reader|date=1996}}</ref>

The earliest recorded use of genderfluid, with a definition closer to the modern definition is in the Urban Dictionary "Gender Fluid" entry, which was added in 2007.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20161018191041/http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=gender+fluid Urban Dictionary definition of Genderfluid]</ref>

===History===
 
  +
==DNI If==
The idea of gender fluidity and the ability to be multiple or all genders is not a new concept. The earliest recordings date back to indigenous peoples who called the phenomenon "two-spirit".<ref>https://www.ihs.gov/lgbt/health/twospirit/</ref> They believed some were born with two spirits living inside of them, which allowed them to view the world holistically. These beliefs pan across the globe, from the Navajo nation to Siberia, New Zealand, the Congo, all of whom were often celebrated by their communities.<ref>https://www.spectrumsouth.com/history-science-gender-fluidity/</ref>

*You are queerphobic in any way, shape or form. This includes, but does not limit to, purposefully misgendering individuals, claiming a gender isn't real, claiming an attraction isn't real, claiming a pronoun set isn't real and being exclusionist.

*You are racist, misogynistic, sexist, ableist or otherwise discriminatory.
In the 18th-century Chevalier D'Eon, a French diplomat, worked as a spy in London before a political exile. They presented as both a man and a woman at various points in life. Having been born a man and choosing to live as a woman in the last part of their life.<ref name="Britannica">https://www.britannica.com/story/forgotten-figures-who-challenged-gender-expression-and-identity-centuries-ago</ref> Their mere existence raises questions among historians to this day. Some regard d'Eon as a figure of the genderfluid community, while others believe Chevlaier merely changed genders as a political or societal strategy.<ref>https://artuk.org/discover/stories/the-gender-fluidity-of-the-chevalier-don</ref>

The genderfluid flag was created by JJ Poole, or Lostinthoughtspaceandfantasies on Tumblr, on August 2, 2012.<ref>[https://lostinthoughtspaceandfantasies.tumblr.com/post/28596790877/jaidynmarri-a-proposed-design-for-a-genderfluid Lostinthoughspaceandfantasies Tumblr page]</ref> Pink represents femininity, blue represents masculinity, purple represents both femininity and masculinity, black represents a lack of gender, and white represents all genders.<ref>[https://genderfluidity.tumblr.com/post/28614422659/so-i-couldnt-find-a-flag-that Gender Fluidity page on Tumblr]</ref> This flag is widely considered to be the "chosen" flag of the community, with replicas selling on popular online services such as Amazon.

*You believe paraphilic disorders are part of the LGBTQ+ community, you believe individuals with paraphilic disorders are inherently evil or you mock/discriminate against individuals with paraphilic disorders.

*You consider Objectum Attraction to be a paraphilic disorder, or you support individuals with those views.

Genderfluid is often compared to or confused with [[non-binary]] people. Non-binary people do not classify themselves as either binary gender, male or female, while a genderfluid individual's gender is not fixed, allowing them to identify as male, female, or both at any given moment.<ref>https://www.healthline.com/health/gender-fluid#gender-fluid-vs-nonbinary</ref>

[[Genderqueer]] is also used in conjunction with genderfluid due to their similarities. Genderqueer people do not fit into any gender binary, while Genderfluid people simply "switch" between the binaries.<ref>https://queerintheworld.com/what-is-genderfluid-vs-genderqueer/</ref>

[[Agender]] can also be confused for genderfluid; however, they are vastly different gender identities. Agender individuals do not identify as any gender, while genderfluid people almost always identify with one binary or another.<ref>https://www.healthline.com/health/agender#agender-vs-other-terms</ref>

A common misconception regarding gender fluidity is that it is "just a phase". According to WebMD, "The very nature of being gender fluid means you may change the way you identify. If this happens, it doesn't mean the person is no longer gender fluid." Furthermore, when speaking on children exhibiting gender fluidity, "cross-gender preferences and play are part of their normal exploration process and do not necessarily affect their future gender identity. However, if a child continues to identify as gender diverse over the years, then it's more likely not a phase." Contrary to popular beliefs, gender fluidity is not linked to any sort of mental illness or developmental disorder. Rather, it is an identity.<ref name="WebMD: Gender Fluid" />

A study done by [[GLAAD]] in 2017-2018 found there were a total of 17 transgender characters on screen, of which only 4 of them identified as non-binary, though none as specifically genderfluid. Similarly, in 2019, GLAAD did another study and found there were no gender fluid characters in major films. GLAAD had looked over 118 films from major studios, and of the 18.6% of characters that were part of the LGBTQ community, none were non-binary or genderfluid.<ref>[https://inkspire.org/post/non-binary-gender-identities-representation-in-media/ Inkspire.org breaks down the statistics]</ref>
