Fluid gender identities

Gender that moves. The identity itself shifts, or its intensity does, or both.

  • Twenty-three identities
  • five with a settled flag

Twenty-three identities sit under Fluid here: Genderfluid, Genderflux, Fluidflux, Genderwitched and nineteen more.

Each has its own page: what it feels like day to day, how it differs from the ones next to it, and honest reasons it might not be you. The cards below are the short version. It suggests. You decide.

All twenty-three Fluid identities

Flag, name, one line. The full description is one click away.

FluidGenderwitched

Pulled towards a gender you cannot confirm is yours.

FluidAerogender

A gender that moves with your surroundings — the room changes, and so does what you are in it.

FluidCassflux

How much your gender matters to you goes up and down. The gender itself can stay perfectly still.

FluidGender Apathetic

You may well have a gender. You have never been able to make yourself care which one.

FluidCassgender

You are not missing a gender. You just can't make yourself care about the one you've got.

FluidGreygender

A gender that's there, but faint — and a matching lack of urge to do anything about it.

FluidCyclegender

Gender that moves on a schedule: a set rota of genders, or, in the other definition, one that tracks a partner's shifting attraction.

FluidPolyfluid

Several genders, and fluid between them: often more than one at a time, and which ones keeps changing.

FluidBigenderfluid

Two genders, and each one moves — or one gender that moves between exactly two. Either way, the motion is the point.

FluidSwitchgender

Two genders and a switch between them — abrupt, complete, nothing in between.

FluidBoyfluid

Fluid between boy, neutral, androgynous and nothing — never a girl. The anchor is boyhood, not masculinity.

FluidLunagender

Your gender moves in a cycle — the same phases, in the same order, coming round again. Like the moon, not like the weather.

FluidBoyflux

How much of a boy you are changes. Which gender it is does not — a whole boy, a faint one, sometimes none at all.

FluidFluidfem

Fluid, but every stop keeps a feminine cast: girl, demigirl, a soft boy, something xenic — always with the femininity intact.

FluidCassfluid

Indifference to gender with something in motion — the gender itself, how little it matters, or both.

FluidEnbyflux

A non-binary gender that changes volume — fully there some weeks, faint others, sometimes gone to agender — without swapping station.

FluidFluidmasc

Fluid mostly between male and masculine genders, occasionally elsewhere — but everything you land on keeps a masculine cast.

FluidGirlfluid

Fluid between girl, neutral, androgynous and genderless — never male — and anchored to being a girl rather than to femininity.

FluidGirlflux

The girl part rises and falls. Full some weeks, faint others, sometimes gone, while the anchor stays a girl.

FluidCrystagender

A gender that changes at random and often feels broken into pieces: several genders at once, none of them whole, no pattern to the shifts.

The distinction is the useful part. Side by side, the difference stops being abstract.
