Genderfluid
Genderfluid
Genderfluid is a non-binary gender identity that describes a person whose gender varies over time. This can be a gradual or sudden change, ranging from hours to months and beyond. Genderfluid individuals may feel more masculine, feminine, androgynous, or other non-binary genders at different times or in response to different situations. Genderfluid is related to other multigender identities, including genderflux.
Many subsets of genderfluid exist, including agenderfluid, bigenderfluid, xenofluid, and more. Some gender identities that can be fluid include contrastgender, octogender, and concegender. Genders that cross between genderfluid and genderflux include fluidflux and its subsets.

Pronouns
People who identify as gender-fluid may use a variety of pronouns depending on their gender identity at a given time. Some gender-fluid people may use they/them/theirs pronouns as a gender-neutral option that can be used regardless of their current gender expression. Others may switch between he/him/his and she/her/hers pronouns depending on their gender expression at a given time. Some gender-fluid people may also use neopronouns such as ze/zir/zirs, xe/xem/xyrs, or other neopronouns that feel more comfortable and affirming to them. It's important to respect and use the pronouns that a person has specified for themselves, as misgendering can be hurtful and invalidate a person's identity. If you're unsure of a person's pronouns, it's always best to ask them for their preferred pronouns.

Gender Types
Gender identity is a deeply personal and complex aspect of a person's identity, and it can vary widely from person to person. Some people identify as male, some as female, while others identify as non-binary, genderqueer, or another gender identity.
Gender identity refers to a person's internal sense of their own gender, which may or may not align with the sex they were assigned at birth. In other words, it is a person's subjective experience of their own gender.
Identity & expression
It's important to note that gender identity is not the same as biological sex, which is typically assigned at birth based on physical characteristics. Gender identity is also distinct from gender expression, which refers to how a person presents their gender to the world through clothing, hairstyle, behavior, and other factors.
Respect
It's important to respect and validate each individual's gender identity, regardless of how it may differ from societal expectations or traditional notions of gender. People should be able to express their gender identity in a way that feels authentic to them and should be able to access the rights and protections they need to live fulfilling lives.
