'''Genderfluid''' is a [[gender identity]] which refers to a [[gender]] that varies, or changes over time. This can be occasionally, every month, every week, every day, or even within a few moments depending on the person. Sometimes it is consistent and sometimes it is not.

A genderfluid person's gender may change dramatically, delicately, rapidly, or slowly also depending on the person. The gender may stay the same for several months or change within minutes. Sometimes the gender changes in response to different circumstances, which is known as [[mutogender]].

Genderfluid is under the [[multigender]] umbrella. Genderfluid individuals may also identify as [[non-binary]] or [[transgender]], but do not have to.

Genderfluid is related to [[genderflux]], in the sense that both genders fluctuate, but the difference is that genderflux fluctuates in intensity and genderfluid just in gender. Genderfluid is also an umbrella term for [[genderfaunet]], [[genderfaer]], [[genderfloren]], [[genderfrith]], [[genderspirit]], and [[genderfruct]].

==History==

The first known mention of the word genderfluidity was in [http://katebornstein.com/ Kate Bornstein]'s book, [https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1188173.Gender_Outlaw Gender Outlaw: On Men, Women and the Rest of Us], in May 12th 1994.<ref>https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1188173.Gender_Outlaw</ref> Genderfluid has been in use since at least the 1990s, however with a sometimes with different meanings. Trans advocate Michael M. Hernandez wrote in 1996 '''"'''Gender-fluid means that their gender identity and/or expression encompass both [[Masculinity|masculine]] and [[Femininity|feminine]]. Gender fluidity is becoming commonly known as transgenderism: the ability to transcend gender, whether biological, emotional, political, or otherwise; truly mixing [[Man|male]] and [[Woman|female]].'''"''' <ref>Hernandez, Michael M. (1996). "Boundaries: Gender and Transgenderism". ''The Second Coming: A Leatherdyke Reader''.</ref>

In the 1990s and 2000s, it was more common for a genderfluid individual to call themselves either [[bigender]] or [[genderqueer]]. The earliest dictionary entry for genderfluid was in 2007 on the Urban Dictionary.<ref>http://web.archive.org/web/20161018191041/http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=gender+fluid</ref> In 2010, the Gender-Fluid community was created on LiveJournal.<ref>http://web.archive.org/web/20180902233001/https://gender-fluid.livejournal.com/profile</ref><ref>http://web.archive.org/web/20170517233316/http://gender-fluid.livejournal.com/</ref> On August 2nd 2012, [https://lostinthoughtspaceandfantasies.tumblr.com/ lostinthoughtspaceandfantasies] on Tumblr came up the official and original genderfluid flag (that is known about).<ref name=":0" /> Lostinthoughtspaceandfantasies, also known as JJ Poole, would later go on to do an interview about it.<ref>https://majesticmess.com/2018/12/20/interview-creator-of-the-genderfluid-flag/</ref>

Annouced on May 6th 2015, Dictionary.com added an entry for genderfluid, which it defined as an adjective meaning "noting or relating to a person whose gender identity or [[Gender Expression|gender expression]] is not fixed and shifts over time or depending on the situation."<ref>http://web.archive.org/web/20161024123050/http://blog.dictionary.com/2015-new-words</ref><ref>http://web.archive.org/web/20161225113707/http://www.dictionary.com/browse/gender-fluid</ref> On September 26th, [[User:Hologramv|<bdi>Hologramv</bdi>]] made an alternative flag for genderfluid.<ref>[[:File:Genderfluid flag redo.png|File:Genderfluid flag redo.png]]</ref>
