Genderfluid

A gender identity that shifts over time or depending on context - between male, female, non-binary, and others - at varying rates and frequencies.

Gender + fluid (Latin fluidus, flowing). In community use since at least the 1990s.

Appeared in genderqueer communities from the 1990s; gained wider use through LiveJournal gender communities in the 2000s and Tumblr in the early 2010s. JJ Poole formalized it with the 2012 flag.

• "Genderfluid people are just confused." Genderfluid describes a genuine, consistent pattern of gender experience. The consistency is the fluidity.
