If you want you can also identify as genderqueer and/or genderweird. It doesn't work for me, because my gender sort of slides up and down in intensity, but it may be right for you, I don't know. I also came across the term anogender, which apparently means that your gender fades in and out, but it is always the same when it is there. So genderflux people are genderfluid, but not all genderfluid people are genderflux. So far as I know genderflux is usually considered a subset of genderfluid. I am new to this myself, so I am no expert. Hiya, genderflux here (I think, I have been questioning lately and only just started to identify as genderflux) The definition I quoted comes from the link. I know that ultimately, I am the only person that can decide but I would appreciate it if others could either share their stories so I can compare or suggest some terms for me to research. I know that genderflux can be seen as a type of genderfluid according to this little blurb here I suppose I could identify as genderlfuid like I originally thought but I'm not so sure after my last inquiry. I feel like i experience each gender as it's own and the gender switches flowing into each other are more like one gender acknowledging the other (sorry if that doesn't makes sense but that is the best way I can explain it) rather than the intensity of a gender changing. This is primarily because the definition states that it, " is a gender identity in which the strength of feelings of gender varies over time" and I don't feel like the strength of my gender fluctuates. However after reading up on it, the term doesn't feel right to me. I've begun to think I could be genderfluid but when I tried describing my experiences on a genderfluid support blog they gave me the term genderflux to look into. I also feel female more often than the other genders but it's probably less than 50% of the time. When I do experience a switch in genders it is like one gender flows into the other one. I noticed that sometimes I felt things like gender neutral, androgynous, some genders I can't quite put names too, combinations of genders, sometimes nothing in particular, demi-girl and female but never male or masculine on it's own. At this time I had also learned about some gender identities that helped me to begin to put together what I was feeling. They even seemed to be more noticeable on days when I was acutely uncomfortable and looking at them made the discomfort worse. Well since April, I've been feeling uncomfortable again but this time I was desperately wishing for my boobs to be either smaller or gone. I never felt the need to say anything to anyone since I am afab and didn't want to deal with being called a special snowflake or whatever. One day I was on tumblr and found the term demi-girl and thought "hey-that's me!" and just carried on with life. When I got to college so much was going on that I rarely noticed the discomfort in my skin. This didn't really help so sometimes I tried to present femininely but usually it just made me more uncomfortable or simply off.
#Gender flux vs genderfluid skin
I tried wearing hoodies and jeans nearly daily because I was 1) lazy and 2) just didn't feel comfortable in my skin so I figured I might as well try to be as comfy as I could be. I just know that a lot of the time I felt very uncomfortable in my body but some days I was relatively okay with it. I could never really pin point what it was. I never really understand why but I always felt that it was more than just a bad self-image. This only increased during and after puberty. For the longest time I attributed it to not being comfortable wearing things deemed as girly/feminine such as dresses, skirts, pink and glittery things, wearing makeup etc. I'm afab and I've never felt completely like a girl. I've been feeling very confused lately about my gender identity. I also discuss what I assume is dysphoria and I try not to go into too much detail about this but I wanted to give you all a heads up just in case. I'm going to try and explain this using the best language that I can since I'm still learning.
