Some people wake up each day knowing exactly who they are. Others wake up, look in the mirror, and feel that something has shifted—again. If that sounds familiar, you might already understand what it means to be genderfluid.
Being genderfluid doesn’t mean you’re indecisive. It doesn’t mean you’re confused. It means your gender moves. It lives, it breathes, and yes—sometimes it flows.
At 72gender.com, we define genderfluid as a gender identity that shifts over time. That shift can be slow or fast, consistent or unpredictable. For some, it moves between “male” and “female.” For others, it includes a wide range of identities, including agender, bigender, or entirely personal definitions.
But no matter how it moves, one truth remains: it’s real.
“Who Am I Today?” Doesn’t Mean “I Don’t Know Who I Am”
Let me tell you about Rae, a reader who reached out after one of my first blogs. They said this:
“I thought something was wrong with me because one week I felt completely like a woman, and the next I just… didn’t. I started feeling masculine in ways I couldn’t explain. Some days I didn’t feel like any gender at all. I didn’t know there was a word for it—until I found ‘genderfluid’.”
Rae’s story isn’t rare. In fact, I’ve heard it more than once. The relief that comes with finding a word that reflects your experience is indescribable. It’s not about limiting yourself—it’s about finally being seen.
Fluidity Doesn’t Make You Less Valid
Too often, genderfluid people are questioned or invalidated. “Pick a side.” “Stop changing your mind.” “You’re just doing this for attention.” These messages are harmful—and they miss the point entirely.
Your gender isn’t less valid because it changes. It doesn’t become “fake” because it doesn’t stay the same.
Think of it like the ocean. It shifts with the wind, the moon, the tide. But it’s always the ocean.
Your identity is just as real—even when it moves.
The World Isn’t Always Built for Fluidity
Let’s be honest: society likes fixed categories. Genderfluidity challenges that. Filling out forms, choosing locker rooms, navigating pronouns in public—it can be exhausting.
That’s why small moments of recognition matter so much. A friend who asks, “What pronouns feel right today?” A partner who doesn’t flinch when you dress differently from one day to the next. A website that says, “We see you.”
And that’s what we’re building here at 72gender.com: a space where change is not just accepted—but understood.
Clothes, Names, and the Freedom to Shift
Genderfluid people often express themselves through clothing, hairstyle, or even different names or pronouns depending on the day. That’s not costume. That’s alignment.
You don’t have to explain your outfit to match your identity. You don’t need to justify a shift in how you speak, walk, or exist. It’s not about performing a gender. It’s about honoring how you feel right now.
Some genderfluid people change their pronouns daily. Others don’t. There’s no rulebook. That’s the beauty of it.
For the Genderfluid Person Still Questioning
If you’re still figuring it out—if you’re reading this with a flutter in your chest and wondering “Could this be me?”—I want you to know:
You don’t need to have all the answers today.
You don’t need to have the right word yet.
You don’t need to make it make sense for everyone else.
Your experience is already valid. Your story is already yours.
Take your time. Explore. And if genderfluid feels like a word that fits, try it on. You’re allowed.
