Gender fluidity is a term for people who feel like their gender is say, a sliding scale. One day, they may feel male, one day, female, and one day something different. It's pretty common, moreso than you think.
To be honest I'm skeptical towards people saying they have this issue because I've noticed that only until it had become trendy in certain spheres of society that a lot of people said they identify as it.
I get the whole, "I'm asexual" scenario from it, that yes there are people that are asexual but so-many said it to be trendy.
I'd also like to ask how does someone "feel" like a biological construct? Do you mean male and female or man and woman? I hear there's a difference so I just want to make sure we are on the same page.
If it's a case of them feeling like the view of what a man and woman is, do you not think that this idea of genderfluid relies heavily on the idea that the stereotypes of men and women are generally true? Because who factors what it is to feel "like a man" or "woman".
If I say, I feel like a man, I feel strong and confident.
Then a woman says, "I feel like a woman, I feel strong and confident", then is one of them gender fluid even if neither believe they are?
I guess my point is here is that in order to be gender fluid we have to separate men and women and restrict them to stereotypes in order for this gender fluid concept to exist, which is sonething I don't feel too comfortable with.
It's hard to ask something about oneself when no one else seems to be talking about it,that's why. And I have no idea it was trendy nowadays. I don't hang out on the internet too much(except when I need to),and the sites I visit are limited,so I have no idea about it being trendy.
And yeah,putting men and women in stereotypes is not something uncomfortable to be dealt with,so I understand you. Mine doesn't had to do anything with confidence. It ranges from my own body,clothing and other personal stuff to the gender of the people I suddenly look and give a wondered stare at,and other things which might seem weird and technically different to other people of my biological gender,but are good and normal to opposite genders. Again,I had no idea it was a trend,and I don't care about that trend thing. :)
Maybe I can simplify it. Haveyou heard of K-pop? Its like a Korean genre of music/style, I think.
They wear make up and come off as girly, they wear make up, stereotypical girly gestures, etc. Would being gender-fluid be similar to a metalhead dressing and acting like a metal head and then next day deciding to portray themselves as K-Pop?
If so then I have an idea of what it may be like. I've said this before and if I can remember people weren't too happy, just know that no offense is intended.
Could it be that being gender fluid is just the changing of style and gesture at the expense of gender norms? I remember when I was younger I'd like to change my style and with every change of style I'd change my gestures, the way I speak, the phrases I'd say, right down to the way I walked, sometimes my tone of voice.
Would that be similar to being gender-fluid with the exception of not staying in the lane of male styles and personalities?
Because if that's the case it sounds more simple than I hear people making it, that it can be simplified to just being somebody having a variety of different styles and each individual style an individual decides to have that day, a different set or social aspects such as gestures accompany them?
If so, I don't see a problem with the concept of gender-fluid, nor do I see any valid reason to have an issue with it.
Is it normal to have multiple genders?
