+'''Genderflux''' is a [[gender identity]] that varies in intensity over time.  It can be included under the [[genderfluid]] umbrella as well as the [[Nonbinary gender|nonbinary]] and trans [[Umbrella term|umbrellas]].  Some people conceptualize genderflux as being fluid between an [[agender]] identity and one or more other gender identities.  Another way to conceptualize it is by imagining the intensity of one or more gender identities as ranging from 0% to 100%. One genderflux person described it thus: "The idea is that my gender, and by extension my presentation, is sometimes a really, really loud version of itself and sometimes it's quiet, but it's always there."<ref name="Cavanaugh">{{Cite web |title=Cavanaugh, 25, Talks About Genderflux Identity and the Value of Self-Care #AMPLIFY |author=Sue |work=Pittsburgh Lesbian Correspondents |date=30 November 2015 |access-date=19 March 2021 |url= https://www.pghlesbian.com/2015/11/cavanaugh-25-talks-about-genderflux-identity-and-the-value-of-self-care/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230708141432/https://www.pghlesbian.com/2015/11/cavanaugh-25-talks-about-genderflux-identity-and-the-value-of-self-care/ |archive-date=17 July 2023 }}</ref>

-Darker pink represents female. Lighter pink represent demigirl. Lightest color represent genderless/agender. Light blue represents demiboy. Darker blue represents male.

+The difference between these two identities is that genderflux involves changes in the intensity of a [[gender identity]], not necessarily changes in the gender identity felt.  However, genderflux can be seen as a specific type of [[Genderfluid|genderfluidity]], typically between a gender identity and [[agender]].
-Genderflux is a [[gender identity]] in which the intensity of gender varies over time. A genderflux individual will go from feeling gendered to genderless.  Another way of putting it: genderflux is a form of genderfluid that fluctuates between being any gender and agender.  <ref>http://genderqueerid.com/gq-terms</ref><ref>http://genderfluxsupport.tumblr.com/def</ref>
+==History==
+The word "genderflux" dates back to at least 1994 when it was used in a Queer [[Pagan]]s newsletter, where it was used to mean "shifting between genders". In 2014, Tumblr user deergoths, aka bigendeer<ref name="crushing" />, coined the word to mean "experiences of variation in the intensity within a gender identity". Activist and fashion blogger [[Elliott Alexzander]] launched a clothing line called GenderFlux in 2015.<ref name="dict">{{Cite web |title=What Does Genderflux Mean? |author= |work=Dictionary.com |date=6 November 2018 |access-date=7 June 2020 |url= https://www.dictionary.com/e/gender-sexuality/genderflux/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230701110959/http://www.dictionary.com/e/gender-sexuality/genderflux/ |archive-date=17 July 2023 }}</ref><ref name="genderfluxfashion">{{Cite web |title=#GENDERFLUX Crowdfunding Campaign to Produce Genderless Fashion Collection |work=dapperQ |date=14 April 2016 |access-date=25 July 2020 |url= https://www.dapperq.com/2016/04/genderflux-crowdfunding-campaign-produce-genderless-fashion-collection/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221130073744/https://www.dapperq.com/2016/04/genderflux-crowdfunding-campaign-produce-genderless-fashion-collection/ |archive-date=17 July 2023 }}</ref>
-Example: A genderflux female may go from feeling female to part female (demigirl) to genderless (agender).  It is not limited to binary genders.
+==Genderflux characters in fiction==
+There are many more [[Nonbinary gender in fiction|characters in fiction who have a gender identity outside of the binary]]. The following are only some of those characters who are specifically called by the words genderflux, either in their canon, or by their creators.
-Genderflux can be used as a adjective or label (Ex: I am a Genderflux Demiboy), as a noun (Ex: Yesterday I experienced a really intense genderflux), or as a verb (Ex: I genderflux.  My gender intensity changes). <ref>http://crushingthebinary.tumblr.com/genderflux</ref>
+*In the 2019 YA book ''In the Silences'', Cori describes themself as "genderflux [[femme]]".<ref>{{cite book|title=In the Silences|year=2019|last=Roberts|first=Ann|publisher=Bella Books|ISBN=9781642471267}}</ref>
-Genderflux individuals may also identify as [[nonbinary]], [[genderqueer]] and/or [[transgender]].
