	'''Genderfluid''' ~~aka~~ '''gender-fluid, gender fluid, or fluid gender,''' is an identity under the [[multigender]], [[nonbinary]], and [[transgender]] umbrellas. Genderfluid individuals have different [[Gender identity\|gender identities]] at different times. A genderfluid individual's gender identity could be multiple genders at once and then switch to none at all, or move between single gender identities, or some other combination therein. For some genderfluid people, these changes happen as often as several times a day and for others, monthly, or less often. Some genderfluid people regularly move between only a few specific genders, perhaps as few as two (which could also fit under the label [[bigender]]), whereas other genderfluid people never know what they'll feel like next.

	Genderfluid people usually don't think of themselves as having alters. Most genderfluid people feel like the same person all the time, with the same likes and dislikes but a different gender. However, some genderfluid people switch between specific personas as they change genders, and each persona has their own likes and dislikes. This is different from Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), which is a disorder characterized by dissociation and the existence of alters. DID is frequently caused by traumatic abuse that happens early in childhood and almost always exists alongside PTSD or cPTSD. Gender fluidity is not caused by abuse and is not more common in people with PTSD or cPTSD.		Genderfluid people usually don't think of themselves as having alters.

			Linguistic research by Zimman and Hayworth suggests that the term "genderfluid" appeared the discourse of gender-related [[Livejournal]] communities in the '00s.

	<blockquote> I identify as a switch, or a pendulum, and my masculinity and femininity are very related. When I present masculine for a while, my femininity comes back with a vengeance (laughs). I get depressed when I feel stuck in one mode. If I present just masculine for too long, I end up feeling grey, lifeless, like all the colour has been drained from my life. You know how boys grunt and move their bodies very sparsely, their shoulders and hips. This is the most, and the longest I have stayed in predominantly masculine mode.
