Genderflux is a gender identity that varies in intensity in time. It can be included under the genderfluid umbrella as well as the nonbinary and trans 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%.

The difference between these two identities is that genderflux involves fluctuation in the intensity of a gender identity, not necessarily the gender identity felt. However, genderflux can be seen as a specific type of genderfluidity, typically between a gender identity and agender.
