Gênero-fluido
Gênero-fluido também conhecido como gênero fluido, género-fluido ou fluido de gênero é uma identidade englobada pelos termos guarda-chuva multigênero, não-binárie e transgênero. Indivíduos que são gênero-fluido possuem diferentes identidades de gênero em períodos diferentes. A identidade de gênero de alguém gênero-fluido pode incluir vários gêneros ao mesmo tempo e depois variar para gênero nenhum, por exemplo. Também pode ocorrer variações entre identidades de gênero singulares, ou mesmo uma combinação destes casos. Para algumas pessoas gênero-fluido, essas mudanças acontecem várias vezes durante o dia e, para outras, em períodos mensais ou ainda menos frequentes. As flutuações podem ocorrer tanto regularmente entre alguns gêneros específicos, (a exemplo de pessoas que flutuam entre dois gêneros, as quais podem incluir-se na identidade bigênero), enquanto outras podem ser totalmente inconstantes, de modo que algumas pessoas nunca saberão qual identidade terão em seguida.

Para facilitar a leitura, este artigo usa a palavra gênero-fluido para todas as pessoas que possuem fluidez de gênero. Algumas pessoas que são fluidas de gênero não adotam o termo "gênero-fluido". No lugar, é comum o uso de outros rótulos, como gênero queer, bigênero, multigênero, gênero-fae, poligênero etc. É importante entender que cada pessoa tem o direito de decidir como definir a própria identidade de gênero.
History
Kate Bornstein mentioned gender fluidity in 1994, in the book Gender Outlaw: On Men, Women and the Rest of Us, "and then I found that gender can have fluidity, which is quite different from ambiguity. If ambiguity is a refusal to fall within a prescribed gender code, then fluidity is the refusal to remain one gender or another. Gender fluidity is the ability to freely and knowingly become one or many of a limitless number of genders, for any length of time, at any rate of change. Gender fluidity recognizes no borders or rules of gender."[2]
A palavra "gênero-fluido" tem sido usada, pelo menos, desde os anos 90, embora com um significado um pouco diferente. O advogado transgênero Michael M. Hernandez escreveu, em 1996:
« | Gênero-fluido quer dizer que a identidade de gênero e/ou a sua expressão envolve tanto o masculino quanto o feminino. A fluidez de gênero vem se tornando comumente conhecida como transgeneridade: a habilidade de transcender o gênero, seja biológico, emocional, político, entre outros; realmente mesclando masculino e feminino. [3] | » |
Nos anos 1990 e 2000, pode ter sido mais comum para pessoas gênero-fluido se autodenominarem bigênero ou gênero queer. Antes disso, era comum ainda o termo cross-dresser (transformista).
The earliest extant entry for "gender fluid" in the Urban Dictionary was added in 2007.[4]
In 2010, the Gender-Fluid community was created on LiveJournal.[5]
In 2012, JJ Poole (tumblr user thoughtstoberemembered) created what would become the most widely-used genderfluid flag.[6][7]
Em 2014, "gênero-fluido" foi um dos 56 gêneros disponibilizados aos usuários do Facebook. [8]
In 2015, Dictionary.com added an entry for "gender-fluid,"[9] which it defined as an adjective meaning "noting or relating to a person whose gender identity or gender expression is not fixed and shifts over time or depending on the situation." It listed as synonyms genderfluid, gender fluid, and gender-flexible.[10]
« | "X" means a gender that is not exclusively male or female, including, but not limited to, intersex, agender, amalgagender, androgynous, bigender, demigender, female-to-male, genderfluid, genderqueer, male-to-female, neutrois, nonbinary, pangender, third sex, transgender, transsexual, Two Spirit, and unspecified.[12] | » |
Fatores que influenciam a fluidez de gênero
|
Usually, gender fluidity happens by itself, so that a person feels like, say, a girl at a certain time, rather than choosing to be a girl at a certain time.[13] Some genderfluid people find that no outside or inside things tend to influence their gender identity to change. They find that their gender fluidity is unpredictable and happens randomly. Other genderfluid people find that their gender changes depending on the situation and is influenced by inside or outside sources. Some move from one gender to the next on a regular cycle, resembling a lunar cycle, or synchronizing with their menstrual cycle. Other genderfluid people are sometimes able to use their willpower to guide their gender to change in a way and/or at the time that they want it to.
Ciclo menstrual e seu efeito na fluidez de gênero
Isso ainda não é muito claro, mas mudanças de gênero relacionadas ao ciclo menstrual podem ser causadas por como os níveis hormonais naturalmente aumentam e diminuem durante a menstruação. No entanto, também é possível acreditar, erroneamente, que a identidade de gênero se altera conforme o ciclo menstrual, e a única maneira de se ter certeza é manter isso em um diário. Tal registro mode funcionar assim:
Data | Identidade de gênero nesse dia | Dia no ciclo menstrual |
---|---|---|
09/03/2013 | Homem (o dia todo) | 14 |
10/03/2013 | Homem, depois mulher | 15 |
Após coletar dados suficientes, quaisquer padrões existentes deverão se tornar visíveis. Esses padrões podem incluir se sentir em um certo gênero durante um certo dia no ciclo menstrual, ou quando certo hormônio (como o estrogênio) está alto/baixo. Tabelas similares podem ser usadas para rastrear se certa identidade de gênero está relacionada a um ciclo diferente.
In 2012, Case and Ramachandran gave a report on the results of a survey of genderfluid people who call themselves bigender who experience involuntary alternation between female and male states. Case and Ramachandran gave this condition the name "Alternating gender incongruity (AGI)." Case and Ramachandran made the hypothesis that gender alternation may reflect an unusual degree (or depth) of hemispheric switching and the corresponding suppression of sex appropriate body maps in the parietal cortex. They "hypothesize[d] that tracking the nasal cycle, rate of binocular rivalry, and other markers of hemispheric switching will reveal a physiological basis for AGI individuals' subjective reports of gender switches... We base our hypotheses on ancient and modern associations between the left and right hemispheres and the male and female genders."[14][15][16] Case and Ramachandran believe that when bigender people feel a change between their gender identities, it may have to do with a change in how they use parts of their brains. The gender change might also have to do with a natural body cycle, specifically, a valve in the nose that changes sides every two days (the nasal cycle). However, this idea is still only a hypothesis, and more study is needed to confirm it.
Expressão de gênero
Pessoas gênero-fluidas costumam sentir necessidade de alterar sua expressão de gênero para corresponder ao seu gênero naquele momento. Isso pode significar possuir diferentes tipos de roupas em seu armário, de modo a poder se vestir de acordo com sua percepção de mulher, homem ou outro gênero, dependendo de como se sente naquele dia. Isso também pode significar alterar temporariamente o formato do seu corpo por meio de binding, packing, próteses de peito, ou tucking. Todavia, em algumas situações, a mudança da expressão de gênero não é possível. Isso pode acontecer porque as mudanças acontecem mais de uma vez por dia , pois a pessoa não parece andrógena, ou porque ela não se sente segura de se aparentar de certa forma na Sociedade.
Pessoas gênero-fluidas não necessariamente parecem andrógenas. Elas não precisam ter um rosto, corpo ou vestimentas ambíguas.
Gender dysphoria, or feeling painfully uncomfortable about how one's body and social role don't match one's gender, isn't a requirement in order to be genderfluid. Each person is different, experiencing gender fluidity in their own way. Some genderfluid people experience gender dysphoria at times or all the time. Some want to change their bodies and some take a physical transition to do so, which may include hormones or surgery. Others don't choose to transition because any change they make to their body would only feel right to them when they were in a certain gender and would feel wrong in others. Yet others have a difficult time planning their transition path, because their feelings change about what they want.[17][18]
Some genderfluid people ask to be called by a different name[18] and pronouns depending on what gender they feel at a certain time. For people who switch between only two genders, this can mean switching between two names. These may be feminine and masculine versions of the same name[19] or names that don't sound similar at all.[20] They may also take a gender-neutral name that works for them at any time, either in addition to these names, or instead of them.
Fluidez de gênero e Transtorno Dissociativo de Identidade
Pessoas gênero-fluido geralmente não consideram ter múltiplas identidades. A maioria delas se considera sempre a mesma pessoa. com os mesmos gostos e desgostos. No entanto, algumes gênero-fluides alternam entre diferentes personalidades conforme seus gêneros também mudam, assim como seus interesses. Isso é diferente de Transtorno Dissociativo de identidade (DID, em inglês), que é um distúrbio causado pela dissociação e existência de outras identidades. Esse transtorno está frequentemente associado a traumas de abuso sofridos na infância, e quase sempre coexiste com PSPT ou PSPT-C (Pertubação de Stress Pós-traumático e Pertubação de Stress Pós-traumático Complexa, respectivamente). A Fluidez de Gênero não é causada por abuso e não é tão comum em pessoas com PSPT ou PSPT-C.
Sistemas múltiplos/plurais onde algumas identidades possuem gêneros diferentes não caracterizam automaticamente o gênero-fluido. Entretanto, uma identidade individual pode sê-lo.
