-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.

-Multiple/plural systems where some alters have different genders from the others are not automatically genderfluid.  However, an individual alter can be genderfluid.
