'''Genderflux''' is a [[gender identity]] that varies in intensity | '''Genderflux''' is a [[gender identity]] that varies in intensity in 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/}}</ref> | ||
