'''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%. | '''Genderflux''' is a [[gender identity]] that varies in intensity in time.

In 2014, Tumblr user deergoths coined the word to mean "experiences of variation in the intensity within a gender identity". Activist and fashion blogger [[Elliott Alexzander]] launched a clothing line called GenderFlux in 2015.<ref name="dict">{{Cite web |title=What Does Genderflux Mean? |author= |work=Dictionary.com |date=6 November 2018 |access-date=7 June 2020 |url= https://www.dictionary.com/e/gender-sexuality/genderflux/}}</ref> | The word "genderflux" dates back to at least 1994 when it was used in a Queer [[Pagan]]s newsletter, where it was used to mean "shifting between genders".
