đłď¸âđ Genderfluid Awareness Week | October 17â24 |
This week, GDPS is recognizing Genderfluid Awareness Week, a time to learn about, celebrate, and validate people whose experience of gender can shift or change over time.
What does genderfluid mean?
Genderfluid is a gender identity where someoneâs experience of their gender may change. A person might feel more connected to one gender at one time and another gender at another time. They might move between genders, experience multiple genders, experience no gender, or experience their gender in ways that donât fit neatly into one category.
Gender fluidity can look different for every person. There is no required pattern, frequency, appearance, pronoun set, or way of expressing yourself that makes someone âgenderfluid enough.â
A personâs gender might shift over days, weeks, months, or even within the same day. Some people notice clear changes; others experience something more subtle. Some people use different names or pronouns at different times, while others donât.
And importantly:
You donât have to look genderfluid to be genderfluid.
Your clothing doesnât determine your gender.
Your body doesnât determine your gender.
Your voice doesnât determine your gender.
Your pronouns donât have to change for your gender to be valid.
You donât have to prove that your gender has changed.
And you donât owe anyone an explanation.
If your gender moves, shifts, changes, expands, contracts, or simply doesnât stay in one place ~that experience is real and valid.
And if youâre questioning whether âgenderfluidâ fits you, you donât have to know for certain right away. Exploring your gender is allowed. Changing your label is allowed. Not using a label is allowed.
There is no wrong way to experience your gender. đłď¸ââ§ď¸
GDPS is a peer support space for gender diverse adults. We welcome trans, nonbinary, genderfluid, agender, questioning, and other gender-diverse experiences including people who are still figuring things out.
