Boyflux, manflux or guyflux is a gender under the genderflux umbrella describing someone who feels mostly or fully masculine the majority of the time but experiences fluctuating masculinity and intensity of their male identity. This typically involves feeling strongly masculine sometimes and weakly masculine at other times. Boyflux people can fluctuate from feeling completely without gender to completely masculine or male. In between those extremes, one may feel slightly masculine, to half masculine, to mostly masculine—but not fully—, or any other amount of masculinity. Some people may move smoothly between intensities while others may quickly jump between intensities.
A boyflux person may also experience other, non-masculine, genders, but this is not necessarily related to their boyflux identity.
History
The terms boyflux and girlflux were coined by Tumblr user kitsuneshay on August 19, 2015, in order to describe their own identity.[1]

The three large stripes of blue represent varying levels of masculinity. The meanings of the five small stripes are as follows: pink represents female and feminine genders, purple stands for genders between male and female, the green is there for genders outside of the binary, the white for the lack of gender (agenderness or similar identities), and grey for unknown or unnamed genders.
