* the feeling when an aircraft lands and/or takes off. |

* two things that are stuck together being pulled apart (the individual from the original gender) with strands of glue still connecting it. |
|||
* the gender is reluctant to "let go" and "holds on tightly" for a moment before "releasing." (in this experience of gender friction one might see this as a [[Genderspike|gender-spike]]). |
|||
* the gender resists changing, and this is felt in the form of friction/ragged edges. |

* the new and old gender struggling for control. |

* the unseating of a gender the individual has grown used to, by the new gender. |
|||
* a very fast, very raw, intense switching of genders. |

A low level of gender friction indicates a smooth transition between genders, and can involve the follow experiences/feelings: |

the old gender willingly relinquishing control for the new gender. |

* not noticing a gender switch until it has already occurred. |

* the melding of two genders, feeling indistinct from one another, during the change, instead of at odds. |

* genders being parallel as they move past each other. |

* a quiet/soft/slow gender switch. |

Gender Friction (also known as the magnitude of gender friction) is a genderfluid term to describe the level of friction experienced when switching between genders. This gender quality primarily occurs for individuals who are unigenderfluid (experiencing just one gender at a time) but can also occur in multigenderfluid or unigenderfluidflux individuals.
A gender with a high level of gender friction is called gender-frictive. A gender with a low level of gender friction is called gender-receptive.
Gender Friction is not an identity, as it describes the amount of friction experienced when switching genders but does not specify what amount. It is a qualitative measurement tool.
