 ==History==
-In the 1990s and 2000s, it might have been more common for genderfluid individuals to call themselves bigender or genderqueer. Earlier than that, they may have called themselves cross-dressers. The word "genderfluid" has been in use since at least the 1990s, although with a different meaning. Transgender advocate Michael M. Hernandez wrote in 1996: <blockquote>"Gender-fluid means that their gender identity and/or [[Gender Presentation|expression]] encompass both masculine and [[feminine]]. Gender fluidity is becoming commonly known as transgenderness: the ability to transcend gender, whether biological, emotional, political, or otherwise; truly mixing male and female."<ref>Hernandez, Michael M. (1996). "Boundaries: Gender and Transgenderism". ''The Second Coming: A Leatherdyke Reader.''</ref></blockquote>The earliest recorded use of genderfluid, with a definition closer to the modern definition is in the Urban Dictionary "Gender Fluid" entry, which was added in 2007.<ref>http://web.archive.org/web/20161018191041/http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=gender+fluid</ref>
