-'''Genderfluid''' refers to someone whose [[gender]] identity changes over time. A genderfluid person can identify as any gender, or combination of genders at any given time. Their gender can change at random or it may vary in response to different circumstances. One's gender can change over the course of hours, days, weeks, months, or years. For some people their gender changes on a somewhat consistent "schedule", for others their gender changes at random times. Some genderfluid people can be fluid between all genders, or a large amount of genders. Other genderfluid people are fluid between a small handful of genders.

 Genderfluid can be a gender identity on its own or it can be used as an umbrella term to describe anyone whose gender changes. For example, a [[bigender]] person who feels more strongly male sometimes and more strongly female other times may identify as genderfluid.
-Genderfluid people may also identify as [[multigender]], [[Non-Binary|non-binary]] and/or [[transgender]]. Genderfluid people who feel as though only part of their gender is fluid may identify as [[demifluid]]. People who feel like the intensity of their gender changes or feel they are sometimes [[agender]] may identify as [[genderflux]].

 ==History==
-In the 1990s and 2000s, it might have been more common for genderfluid people 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:

 "Gender-fluid means that their gender identity and/or expression encompass both masculine and feminine. Gender fluidity is becoming commonly known as transgenderism: the ability to transcend gender, whether biological, emotional, political, or otherwise; truly mixing male and female."<ref>Hernandez, Michael M.
