"If you're not addressing them in the way they want to be addressed then you're not addressing them at all" such true words, they have such a beautiful way of speaking, this is really lovely to watch
@@noscopeingnarwhal9913 Lets take a moment to pause, and look at what you just wrote, shall we? This is what most functioning members of society call discrimination. You are entitled to your beliefs, yes, but when you go around and say things like your comment, that is targeting people for their identity, for who they are, and that is by no means OK. Also, maybe fix your grammar and take out the first-grader-level insults and maybe then you won't look ignorant.
When Josie said. “If you aren’t address them they way they want them your not addressing them at all” I found that to be a silly notion, reason being, if I say “hello sir” and then a fluid person says “those aren’t my pronouns” then they just responded to me calling them sir, thus they have been addressed by sir and acknowledged it making it real. That’s what I meant in the first half of my comment, I may have interpreted what Josie said wrong and it may be a petty thing to argue over but that’s what I meant. For the second part when I said “gays, bi’s, and trans, I’ll explain what I meant for each one. When I said gays I was referring to lesbian and gay people and how we have two words for something that just can be described equally with one, but that’s just an off topic opinion not a fact as I implied in my original comment. When I said Bi’s I must have meant that they only like one or the other and not both, but I no longer believe and furthermore I don’t actually remember why I put bi’s into my OG comment to begin with. Finally trans people, in my OG comment when i said trans people ignore facts for their feelings I meant that from our current scientific understandings and my personal beliefs, that they ignore the fact that they can’t completely 100% physically change their sex with HRT, but I do believe that with enough effort they can, at least mentally, become a woman or a man. So that’s what I originally (mostly) intended to say in my comment, and I’m sorry for any confusion I may have caused. Lastly, you are entitled to your own opinions :)
im so glad to see all the other genderfluid people online. i dont know anyone in person with a gender identity that isnt cis and its refreshing to know im not alone as genderfluid
@A M. Do you, know what cis means??? You sound like you're either against this video, but are horrible confused, or you're trying to make a point about how gender is dead but you're phrasing it in a weird way that suggests that everyone is trans.
It deserved a dick check. If people want to act this ridiculous why can't we. I have no idea anymore girl boy, any of this bullshit and I, along with most people don't care for it. I'm tired of a minority of people making the majority change their lives to appease a minority of people all in the sake of good when it is clearly evil. I can't believe people are so fuckin dumb
@@e2dd459 No it doesn't deserve a "dick check", that's just straight up sexual harassment. Just because a person says they're genderfluid, non-binary etc, that doesn't mean you have the right to grab their crotch to see if they have a dick or not. Grow tf up. If a person says their genderfluid respect it, use their pronouns, don't "dick check" them. It's none of your business to see if they're a girl or a boy. You have no right to check if they are, that's just sick of you to do so.
@A M. that's a whole complicated discussion that I can't rly get into in a comment. But I was saying just because some has a vagina, it doesn't mean they have a female brain and the label "female" fits them. Transgender people exist.
@A M. "The definitions are based in the social stereotypes and roles "typically associated with each sex." - Only in the context of biological roles, more specifically the roles in reproduction. Males produce sperm and females produce eggs, no exceptions. "Gender Identity" has been coined by trans ppl to mean, basically,. "How i feel." and they want that "feeling" (that subjective sense of their inner-self) to be recognized as objective reality (as their objective, physical identity) by society. Once you look closely at the issue it's clear a person's subjective inner self (feelings/thoughts etc.) have nothing to do with "the state of being male or female". That "state" is not a mental , subjective one, it's a physical state of being. It's objective. It's the same "state" whether we're conscious or not, awake or asleep. Dead or alive. It's the same in every species, not just the human animal. Do we need to know the thoughts and feelings of a dog or a giraffe, dead or a live, to KNOW for sure that they're male or female (or were, when they were alive)? The human is no different, we're all mammals. We're all part of the animal kingdom.
Multiple people were interviewed? Fk I only saw the scenes with that chick. Oh shit my mistake, didn’t realize what I was taught in English was really really offensive.
mark spannar I don’t want to seem rude, but that is technically true but not in the way you may think. ACTUAL genderfluid people (like this person) experience gender dysphoria which is what causes them to be uncomfortable in their gender assigned at birth (all trans people have this). This comes from a physical difference between them and cisgender people. Their brain has characteristics that match the opposite gender. That is what causes the gender dysphoria. Although your brain’s characteristics can’t just change, their amount of dysphoria can. Genderfluid people just have a dysphoria that fluctuates at very extreme rates. That is all! Thank you for reading this and have a good day. Again, I am not trying to offend or attack you in any way, shape, or form. 👍
As a genderfluid, I've been blessed with a genderfluid best friend. We are both mostly in the closet and we support each other with any daily struggle we face.
These comments are literally so ignorant?? All of y'all need to know that just because you don't understand someone doesn't meant that you don't respect them. Smh I lost brain cells reading all of these comments.
@@idksamir As a genderfluid I respect that but I do feel like a boy, a girl, neither, and both. But that is how I feel. But there is still more to discover about the human brain.
Does it matter I mean If we aren’t hurting anyone what’s the harm? And we didn’t know about male and female brains until recently so can’t there be more to learn about the brain?
Look y'all, just because you don't understand it doesn't mean it's not real. You are incredibly lucky to identify exactly as you were told you should by society. But for people who don't fit that mold it's really hard. It's not a biological thing: their bodies don't magically change, but gender is above that. It is to do with how you feel. Like if you're a cis woman, sometimes you might wake up one day feeling feminine as heck, so you might do some make up and put on a dress or whatever. Other days you might not be feeling that as strongly so you might just wear jeans and a t shirt. Everyones gender fluctuates slightly from day to day, but some people wake up and feel strongly of the opposite gender. or they don't feel any connections to either. or they strongly feel both. It is about gender expression and how you are perceived by others. There are still so many things about the brain that we don't know. And you can't just say that it's not a thing cause there isn't 'proof' of it. These people aren't just fucking around you know. And it's hard to be your true self under the scrutiny of everyone who thinks your core identify doesn't exist
Me: *nodding head* Thank you for finally bringing up the fact that you should call people my what they want to be called. I'm nonbinary so this is relatable
I’m gender fluid myself. This person is very real, while being funny at some parts. The fact that anyone would touch anyone without consent is so fucked up. I’m trying to come out to the kids at school, but being KNOWN for being the way I am is what I worry about. Like, I’m just human, I don’t want a label
I just wanted to comment that is heartwhelming to see that the amount of likes is way bigger than the disliked and the comments are actually supporting. It's so wholesome.
Gender fluid isn't biologically possible, because the brain can't change it's gender according to how you feel. But still I'm going to respect their prounoums, because it's not my problem. I might think it's dumb and useless, bug if someone is confortable that way and doesn't push it on you, let em be
I feel the same way. I have a gender fluid friend and I love them and would never tell them how to live their life, but I agree with you. I don't understand it or agree that their is another gender, but it's not me and I respect them.
bug. loves BTS yeah I agree. my general rule of thumb is that if I haven't experienced something myself I can never fully understand. it doesn't really make sense to me, but that's only because I am very secure in my own gender. whatever they are feeling isn't something I can understand.
@alan tutorial were humans not creatures, have some respect, only because we have a different gender identity or Sexuality doesn't mean our insides are different, doesn't mean our body is different, we all breath the same air, we all eat, we all drink, we all do the same exact stuff, it's honestly stupid that people think we act differently because of our gender or Sexuality
another question i have is what makes them feel like a different gender. like what specifically do you feel when you say you feel when you feel like a girl or a guy or nothing.
- ̗̀ moonchild ̖́- I just wanted to answer your question as a gender fluid person. There isn’t a right answer. Everyone has there own way of “knowing”. Sometimes I wake up and I simply feel more masculine than feminine and prefer a different pronoun but other times I may feel masculine and my pronouns may stay as she/her. For me it’s more of a headspace thing that becomes physical where I want a flatter chest or something like that. I don’t know if his answers your question but I tried? Also I love your profile picture!
I'll address you by whatever name you want to be addressed, but if you get offended because I referred to you with a different pronoun, then that's on you. I'm not going to purposely try to offend you, but I'm not going to walk on eggshells cause you're fragile either, regardless of your gender. If you're a high-strung cis-male, I don't want to talk to you either.
Honestly, if I request to be preferred by a certain pronoun and you at least try, I'll be happy. I accidentally forget to use certain pronouns for someone a lot, and I just correctly my self and apologize.
Thank you for giving this interview. I consider myself genderfluid and you help. Like..... a lot. Just knowing that there are more people like me. I feel sometimes.... like I don't really exist. Knowing that parts of my family don't believe that all of what genderfluid makes does exist. I'm asian and.... yeah... the stereotyp idea is kinda hard on display in my family. Watching hisde my heart go light. I really deeded this. Maybe I can come out atleast to friends bc they just kinda think I'm trans wich doesn't really fit... Yeah.. thought that aswell 2 years ago. So I wanted to say thank you. Gonna stop talking. Thank you a lot for telling people we exist and how we feel like.
I have some questions, if you dont mind. You dont have to answer if you feel uncomfortable. 1) how do you know you are not confusing gender expression with gender? 2) how do you deal with dysphoria/euphoria about the same physical aspects? This is just an example, but how do you deal with hating your chest one day, and loving it on the next?(i say chest, but you could say hips, hand size, etc.) 3) if you plan on transition, how will you do it?
Meh_Im_a_Sheep Hey. Sorry I didn't see your comments earlyer. 1) It's kind of wierd. Actually I really hope I understood your question right. So I always was kind of off. As a girl I couldn't right fit in. Like. Of cause I could just be a girl with some more manelyer aspects. That's what I thought. But than with beeing a teenager came the thing with my body changing. That's question 2, so thats for later. I didn't know what was wrong so I just dealt with it. In 7th grade I got to know what trans is. I started dressing up as a guy. Got into cosplay as aswell some kind of excuse to buy wigs. I thought I meight be trans. After binding I felt so much happyer... And my friends seemed to think I'm trans too. Like.... they had a bed going on when I'll come out..... after two years on thinking I'm trans I got that I sometimes felt girly... totally wierd. On one day I wanted to wear dresses.... like once in two month. On other days it made me so uncomfortable.... hard to explain... Just... I didn't feel like I fit in any category. Considert myself just.... mysrelf. Than I got nonbinary but I changed to much. Till now I fit into gender fluid the best. After somewhere 5 years.... So I hope I got it right. 2) So.... that's a hard one. I do hape my breast most of the time. I'm mostly on the male or just non side. I dislike my really small hands. My face is actually manly with short hair. Thats just side info. I really can't deal with it often. I wear big cloth. I plan on getting a binder as soon as possible. My mother doesn't want me too. Even for cosplay... I'll buy cloth in the mens section. Used Menshampoo. I actually don't like my chest even as a female.... just. Nothing against girls you look nice with them. For me it's gross. But you get used to it? I'm not that big. I just tell myself that between how I look like and feel like is difference. That nothing is wrong with that. 3) I don't plan on transitioning. I can't say I'm happy with my body. I often watch how people speak about it on youtube and I really want it but first of all I need to keep my annoyingly high voice. I'm preparing to get into a singing konservatorium(don't know if it's called so in english) and yeah. With my family coming out will be impossible. They not exactly against LGBTQ+ but it kind of doesn't exist for my ma. They won't believe me. I'm sorry for all the personel things I wrote. It's fine bc were anonymous. Just... most is bound with my life expiriances. I hope I answerd your questions and helped you. And what I said may be different for other fluid people. Keep thzt in mind. If you don't understand something I said feel free to write me. I try my best yo explain it better. My english kind of died. It's 2am where I live..... One question I have. Why did you ask? Just out of interest. Have a great day/night. ~Len
@@magnuslenlove1372 hey. I just asked out of pure interest and curiosity. I can never get into my head how someone can have a gender that is fluid. And I'll be honest, from what i read, you seem like a normal trans guy that is a bit feminine at times. And thats ok. There are men that like to crossdress and look like women, but they are still men(because they don't have disphoria and all that). Btw, there is this ftm youtuber named ryan cassata that isn't taking hormones because he sings too. Maybe you can relate with him(at least the last time i saw his channel, he said that). But, i will respect how you identify, since you probably spent a lot of time trying to know who you are. Wish you the best luck :)
@@meh_im_a_sheep6018 hey! I'm nonbianary and although i don't identify as gender fluid specifically, i thought i could offer some insight, at least about the dysphoria part. So for me, there are some things i almost always have dysphoria about and other things i rarely have dysphoria about. So for example, i have pretty consistent dysphoria about my period, but i only have chest dysphoria every couple of months at the most. I also sometimes get dysphoria if i look too masculine, sometimes if i look too feminine, and even sometimes if i look too androgynous. I don't really know why my dysphoria is different at different times, and it's obviously not something i can control. I think that sometimes it's hard for binary trans folks to grasp changing dysphoria, just like it's hard for a lot of cis people to understand dysphoria at all. That doesn't mean there's no legitimacy in it, it just means that most people are still learning about how big an weird gender 8is
When I have to check a box of what gender I am, I always stop and just stare at it wondering if it's gonna allow me to check multiple boxes lol. Feeling like a tiny pixel in the plus is also an everyday feeling for me, feels good to finally hear another genderfluid say that too
I will never be able to understand because I was born as a girl, I feel like a girl and I truly believe I’m a girl BUT JUST cuzz of my own situation, I am not allowed to judge others. I respect them and I wish them TO BE HAPPY!!!❤️❤️❤️
I personally believe that gender itself isn't fluid, as a trans guy. I believe there is male or female or a simple absence of gender. That's what scientific studies have proven so far upon researching the human brain. However expression can be as fluid as you like. That being said, I would respect this individual and use their pronouns. It's not a matter of whether I agree with their identity, it's a matter of respect for another human individual.
As someone who always helps trans people, binary or not, it really hurts to see that no matter how I want to make every LGBTQI+ person to feel valid, some of these people still doesn't want *me* to feel valid. I don't know if this makes any sense to you but anyway... yeah. You can't "desagree" with somebody identity. Respect them or not, but you can't just say "I respect you, but I think your identity is wrong". I don't want to offense you, but I want you to understand that people reads comments and it can hurt them.
@@amaeliss7827 I'm sorry but that's simply not true. What about those who identify as 'autismgender' or identity as a dinosaur? Or what about those who 'identify' as a different age or ethnicity? Whether you like it or not these identities are not backed up by science. Until it is proven scientifically, I will not believe nor understand that the human brain is capable of rewiring itself to move between multiple genders at once. I will support everyone. Use everyone's pronouns. But my opinion remains the same. I think it's great that you help people and I commend you for that. I never want to hurt anybody. However I must say that I tend to value the facts more than I value the idea of tiptoeing around everybody's feelings.
I dont get why people on this comment section are hating on them so much...Like its okay that it is difficult for you to wrap your head around something new but you should not just say a person is mentally ill just because they represent something out of your mental spectrum. And just going out there and saying something doesnt exist just because you have never heard of it is wrong. Sorry guys, hate to break this to you but gender fluidity exists
It's not that no one has heard of it, it's just that genderfluid literally isn't a real thing. Trans people are people who have dysphoria for a gender that wasn't assigned to them at birth. Genderfluid people supposedly fit under the trans umbrella but there's no possible way the amount of estrogen or testosterone in one's brain can fluctuate to the point where they work like fluid. You can't choose your gender. It's not a spectrum. Trans people (as an ex.) like FTM people, have a male brain but a biologically female body, which is the imbalance that causes dysphoria ans the reason why they transition. If you are comfortable with your birth gender you are not trans, and since genderfluid people are, they are invalid.
"it's difficult to you to wrap your head around something new". It is not new to a lot of us but that doesn't change the fact that it doesn't exist. I once believed in the existence of gender fluidity and I could (and still can) undersand the concept, it's not even something hard to understand. The point is that it's not real.
Parkjimin. Stan. People who have been alive since before the millennial generation have seen this gender craze develop, especially in impressionable teenagers. Before this generation, people who didn't feel comfortable about gender norms often presented androgynously. No-one needed to invented new genders. When people have different opinions from other people it is not hate it is discussion of different points of view. Healthy discussion is good, especially if the debating sides can provide scientific evidence to support their points. Discussion is good thing to practice. Sometimes we have to give you reality, it would be errant not to.
Whenever I refer to a person by them instead of saying (he or she) people look at me weirdly and when I explain that it is actually gramatically correct fo refer to a person you dont know the gender of as a “they” or them People get confused and say its easier if you say(he of she) but yes its not about whats easier for you its about what the other person prefers
I’m skeptical of gender fluidity as a label. In some ways all people are gender fluid to a degree, because gender isn’t a strictly defined concept. But I agree that you should address people in the way they want to be addressed. If someone wants to be called “them”, I think you should call them “them”, regardless of how you feel about the gender identity philosophy. I think they made good points.
The word "them" signifies plurality. Why should and would I bend basic grammatical rules for these attention-seeking cretins? I can support homosexuality, but telling me to support some "genderless" freak is just pushing it a little too far. As it stands, there are three pronouns for humans. "He," "She," or "it". Nothing else. "He," is used for males, "She," is used for females, and should anyone happen not to "fall" within the two, they shall be referred to as "it," by default.
Endelig Gnist the pronoun “they” can actually be used as a singular or plural pronoun. it’s been used historically as both, although predominantly as singular.

I've been questioning wether I'm gender fluid for awhile I think I am but I still want to be sure before I come out it's so good to see someone else who is on here talking about it it clears up how I've been feeling as well so thank u ❤️
I've had someone refer to me as an it and I cried right there infront of them. It hurts. To feel as if your just this thing because you feel differently.

Let me stop you at the first sentence buckaroo, being nonbinary is part of being fluid but they aint the same thing, please research more about fluidity because the first sentence cause a fight or flight reflex in my gender fluid self
Is there anyone who kind of silently identifies as gender fluid, the way I do? I never really felt like anything; if I was born in a "boy-body", that'd have been fine too. I always kind of rebelled against having to play with girl-toys and wear dresses, so I was regarded as a "tomboy". But at some point I liked dresses too. I had a crush on my best friend (girl) growing up, but have only had relationships with guys (currently as well). It's hard for me to understand that someone is transgender, because I don't feel like I am either gender, and can't really imagine what that'd feel like. I never came out.. I just think of myself as "me", and I am attracted to personalities (usually my best friend, no matter the gender). Never felt the need to label it, because it feels as if that'd limit me in a way that wouldn't feel complete.
They're so handsome and pretty! And I love what they said at the end: "If you are not addressing them in the way they want to be addressed, then you are not addressing them at all. You are just kind of overlooking them and not acknowledging their presence in a way."
just this so much respect for them, this is really accurate LOVE the half beard btw! I'm actually doing the same with my hair omg, one side is short and ones side is longer and i can interchange, but it's not like short is guy and and long is girl to me because it is not that simple at all, at least to me. i'm trying to figure out what i am, i don't know if i'm gender fluid or if i should go by general nb, because i'm not sure if it's my gender that changes, or my perception of my gender, sometimes i feel guy like, sometimes i don't feel either specifically, and sometimes i'm super uncomfortable with the female aspects and perceptions of myself and how i present myself, and sometimes i'm okay passing as female day to day to others. But i have never related to the fact i'm 'female', it's never been relatable to me. idk. but even though it changes i don't know if it's my gender that changes, or my perception of it is or what i'm okay with on specific days and such, cuz it's mostly reliant on how i present, and since usually i present as how people would expect me to be, that's how i'll be. like what if i'm nb and sometimes i'm okay being interpreted as female, and sometimes i'm not? idk also with pronouns, i'm literally okay with anything, he, she, they, etc it's all the same to me, i could be any and all, sometimes being 'she' annoys me but only because that's other peoples default, that's what i always am to others (although i REALLY try not to think about it like that), so maybe would prefer for it to be mixed up a little more, called them all? although those female 'pet names' are the worst thing, being called those will instantly make me angry inside i hate how that's normal to some people, no one likes that, i swear not even cis girls like them, they're dumb and annoying and useless uhhh.. sorry for the monologue..i needed this.. anyway, thank you for this video xx
Im so happy to see Gender fluidity gaining more light. It really is a mouthful to try and explain what it all means, so Im greatful for this video! Mad love and respect! :3
My object identity has always been clear. I am definitely a firetruck. I don’t really know how to identify as anything else ... it wasn’t a choice; it was more of a fact of life for me. I'm a firetruck.
The absolute beauty in the way they explained gender fluidity and the struggles we still go through in terms of sexism, transphobia, etc. is incredible. I have never seen someone explain it so clearly and so accurately
It’s okay to forget. I won’t get offended if you slip and call me by my birth pronouns or name. I get offended if you do it on purpose or brush over it like “Ah well, I knew u before u were fluid so it’s okay” or “You’ll change eventually so it doesn’t matter” It does matter. It is me. I’m sure you wouldn’t mind if I forgot your name once or twice, but if I actually knowingly went about calling you another name than the one you told me repeatedly how would it feel?
I like how they expressed themselves in such a calm and clear way. Very different from other people I've seen standing up and explaining this issue. You go.
Durga, if you ever come to the UK, let's have a party. I'm so happy to know you exist. I'm so sorry about those Russian men. Truly strong people can tolerate others differences.
That’s so weird how they said “It’s very rare to meet a genderfluid person” two of my closest friends are genderfluid. In a town of 1000. At least 2/1000 are genderfluid
It requires a large random population to calculate frequency of a variation in the human population. A town of 1000 people is not large enough nor generalisable to other populations.
Can someone please explain to me how someone can be gender fluid? I understand that gender is a spectrum, and that if your body can be intersex, then it should seem possible for your brain to be non-binary. But I don't understand how someone's gender can just change. (Even though I don't understand it, I'm still going to respect their pronouns).
Izzy there is a biological neurological brain map of the own sense of the body in every human, but since brain can develop independently from body in womb, one can be born with conflicting information, which causes bodily dysphoria, (which is required to be trans.) and for some gender fluid, the sensation can flux from day to day due to hormonal changes. Most folks and most trans folk don’t have the sense change through their life, so it’s difficult for many to understand. Some gender fluid have sense of all gender/both genders at the same time. So everyone wishes to identify with the group of people their brain fits with, even if the body is considered socially tied to a presumed sex organ and corresponding traditional social roles.
in our grade at school we have a gender fluid person, my friends thought it was really weird and one of them said 'ew thats so gross though' and me being a fully supportive person to everyone, i was about to go off
I am genderfluid. I use female pronouns and I am Female. But my gender expression is fluid. Sometimes I wanna dress like a girl and be girly. Other times I wanna be manly, but I am still a girl. I would say that genderfluid is more about your expression of your gender than what you want to be
I'm not pushing you down dude at all, I'm just a little confused by your wording. How are you genderfluid if you are still a girl when you're feeling more masculine? are you trying to express how you're still biologically female while feeling male? Idk because if you're feeling masculine but still feeling like a girl then that's more gender nonconforming than genderfluidity is it not? I'm not trying to gatekeep or anything I'm just a little confused :)
I find it very unfair that the default position when asked “isn’t ‘they’ plural” is to be offended. It’s a very valid question since grammatically, ‘they’ is a plural term. If the question is asked genuinely, no offence is intended or should be taken.
@@markbradley4408 no, what do you call somebody when you don’t know their gender? “Hey look at that person! They have cool shoes.” Or “the person on the phone said they’re dropping off your package later today”
I needed this so bad beacuse i am most likely fluid. Some days i wanna be a guy, some days i wanna be a girl, and some days i wanna be just, me. Edit: ahaha I’m non-binary now👌 Call me Red!
Okay! Hi red, I’m ainsley. I’m glad I was given a unisex/ gender neutral name at birth, but I kinda wanna change it. Anyway, I’m here to say something... YOU ARE VALID AND ANYONE THAT SAYS DIFFERENT CAN GO JUMP OFF A MICROWAVE
Hello red yesterday i was a boy but now im the coulour orange in a few days might feel like taxi🥰🤪🧡🙊🙅♂️🙅♀️🚕 lol im such a crackhead like omg. I am bigenderapanseksual
My friend just came out as genderfluid. It’s really hard for me to fathom that someone can be different genders at different times. I totally respect her and am trying to educate myself
Thank you for the fact that, even though you find it hard to fathom, you respond to it respect and try to educate yourself We know it's hard to fathom, but that is literally all we ask
THIS MADE ME SO HAPPY OMG OKAY I LOVR THEIR FACIAL HAIR SMMMM OMFGGG (im also genderfluid btw and GOD it feels so gooood to see this video ansnxndjdk) Edit: ok i might not be genderfluid just trans xdddd but still rocks Edit 2: no wait i think i Am genderfluid but i dont fuckin know anymore😭😭😭😭
This helped me a lot. I am not gender fluid but lately I have been trying to read more about gender fluidity and agender. I'd just like to undertand how they feel. As a living, breathing person it is my job to take consideration how other people feel and to be respectful to their situation. If only everyone else tries to understand. Also this person is like really beautiful? They are just gorgeous like wow
A lot of these kinds of people are really nice. I’m not really one to believe in the same idea that there are spectrums of gender. You are who you are and no one can or should change that. What I don’t want is for people to tell me that I have to go off pronouns that they feel is more comfortable for them. You gotta accept what you were born as and move on and do great things and live your best life without letting people get to your head just because they called you a pronoun you don’t want to be called. This is a human thing to do because we are automatically aware of the reality in our earlier stage of life that there are two genders. male and female. Like I said, don’t let what people say get to you. If you can’t accept this then I hope you can somehow get closure and move forward in your life.
I dont really feel feminine and I am mostly attracted to females. So people automatically assume I am lesbian. But I am not lesbian. I like men too. And I also don't feel like a female. For a long time I wondered if I was a transman, but then I don't really know if that's what I want. Right now, I think I am gender neutral, as I don't feel either gender. But I simply address myself as Queer.
This is a normal part of identity development during teens and young adulthood. If it wasn't;t for all the hype, you probably wouldn't;t be giving it as much attention.
I love some of these comments 🥺 I feel really appreciated. My mom doesn't accept me and said I'd always be her little girl and said that she'd never call me the name I feel comfortable with so uh...thank you all ;-;
Why is the concept of gender fluidity so hard to understand ?? The balance of gender in a gender fluid person's brain is just constantly changing. If someone asks you to refer to them with a certain pronoun, then just do it ??? It's really not that hard. If a MD/PHD asks you to refer to them as "Dr." then it would be disrespectful not to right ?? Same thing goes for gender fluid people. If someone asks you to refer to them with "they/them" pronouns, that's not them asking you to "conform" to their preferences, thats them asking you to respect their identity as a human being. Standard ways to refer to binary society was made based on a cis/het world. Not at least attempting to use proper pronouns for people is gender fluid erasure.
A M. We tell people our gender pronouns. I personally wear pronoun pins that have my pronouns written on them. I have a they, a he, and a she pronoun pin. I change them as my gender changes.
@A M. Its not pseudoscience theres plenty of research that has gone into scientifically identifying the existence of gender fluid people (of course there could always be more research done, but people prevent this from happening with gender fluid erasure practices). Of course you cannot "guess" someones gender everyday, but if you misgender someone on accident and they ask you to refer to them with different pronouns, then it is only respectful to do so. Also, its not "respectfully disagreeing" when you don't agree with the entire existence of a sub set of the human species, its called convenient ignorance. Respectfully disagreeing only applies to opinions that have little to no moral consequences, like what is the best color or what the best food is. It's understandable that you may feel uncomfortable and confused when it comes to the existence of gender fluid people, but it is important to remember that every human deserves respect that transcends their social identity.
A M. Well, I’m normally really uncomfortable in my female body on male/nonbinary days. Sometimes I weirdly feel like I don’t know how to walk when I’m nonbinary. Generally, people don’t notice that there’s a more feminine or masculine way to walk but when I’m nonbinary, I just don’t know how to walk. When I’m female, I’m normally fine with my thigh/chest size and weight and curves, but when I’m different gender I’m aware of EVERYTHING that makes me feminine and it’s horrible. It feels like I’m trapped in the female body of someone else. I’m female at birth and on days that I’m male or nonbinary, hearing she/her/hers pronouns used for me feels like I’m being forced to listen to nails on a chalkboard. The same goes for days that I’m female and have male/nonbinary pronouns used for me. If you have any more questions or need more clarification, feel free to ask.
A M. I feel heavy body dysphoria any day that I am not female. Sometimes I feel dysphoria with some of my female characteristics but not other. And I know there is no “male” or female” way to walk, but I couldn’t find any other way to explain that. Honestly I’m not asking you to understand or respect the gender identity itself, just please respect the pronouns. That’s all I can ask you to do. I’m not asking you to change your view on gender. Just use the pronouns I feel comfortable with on certain days.
In old days people would question your ideas, maybe joke about it.... it would take a few days or weeks but you would be back to normal. But in these days there are idiots who will support such insanity.

"If you're not addressing them in the way they want to be addressed then you're not addressing them at all" such true words, they have such a beautiful way of speaking, this is really lovely to watch
@@noscopeingnarwhal9913 Lets take a moment to pause, and look at what you just wrote, shall we? This is what most functioning members of society call discrimination. You are entitled to your beliefs, yes, but when you go around and say things like your comment, that is targeting people for their identity, for who they are, and that is by no means OK. Also, maybe fix your grammar and take out the first-grader-level insults and maybe then you won't look ignorant.
Olivia Rugani: you’re mostly right, my comment sucked and didn’t express what I felt and was really confusing to read. So let me reiterate.
When Josie said. “If you aren’t address them they way they want them your not addressing them at all” I found that to be a silly notion, reason being, if I say “hello sir” and then a fluid person says “those aren’t my pronouns” then they just responded to me calling them sir, thus they have been addressed by sir and acknowledged it making it real. That’s what I meant in the first half of my comment, I may have interpreted what Josie said wrong and it may be a petty thing to argue over but that’s what I meant. For the second part when I said “gays, bi’s, and trans, I’ll explain what I meant for each one. When I said gays I was referring to lesbian and gay people and how we have two words for something that just can be described equally with one, but that’s just an off topic opinion not a fact as I implied in my original comment. When I said Bi’s I must have meant that they only like one or the other and not both, but I no longer believe and furthermore I don’t actually remember why I put bi’s into my OG comment to begin with. Finally trans people, in my OG comment when i said trans people ignore facts for their feelings I meant that from our current scientific understandings and my personal beliefs, that they ignore the fact that they can’t completely 100% physically change their sex with HRT, but I do believe that with enough effort they can, at least mentally, become a woman or a man.
So that’s what I originally (mostly) intended to say in my comment, and I’m sorry for any confusion I may have caused. Lastly, you are entitled to your own opinions :)
@@noscopeingnarwhal9913 Thank you for reiteriating. This is a lot clearer, and comes across better.
Sorry but calling you by your birth name IS addressing you..literally by name. What you want to be called is at the persons discretion addressing you.

@@e2dd459 No it doesn't deserve a "dick check", that's just straight up sexual harassment.

@A M. that's a whole complicated discussion that I can't rly get into in a comment. But I was saying just because some has a vagina, it doesn't mean they have a female brain and the label "female" fits them. Transgender people exist.
@A M.
"The definitions are based in the social stereotypes and roles "typically associated with each sex." - Only in the context of biological roles, more specifically the roles in reproduction. Males produce sperm and females produce eggs, no exceptions. "Gender Identity" has been coined by trans ppl to mean, basically,. "How i feel." and they want that "feeling" (that subjective sense of their inner-self) to be recognized as objective reality (as their objective, physical identity) by society. Once you look closely at the issue it's clear a person's subjective inner self (feelings/thoughts etc.) have nothing to do with "the state of being male or female". That "state" is not a mental , subjective one, it's a physical state of being. It's objective. It's the same "state" whether we're conscious or not, awake or asleep. Dead or alive. It's the same in every species, not just the human animal. Do we need to know the thoughts and feelings of a dog or a giraffe, dead or a live, to KNOW for sure that they're male or female (or were, when they were alive)? The human is no different, we're all mammals. We're all part of the animal kingdom.
But honestly they are super attractive🙆

Wait, if you are going to use 'they' in singular form, isn't the correct grammar 'they is so pretty' ?
they are so cool and confident, and articulated themself really well! love this interview, definitely something that needs to be more talked about
mark spannar I don’t want to seem rude, but that is technically true but not in the way you may think. ACTUAL genderfluid people (like this person) experience gender dysphoria which is what causes them to be uncomfortable in their gender assigned at birth (all trans people have this). This comes from a physical difference between them and cisgender people. Their brain has characteristics that match the opposite gender. That is what causes the gender dysphoria. Although your brain’s characteristics can’t just change, their amount of dysphoria can. Genderfluid people just have a dysphoria that fluctuates at very extreme rates. That is all! Thank you for reading this and have a good day. Again, I am not trying to offend or attack you in any way, shape, or form. 👍

@@idksamir me too... I lost many instead... 😆
@@idksamir As a genderfluid I respect that but I do feel like a boy, a girl, neither, and both. But that is how I feel. But there is still more to discover about the human brain.
Does it matter I mean If we aren’t hurting anyone what’s the harm? And we didn’t know about male and female brains until recently so can’t there be more to learn about the brain?
Look y'all, just because you don't understand it doesn't mean it's not real. You are incredibly lucky to identify exactly as you were told you should by society. But for people who don't fit that mold it's really hard. It's not a biological thing: their bodies don't magically change, but gender is above that. It is to do with how you feel.
Like if you're a cis woman, sometimes you might wake up one day feeling feminine as heck, so you might do some make up and put on a dress or whatever. Other days you might not be feeling that as strongly so you might just wear jeans and a t shirt. Everyones gender fluctuates slightly from day to day, but some people wake up and feel strongly of the opposite gender. or they don't feel any connections to either. or they strongly feel both.
It is about gender expression and how you are perceived by others. There are still so many things about the brain that we don't know. And you can't just say that it's not a thing cause there isn't 'proof' of it. These people aren't just fucking around you know. And it's hard to be your true self under the scrutiny of everyone who thinks your core identify doesn't exist

- ̗̀ moonchild ̖́- I just wanted to answer your question as a gender fluid person. There isn’t a right answer. Everyone has there own way of “knowing”. Sometimes I wake up and I simply feel more masculine than feminine and prefer a different pronoun but other times I may feel masculine and my pronouns may stay as she/her. For me it’s more of a headspace thing that becomes physical where I want a flatter chest or something like that. I don’t know if his answers your question but I tried? Also I love your profile picture!

I'll address you by whatever name you want to be addressed, but if you get offended because I referred to you with a different pronoun, then that's on you. I'm not going to purposely try to offend you, but I'm not going to walk on eggshells cause you're fragile either, regardless of your gender. If you're a high-strung cis-male, I don't want to talk to you either.
Honestly, if I request to be preferred by a certain pronoun and you at least try, I'll be happy. I accidentally forget to use certain pronouns for someone a lot, and I just correctly my self and apologize.

Mad FACTS
Thank you for giving this interview. I consider myself genderfluid and you help. Like..... a lot. Just knowing that there are more people like me. I feel sometimes.... like I don't really exist. Knowing that parts of my family don't believe that all of what genderfluid makes does exist. I'm asian and.... yeah... the stereotyp idea is kinda hard on display in my family. Watching hisde my heart go light. I really deeded this. Maybe I can come out atleast to friends bc they just kinda think I'm trans wich doesn't really fit... Yeah.. thought that aswell 2 years ago. So I wanted to say thank you. Gonna stop talking. Thank you a lot for telling people we exist and how we feel like.
I have some questions, if you dont mind. You dont have to answer if you feel uncomfortable.
1) how do you know you are not confusing gender expression with gender?
2) how do you deal with dysphoria/euphoria about the same physical aspects? This is just an example, but how do you deal with hating your chest one day, and loving it on the next?(i say chest, but you could say hips, hand size, etc.)
3) if you plan on transition, how will you do it?
Meh_Im_a_Sheep Hey. Sorry I didn't see your comments earlyer.
1) It's kind of wierd. Actually I really hope I understood your question right. So I always was kind of off. As a girl I couldn't right fit in. Like. Of cause I could just be a girl with some more manelyer aspects. That's what I thought. But than with beeing a teenager came the thing with my body changing. That's question 2, so thats for later. I didn't know what was wrong so I just dealt with it. In 7th grade I got to know what trans is. I started dressing up as a guy. Got into cosplay as aswell some kind of excuse to buy wigs. I thought I meight be trans. After binding I felt so much happyer... And my friends seemed to think I'm trans too. Like.... they had a bed going on when I'll come out..... after two years on thinking I'm trans I got that I sometimes felt girly... totally wierd. On one day I wanted to wear dresses.... like once in two month. On other days it made me so uncomfortable.... hard to explain... Just... I didn't feel like I fit in any category. Considert myself just.... mysrelf. Than I got nonbinary but I changed to much. Till now I fit into gender fluid the best. After somewhere 5 years.... So I hope I got it right.
2) So.... that's a hard one. I do hape my breast most of the time. I'm mostly on the male or just non side. I dislike my really small hands. My face is actually manly with short hair. Thats just side info. I really can't deal with it often. I wear big cloth. I plan on getting a binder as soon as possible. My mother doesn't want me too. Even for cosplay... I'll buy cloth in the mens section. Used Menshampoo. I actually don't like my chest even as a female.... just. Nothing against girls you look nice with them. For me it's gross. But you get used to it? I'm not that big. I just tell myself that between how I look like and feel like is difference. That nothing is wrong with that.
3) I don't plan on transitioning. I can't say I'm happy with my body. I often watch how people speak about it on youtube and I really want it but first of all I need to keep my annoyingly high voice. I'm preparing to get into a singing konservatorium(don't know if it's called so in english) and yeah. With my family coming out will be impossible. They not exactly against LGBTQ+ but it kind of doesn't exist for my ma. They won't believe me.
I'm sorry for all the personel things I wrote. It's fine bc were anonymous. Just... most is bound with my life expiriances. I hope I answerd your questions and helped you. And what I said may be different for other fluid people. Keep thzt in mind. If you don't understand something I said feel free to write me. I try my best yo explain it better. My english kind of died. It's 2am where I live..... One question I have. Why did you ask? Just out of interest. Have a great day/night.

@@magnuslenlove1372 hey. I just asked out of pure interest and curiosity. I can never get into my head how someone can have a gender that is fluid. And I'll be honest, from what i read, you seem like a normal trans guy that is a bit feminine at times. And thats ok. There are men that like to crossdress and look like women, but they are still men(because they don't have disphoria and all that). Btw, there is this ftm youtuber named ryan cassata that isn't taking hormones because he sings too. Maybe you can relate with him(at least the last time i saw his channel, he said that). But, i will respect how you identify, since you probably spent a lot of time trying to know who you are. Wish you the best luck :)
@@meh_im_a_sheep6018 hey! I'm nonbianary and although i don't identify as gender fluid specifically, i thought i could offer some insight, at least about the dysphoria part. So for me, there are some things i almost always have dysphoria about and other things i rarely have dysphoria about. So for example, i have pretty consistent dysphoria about my period, but i only have chest dysphoria every couple of months at the most. I also sometimes get dysphoria if i look too masculine, sometimes if i look too feminine, and even sometimes if i look too androgynous. I don't really know why my dysphoria is different at different times, and it's obviously not something i can control. I think that sometimes it's hard for binary trans folks to grasp changing dysphoria, just like it's hard for a lot of cis people to understand dysphoria at all. That doesn't mean there's no legitimacy in it, it just means that most people are still learning about how big an weird gender 8is
I love how they have 1 side of boy and 1 side of girl on there face. they completely own it
They do a very good job explaining this I may use this to help me come out to my dad #GENDERFLUIDPRIDE

I personally believe that gender itself isn't fluid, as a trans guy. I believe there is male or female or a simple absence of gender. That's what scientific studies have proven so far upon researching the human brain. However expression can be as fluid as you like. That being said, I would respect this individual and use their pronouns. It's not a matter of whether I agree with their identity, it's a matter of respect for another human individual.
Biologically you're the gender you born with, but that's besides that. You can identify however you believe.
Same
Newt Lockstone, gender fluid people are valid, please don't make it harder for them, don't be part of the problem.
As someone who always helps trans people, binary or not, it really hurts to see that no matter how I want to make every LGBTQI+ person to feel valid, some of these people still doesn't want *me* to feel valid. I don't know if this makes any sense to you but anyway... yeah. You can't "desagree" with somebody identity. Respect them or not, but you can't just say "I respect you, but I think your identity is wrong". I don't want to offense you, but I want you to understand that people reads comments and it can hurt them.
@@amaeliss7827 I'm sorry but that's simply not true. What about those who identify as 'autismgender' or identity as a dinosaur? Or what about those who 'identify' as a different age or ethnicity? Whether you like it or not these identities are not backed up by science. Until it is proven scientifically, I will not believe nor understand that the human brain is capable of rewiring itself to move between multiple genders at once. I will support everyone. Use everyone's pronouns. But my opinion remains the same. I think it's great that you help people and I commend you for that. I never want to hurt anybody. However I must say that I tend to value the facts more than I value the idea of tiptoeing around everybody's feelings.

I dont get why people on this comment section are hating on them so much...Like its okay that it is difficult for you to wrap your head around something new but you should not just say a person is mentally ill just because they represent something out of your mental spectrum. And just going out there and saying something doesnt exist just because you have never heard of it is wrong.
Sorry guys, hate to break this to you but gender fluidity exists
It's not that no one has heard of it, it's just that genderfluid literally isn't a real thing. Trans people are people who have dysphoria for a gender that wasn't assigned to them at birth. Genderfluid people supposedly fit under the trans umbrella but there's no possible way the amount of estrogen or testosterone in one's brain can fluctuate to the point where they work like fluid. You can't choose your gender. It's not a spectrum. Trans people (as an ex.) like FTM people, have a male brain but a biologically female body, which is the imbalance that causes dysphoria ans the reason why they transition. If you are comfortable with your birth gender you are not trans, and since genderfluid people are, they are invalid.
"it's difficult to you to wrap your head around something new". It is not new to a lot of us but that doesn't change the fact that it doesn't exist.
I once believed in the existence of gender fluidity and I could (and still can) undersand the concept, it's not even something hard to understand. The point is that it's not real.
Parkjimin. Stan. People who have been alive since before the millennial generation have seen this gender craze develop, especially in impressionable teenagers. Before this generation, people who didn't feel comfortable about gender norms often presented androgynously. No-one needed to invented new genders. When people have different opinions from other people it is not hate it is discussion of different points of view. Healthy discussion is good, especially if the debating sides can provide scientific evidence to support their points. Discussion is good thing to practice. Sometimes we have to give you reality, it would be errant not to.
Whenever I refer to a person by them instead of saying (he or she) people look at me weirdly and when I explain that it is actually gramatically correct fo refer to a person you dont know the gender of as a “they” or them
People get confused and say its easier if you say(he of she) but yes its not about whats easier for you its about what the other person prefers
❤️
Still gonna assume pronouns until they say otherwise. Only time I’ll address a person by “they” without them telling me to is if they look androgynous
@@Champ0222 I mean hey, at least you'll respect the pronouns if they do explicitly tell you. That's good in my book.

I’m skeptical of gender fluidity as a label. In some ways all people are gender fluid to a degree, because gender isn’t a strictly defined concept.
But I agree that you should address people in the way they want to be addressed. If someone wants to be called “them”, I think you should call them “them”, regardless of how you feel about the gender identity philosophy. I think they made good points.
The word "them" signifies plurality. Why should and would I bend basic grammatical rules for these attention-seeking cretins? I can support homosexuality, but telling me to support some "genderless" freak is just pushing it a little too far.
As it stands, there are three pronouns for humans. "He," "She," or "it". Nothing else. "He," is used for males, "She," is used for females, and should anyone happen not to "fall" within the two, they shall be referred to as "it," by default.
Endelig Gnist the pronoun “they” can actually be used as a singular or plural pronoun. it’s been used historically as both, although predominantly as singular.
@@teddythebear111 No, it can't. "Them," and "they," are used for people involving plurality. That's basic grammar.

@@jamiesilver7401 no, logic.
There is a scientific brain without binary. That's what gender fluid people are living on, not actually switching genders. There you go, logic.
Is there anyone who kind of silently identifies as gender fluid, the way I do? I never really felt like anything; if I was born in a "boy-body", that'd have been fine too. I always kind of rebelled against having to play with girl-toys and wear dresses, so I was regarded as a "tomboy". But at some point I liked dresses too. I had a crush on my best friend (girl) growing up, but have only had relationships with guys (currently as well). It's hard for me to understand that someone is transgender, because I don't feel like I am either gender, and can't really imagine what that'd feel like. I never came out.. I just think of myself as "me", and I am attracted to personalities (usually my best friend, no matter the gender). Never felt the need to label it, because it feels as if that'd limit me in a way that wouldn't feel complete.
I was born a man, I am still a man but in my heart, I am a true lesbian, so, any lesbian out there, who would like to be friends?
It takes 30 years to finaly realize that I am a genderfluid. My Gender swing between my masculine and feminin side which is a wide spectrum.

LOVE the half beard btw! I'm actually doing the same with my hair omg, one side is short and ones side is longer and i can interchange, but it's not like short is guy and and long is girl to me because it is not that simple at all, at least to me. i'm trying to figure out what i am, i don't know if i'm gender fluid or if i should go by general nb, because i'm not sure if it's my gender that changes, or my perception of my gender, sometimes i feel guy like, sometimes i don't feel either specifically, and sometimes i'm super uncomfortable with the female aspects and perceptions of myself and how i present myself, and sometimes i'm okay passing as female day to day to others. But i have never related to the fact i'm 'female', it's never been relatable to me. idk. but even though it changes i don't know if it's my gender that changes, or my perception of it is or what i'm okay with on specific days and such, cuz it's mostly reliant on how i present, and since usually i present as how people would expect me to be, that's how i'll be. like what if i'm nb and sometimes i'm okay being interpreted as female, and sometimes i'm not? idk
also with pronouns, i'm literally okay with anything, he, she, they, etc it's all the same to me, i could be any and all, sometimes being 'she' annoys me but only because that's other peoples default, that's what i always am to others (although i REALLY try not to think about it like that), so maybe would prefer for it to be mixed up a little more, called them all? although those female 'pet names' are the worst thing, being called those will instantly make me angry inside i hate how that's normal to some people, no one likes that, i swear not even cis girls like them, they're dumb and annoying and useless uhhh..
sorry for the monologue..i needed this..
anyway, thank you for this video xx

It does matter. It is me. I’m sure you wouldn’t mind if I forgot your name once or twice, but if I actually knowingly went about calling you another name than the one you told me repeatedly how would it feel?

Can someone please explain to me how someone can be gender fluid?
I understand that gender is a spectrum, and that if your body can be intersex, then it should seem possible for your brain to be non-binary. But I don't understand how someone's gender can just change.
(Even though I don't understand it, I'm still going to respect their pronouns).
Izzy there is a biological neurological brain map of the own sense of the body in every human, but since brain can develop independently from body in womb, one can be born with conflicting information, which causes bodily dysphoria, (which is required to be trans.) and for some gender fluid, the sensation can flux from day to day due to hormonal changes. Most folks and most trans folk don’t have the sense change through their life, so it’s difficult for many to understand. Some gender fluid have sense of all gender/both genders at the same time. So everyone wishes to identify with the group of people their brain fits with, even if the body is considered socially tied to a presumed sex organ and corresponding traditional social roles.

I am genderfluid. I use female pronouns and I am Female. But my gender expression is fluid. Sometimes I wanna dress like a girl and be girly. Other times I wanna be manly, but I am still a girl.
I would say that genderfluid is more about your expression of your gender than what you want to be
I'm not pushing you down dude at all, I'm just a little confused by your wording. How are you genderfluid if you are still a girl when you're feeling more masculine?
are you trying to express how you're still biologically female while feeling male?
Idk because if you're feeling masculine but still feeling like a girl then that's more gender nonconforming than genderfluidity is it not?

As a living, breathing person it is my job to take consideration how other people feel and to be respectful to their situation. If only everyone else tries to understand.
Also this person is like really beautiful? They are just gorgeous like wow
A lot of these kinds of people are really nice. I’m not really one to believe in the same idea that there are spectrums of gender. You are who you are and no one can or should change that. What I don’t want is for people to tell me that I have to go off pronouns that they feel is more comfortable for them. You gotta accept what you were born as and move on and do great things and live your best life without letting people get to your head just because they called you a pronoun you don’t want to be called. This is a human thing to do because we are automatically aware of the reality in our earlier stage of life that there are two genders. male and female. Like I said, don’t let what people say get to you. If you can’t accept this then I hope you can somehow get closure and move forward in your life.
I dont really feel feminine and I am mostly attracted to females. So people automatically assume I am lesbian. But I am not lesbian. I like men too. And I also don't feel like a female. For a long time I wondered if I was a transman, but then I don't really know if that's what I want. Right now, I think I am gender neutral, as I don't feel either gender. But I simply address myself as Queer.
How do you feel like a man or women?
This is a normal part of identity development during teens and young adulthood. If it wasn't;t for all the hype, you probably wouldn't;t be giving it as much attention.

No we do not.
Why is the concept of gender fluidity so hard to understand ?? The balance of gender in a gender fluid person's brain is just constantly changing. If someone asks you to refer to them with a certain pronoun, then just do it ??? It's really not that hard. If a MD/PHD asks you to refer to them as "Dr." then it would be disrespectful not to right ?? Same thing goes for gender fluid people. If someone asks you to refer to them with "they/them" pronouns, that's not them asking you to "conform" to their preferences, thats them asking you to respect their identity as a human being. Standard ways to refer to binary society was made based on a cis/het world. Not at least attempting to use proper pronouns for people is gender fluid erasure.
Period.
A M. We tell people our gender pronouns. I personally wear pronoun pins that have my pronouns written on them. I have a they, a he, and a she pronoun pin. I change them as my gender changes.
@A M. Its not pseudoscience theres plenty of research that has gone into scientifically identifying the existence of gender fluid people (of course there could always be more research done, but people prevent this from happening with gender fluid erasure practices). Of course you cannot "guess" someones gender everyday, but if you misgender someone on accident and they ask you to refer to them with different pronouns, then it is only respectful to do so. Also, its not "respectfully disagreeing" when you don't agree with the entire existence of a sub set of the human species, its called convenient ignorance. Respectfully disagreeing only applies to opinions that have little to no moral consequences, like what is the best color or what the best food is. It's understandable that you may feel uncomfortable and confused when it comes to the existence of gender fluid people, but it is important to remember that every human deserves respect that transcends their social identity.
A M. Well, I’m normally really uncomfortable in my female body on male/nonbinary days. Sometimes I weirdly feel like I don’t know how to walk when I’m nonbinary. Generally, people don’t notice that there’s a more feminine or masculine way to walk but when I’m nonbinary, I just don’t know how to walk. When I’m female, I’m normally fine with my thigh/chest size and weight and curves, but when I’m different gender I’m aware of EVERYTHING that makes me feminine and it’s horrible. It feels like I’m trapped in the female body of someone else. I’m female at birth and on days that I’m male or nonbinary, hearing she/her/hers pronouns used for me feels like I’m being forced to listen to nails on a chalkboard. The same goes for days that I’m female and have male/nonbinary pronouns used for me. If you have any more questions or need more clarification, feel free to ask.
A M. I feel heavy body dysphoria any day that I am not female. Sometimes I feel dysphoria with some of my female characteristics but not other. And I know there is no “male” or female” way to walk, but I couldn’t find any other way to explain that. Honestly I’m not asking you to understand or respect the gender identity itself, just please respect the pronouns. That’s all I can ask you to do. I’m not asking you to change your view on gender. Just use the pronouns I feel comfortable with on certain days.
Im so proud of them
I was assigned O negative at birth but now identify as B positive because it sounds so much better. Blood is fluid, right?
Im just discovering that im on this spectrum and this made me feel so welcome and acknowledged
In old days people would question your ideas, maybe joke about it.... it would take a few days or weeks but you would be back to normal. But in these days there are idiots who will support such insanity.
