My advice I would give is keep a genderfluid journal and document your gender shifts and changes throughout the week or day depending on how often you think you shift for me it's between 1-3 times a day. Who knows? You might start to see patterns! It's just a really neat idea I'm going to do now. And if you're still gender questioning this will be a sure fire way to know if you're genderfluid or not.

My constant question for myself is "Am I genderfluid, or just nonbinary w/adhd?" I think being neurodivergent is a part of my gender in a way that I can't really separate the two. I'm curious if anyone else can relate to that. ♥️

I definitely can relate lmao - just the other day I was trying some things on with the goal to look more masc and then was suddenly like ‘ooh what if it had a skirt tho’ and 10 minutes later I was in a dress and feeling very fem - I like to think of it as my adhd sometimes switches my gender and sometimes distracts me so I don’t notice the switch lol

This is very interesting. When I was younger, I highly detested "girly" clothes and tended to wear a lot of men's clothes, and now that I'm a bit older I've noticed myself wanting to wear more feminine things, or at least less masculine ones. I was born female and I'm comfortable with that, so it's interesting to see how that "gender confusion" happens with cis people too. I really have to give credit for my neighbor because of this. My mom was concerned that I was wearing dudes' clothes all the time, so she went to talk to my neighbor about it and thank goodness she said "let her wear what she wants and see what happens." I ended up growing out of it, and I'm thankful that it was able to happen on my terms instead of being forced to wear stuff I wasn't comfortable with. I've also realized that my motivations behind dressing like that weren't actually about gender. It had a lot to do with ADD (basically ADHD without the hyperactivity), and my sensitivity towards uncomfortable clothes. It's incredibly distracting to have a scratchy seam on your shirt, or have pants that are too tight. For this reason, I used to and still to some extent wear very casual clothes. Boys clothes were way more comfortable, so for that reason I preferred to wear them. More recently, I've been able to find very comfortable women's clothes that I like a lot.

That seems a pretty adequate description of gender fluid traits for some of us. Sometimes you feel fluid, other times you feel cis/not fluid. You might even feel one of those ways for years at a time before it changes again. There are times I'm that way too (though more in the weeks or occasional months timeline). Gender fluidity isn't a set identity with specific features on a checklist you have to meet; it's literally different for everyone (which is why the "How to tell you might be *this gender identity*" type videos can be confusing sometimes!)

Okay a few other things are clicking for me now. First off I’m bisexual too and since discovering that the feelings of wanting to be more Fem sometimes have been stronger and more frequent. Sometimes I wish to be more fem presenting and considered being a bi girl or even lesbian. The shapeshifter comment actually really speaks to me because I always want to be able to shapeshift between masc and fem when I need to. Hearing from a gender-fluid person is actually really helpful too.

I tend to lean more toward masculine clothing.

Thank you for this video! You're point about people figuring out their orientation before their gender identity really hits home for me. I've known I'm Ace for years. But I'm not sure if I'm Cis or Non-Binary and sitting right in between "she" and "they". Sometimes "she" is more comfortable, and sometimes less. Maybe lots of Cis people experience this. Maybe not. But thank you for this video that's helping folks like me figure things out!
@jadelinny2 жыл бұрын
Even if you're nonbinary, "she" can still feel more comfortable a large amount of the time. I'm genderfluid, and "she" feels right close to half the time, and it also feels close enough for about another 30% of the time. I still need to figure out that I want to do for that last 20%. :) But even if I end up using more than one set of pronouns, my default will probably mostly be "she".

Edit: ok, so I think I get it, it’s a journey, and as you learn about yourself you slowly find the words and feelings to describe yourself. I might not be gender fluid myself but I can figure it out as I go and experiment to learn and build on both my understanding and individuality, and use whatever terms I feel the most comfortable with:)

Yes, if the label resonates with you. I'm genderfluid, but rest on the "girl" side of my gender the largest part of the time. Sometimes I feel more nonbinary, and every month or two I will have a period of feeling more on the "guy" side. It is pretty irregular for me.
