    I am genderfluid and the reason I identify as that is because I feel like my gender moves around a lot and is, well, fluid! I know that gender as a concept can be fluid, but there are days that I feel as though I want to present to the world as male, days I want to present as female, and days I want to present as something in between. I am not comfortable being in the middle ground (or any particular spot, really) all the time, and I feel as though the fluidity of my gender goes beyond the normal feeling-a-bit-more-masculine-today or getting-in-touch-with-my-feminine-side that other identities face.

    Genderqueer, on the other hand, is a little bit more solid in its expression. Although its not necessarily neutral or bang in the middle, it is a lot steadier and more constant, without being either male or female :slight_smile:

    That's what I have been lead to believe, anyway :slight_smile:

    Yup... genderqueer is that, or so I'm also under the impression... and I am pretty sure I'm genderqueer... it's been a hard struggle trying to identify with anything, but I feel good saying that.

    I am sorry for not really adding anything to the discussion... solidarity, I suppose? I don't know, I've only found myself recently... and it feels nice to say things outloud sometimes... granted, this is in type, but you know what I mean. :slight_smile:

    Genderqueer is often used as an umbrella term to refer to any nonbinary identity, including genderfluid. Some people choose a more specific term to describe themselves within the genderqueer umbrella, while some people feel most comfortable simply identifying as genderqueer.

    Lol, I am genderqueer because I identify as cis-female for the most part because I like acting like a female and dressing like one but occasionally feel like just a living, thinking being who enjoys learning who doesn't really feel much like anything when it comes to the concept of gender
