    Lost in a sea of labels, they/she swam serenely, oblivious of the clouds above.

    What? *clears throat*

    So, I've been doing a bit more think-doing about my gender stuff. I'm
    -Predominantly or at least very much girly, it seems
    -DMAB
    -Fluid/flux somehow
    -Neutral quite a lot of the time
    -Masculine quite rarely, but it happens
    -Prefer neutral pronouns but female ones are ok, too
    -Much rather say e.g. that I'm 'fangirling' over something than 'fanboying' etc.

    So... I don't know. I know no labels won't change how I feel, but the uncertainty is kind of annoying... So I've been thinking of

    Demigirl - partially identifies as a girl... Well, kind of yes, but kind of no, it seems to put a lot of emphasis on the 'girl' part, a bit too much
    Femmefluid Fluid but mostly/only fluid with feminine genders. Not that far off, I think... I mean, I'm fairly girly/femme, and fluid, so... I don't like the name though...
    Demiflux - Partly static gender (demigirl) and partly fluid (neutral and masculine) - Would that mean like a demigirl but fluctuating in intensity and feelings etc.?

    I might even coin my own, I don't know...
    Femmeflux - Largely girly/femme but sometimes neutral and something else (masculine), and varying in intensity.

    I don't know ^^ Just feels better to put your thoughts down somewhere... And I don't understand the terms perfectly well.

    If you've read, any input is appreciated. :kiss: have a nice day/evening/morning

    You can choose whatever label you feel is best.

    Most of the suggestions you have put forward do seem to be variants of genderfluid, IMO

    How about female two spirit. Two spirit are supposed to be neither men or women but a third gender which connects with the neutrality of your gender. By adding on female it strengthens the connection to your feminine side. :slight_smile:

    Why do you care so much about the words themselves? It's the meanings that matter. Saying you don't like "demigirl" because you are not 100% "girl" is the same as saying that you don't like "demigirl" because you are not half a person. Just because a compound word contains two things, it doesn't mean that one of those things is you. It's both things together that count. (If that makes sense.) IMO, you should just say genderfluid then explain in detail how you feel. (Or genderqueer etc.) Just explain how you feel. If you invent a term that's going to happen afterwards anyway.

    The correct answer is:

    I'm personally a huge fan of the "spaghetti" label you have there.
