Quick Summary

Gender fluidity describes individuals whose gender identity is not fixed and can change over time. This means their internal sense of being male, female, both, or neither can shift from day to day or over longer periods. Gender-fluid people may express themselves in ways that blend both masculine and feminine traits, or they might present as one gender on one day and another on a different day. This concept challenges the traditional binary understanding of gender, recognizing that gender can be a spectrum rather than a fixed state.123
