September 4th, 2025
Been a hell of a week. Since Monday was a holiday I wound up napping most of the day until late at night and fell behind on making the storyboard for B23 and doing the roughs for Kat which has wound up making me work a good 3ish hours after work every night amidst some very shitty sleep. Sending this out and then I’ll be taking a nap for a few hours before hopping onto working on Kat for this week which currently needs all the backgrounds colored, word balloons done, and SFX worked on.
Anyway laters!
Girl that is *not* a real quick kind of question
Also not really a question other people can answer for you.
now that i have seen it, you are correct, that is not a real quick kind of question
“no shes genderfluid!! shes genderfluid!!!!!”, i continue to insist as i slowly shrink and transform into a corn cob
I again ask, is genderfluid not a form of trans?
i have asked someone else whose genderfluid and she said it is
Like many things within the LGBTQ+ umbrella, it’s hard to say for certain if it is or isn’t. Some might say yes, others might say no.
Personally, I like to categorize things as cleanly as possible. And as a Trans person, I say no: Genderfluid is not a form of trans. In this case, Trans is a journey meant to go one way and stay that way. There are degrees of that, but the ultimate goal is that you’re going to do something you won’t (be able to) undo. Whether that’s as simple as dressing in the “traditional” clothing of your preferred gender, or taking hormones, or even going so far as having surgery. The idea is that you’re not going to present as your old gender anymore if you can help it, but how far you go down that rabbit hole is up to the individual.
Whereas with Genderfluid, the idea is that you’d be whatever gender you feel like at the time. If you were identified a male at birth and feel like wearing a dress one day, but don’t always want to wear a dress because some days you feel like presenting male versus presenting female, that’s genderfluid.
The main difference between the two, at least in the way I view it: Genderfluid is just that: Fluid. You slide back and forth as your mood takes you. Whereas Transgender is a one way trip with only a little bit of “backflow” (a transfemme might wear “masculine” clothes sometimes, but she’s not going to undo the hormone changes or any possible surgeries).
Hope this helps.
I think it’s important not to assume either way.
I am trans, genderfluid and currently on HRT. However, I know plenty of genderfluid people who don’t consider themselves trans in the slightest. It’s a very personal journey, and while various terms under various queer umbrella can help us articulate these ideas, it’s important to remember these terms are also flexible and constantly evolving as we gain greater insights about how the world works and ourselves (Not at all too dissimilar to the very act of transitioning in fact!). Much like how the existence of transgender individuals implies gender beyond a simple binary, Genderfluidity can exist across it’s own spectrum as well.
I struggled really hard accepting this part of myself for the longest time. I felt like I wasn’t *allowed* to be trans because I still identified with aspects of my assigned gender, despite having very intense desires of wanting to be able to transition. It wasn’t until I stopped waiting for someone else to give me permission to be trans that I was finally able to admit to myself that I am trans.
Categorising genderfluid as “oh I wanna dress this way one day or this way another” feels kinda highly reductive. It’s also kinda ignoring the fact that you get fluid people who aren’t fluidly their AGAB (such as people who are fluidly some variety of enby). Plus as It’s Just Jake above says it’s some people don’t consider, some do.
While you’re free to view things the way you view it, please don’t talk for a group of people if you’re not a part of that group. It’s hardly in the spirit of being queer and accepting each other for who they are.
Was it me?
Cuz now I’m changing my mind after hearing Miss Solana.
as in was it you i asked?
No no it was not, i asked a discord friend who is also genderfluid
Given how cis people basically never ask that question, I think the answer is fairly obvious, even if the exact form it’ll take is not.
i still belive kevin is a drag queen, doris is not a female version of kevin, kevin is only playing the role of a woman not living as one, in other words he is only cosplaying a woman, not living his life as a woman, he is only playing the role of doris. but must likely i am wrong
Your reasoning is flawed, in order to be playing a role, she would need to be doing it intentionally, but it is explicitly stated three times now that Doris didn’t put on any form of act to be a girl, she was just the same old kevin, but with boobs
Maybe keep those worms in the can ’til tonight, Doris.
Ummmm, nobody can tell you that.
I had to decide on my own that no, I’m genderfluid instead.
Anyway, it would just be her opinion.
Just send her to /r/egg_irl, that’ll sort her out right quick.
