[PT: fluid* | flux* | fluix*. End PT]

There are some terms for being fluid or flux in multiple ways, but they're all specific to certain identities, so I decided to make some labels that are more vague.

The asterisk in this case is used like the one in math and indicates multiplication.

Fluid*

When some is fluid in more ways than one. Someone who is fluid* may be any combination of genderfluid, abro, pronounfluid, nomifluid, presentationfluid, etc.

Can also be spelt like fluid*2 with the number changing with however many fluid labels are used.

Flux*

When someone is flux in more ways than one. Someone who is flux* may be any combination of genderflux, abro, pronounflux, nomiflux, presentationflux, etc.

Can also be spelt like flux*2 with the number changing with however many flux labels are used.

Fluix*

When someone is flux and fluid, or fluix/fluidflux in more than one way. They may also be both fluid* and flux*. Someone who is fluix* may be any combination of genderfluix, genderfluid, genderflux, abro, pronounfluix, pronounfluid, pronounflux, nomifluix, nomifluid, nomiflux, presentationfluix, presentationfluid, presentationflux, etc.

Can also be spelt like fluix*2 with the number changing with however many flux&fluid/fluix labels are used.

No flags yet but I will make some eventually (probably).

Etymology

[PT: Etymology ./. End PT]

From Esperanto, "Fluktuas", meaning "to fluctuate"; the "s" was changed to a "z". Originally coined by myself (Gent, GJ) in 2020 on my previous blog, Gender-Resource.

Elaboration

[PT: Elaboration ./. End PT]

Fluktuaz is a broad label that describes those who have a dynamic relationship with gender expression/alignment/sense of attachment to the label(s) in which ey identify, but always remain the same gender or genders.

Fluktuaz describes:

A static gender (or lack thereof) and/or a gender with a highly reliable, predictable paradigm.

A presentation, expression, alignment and/or sense of attachment that is that changes over time.

...the aforementioned fluidity may flow through one, a few, some, many or all personally-available experiences of gender, explicitly including abinary qualities/alignments/attachments

An unfixed experience in which one expresses/is aligned with/feels connected to gender(s) ey do not identify as.

An experience that is very diverse, often varying greatly between individuals.

Fluktuaz is different than Iactogender in that Fluktuaz specifies the ability to flow through all expressions/alignments/attachments available to the identifier, while Iactogender is limited to conceptions of masculinity, femininity and androgyny.

Pride Flag

[PT: Pride Flag ./. End PT]

The original flag was created by myself (Gent, GJ) at the same time as the term in back 2020 on Gender-Resource. Being entirely inexperienced in vexillography, this flag was poorly-rendered and the colors were not appropriately adjusted, making it very unappealing.

Now, revisting it with slightly more experience, I redesigned the Fluktuaz pride flag. The flag's stripes have the following meanings:

The yellow stripe represents abinary genders & xenogenders.

The burnt orange stripe represents autonomous genders.

The olive green stripe represents neuter, null and neutral genders.

The white portion of the tricolor represents all genders that are accessible within one's experience.

The grey portion of the tricolor represents fluidity, fluctuation and change.

The black portion of the tricolor represents genderlessness.

The desaturated blue stripe represents masculine genders.

The indigo stripe represents midbinary genders.

The fuchsia stripe represents feminine genders.

Genderhyd symbol

Requested by anon, and made by combining this Genderfluid symbol (minus the male and female extensions) and this symbol for the Plutonian moon Hydra (since the "-hyd" references the mythical Hydra) which were both made by by wikimedia user Kwamikagami under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 4.0 International license.

Direct links to the exact symbol files and a download link to the .SVG file in the post source link, since Tumblr hates external links in posts.

I don't claim to have coined Genderhyd and I don't claim to have made either original symbol, I just edited them together for this rq. Free for anyone to use anywhere as always!
