Quiz: Am I Genderfluid?
In the modern world, where increasing attention is paid to issues of gender identity and self-expression, it is important to have tools for better understanding oneself. This is precisely why we created the “Am I Genderfluid?” quiz. This quiz is designed to help you sort out your gender feelings and understand whether you belong to the category of genderfluid people. So, let’s dive deeper into the topic.
What Is Genderfluidity?
Genderfluidity is a form of gender identity in which a person does not strictly associate themselves with one gender, but their gender feelings smoothly shift over time between male, female and non-binary identities. It is important to understand that genderfluidity is not related to sexual orientation, but refers exclusively to the internal sense of one’s own gender.
Genderfluid people may feel like a man, a woman, or non-binary over the course of a single day, week or month. Their gender expression – clothing, hairstyle, mannerisms – can also change in accordance with their current gender identity. At the same time, the transitions between gender states occur smoothly and naturally.
The causes of genderfluidity are not fully understood, but according to scientists, they may lie in both biological and social factors. For example, certain hormonal levels, brain structure or upbringing in an environment that accepts gender diversity.
Genderfluidity in Different Cultures and Eras
Although the term “genderfluidity” is relatively new, the very concept of a fluid, changing gender identity has existed in human cultures throughout history. Many traditional societies recognized and revered people who combined male and female qualities.
For example, in Native American tribes there were “two-spirit people” – individuals who took on the roles and wore the clothing of both genders. They were considered to be endowed with special spiritual abilities. In the Hindu tradition, hijras – people of a third gender – were respected as beings blessed by God.
In ancient Greek mythology, gods often changed their gender, like Tiresias, who was alternately a man and a woman. And priests of the goddess Cybele in ancient Rome underwent a rite of castration and took on a female gender role.
Thus, a fluid, changing gender identity was the norm for many pre-industrial cultures. The modern division into only male and female is the result of the influence of the Judeo-Christian tradition and strict gender roles in the industrial era.
Signs of Genderfluidity
But how do you know if you are a genderfluid person? There are a number of signs that can help identify genderfluidity:
- You experience changing sensations of your gender identity, at times identifying as a man, woman or non-binary person.
- Your gender expression – clothing, hairstyle, mannerisms, interests – changes cyclically, reflecting your current gender self-perception.
- You prefer gender-neutral pronouns “it/its” instead of “he/she”.
- You feel an inner discord, dissonance between your biological sex and gender identity during certain periods.
- You feel comfortable combining traditionally “male” and “female” patterns of behavior, appearance and roles.
If most of these points describe you, you may well be a genderfluid person. But for a definitive answer, it’s best to take the quiz, looking deeply into your feelings.
Differences From Non-binary and Agender Identity
It is important to understand the difference between genderfluidity, non-binary identity and agender identity in order to more accurately define your identity:
Non-binary people consistently identify themselves outside the binary male/female gender, but do not change this identity over time.
Agender people completely deny having any gender identity at all, not associating themselves with male, female or other genders.
Unlike them, genderfluid people cyclically flow between different gender identities, including male, female, non-binary and other options. Their gender self-perception is constantly changing.
