"Yo babe new pride flag just dropped"

Allow me to introduce...

...the expressionfluid flag!

Expressionfluid:

Definition 1: a term used to describe those whose gender expression and/or presentation changes periodically. This could be every day, every week, or even every hour.

Definition 2: The gender expression equivalent of genderfluid.

P.S. I created this word myself, but anyone is free to use this label for themselves if they feel like it works for them.

Magenta (far left) - represents femininity

Light pink (in-between far left and middle) - represents feminine-leaning androgyny

Purple (middle) - represents androgyny

Light blue (in-between far right and middle) - represents masculine-leaning androgyny

Indigo/darker blue (far right) - represents masculinity

Wavy white line - represents fluidity

Hey, so, I think that my gender is fluid, but like my gender only changes after my presentation changes. Is that still gender fluid?

yes. it's being genderfluid and presentationfluid/expressionfluid. it also reminds me of transexpressive (would that mean you're cisexpressive?!). there probably are a specific term for that, but I can't remember right now.

Thanks for your response! Its been half a year, because i realized i was asking a different question than i meant to, and i needed to figure out what i wanted to ask, but also i havent been able to focus on gender too much because of The Horrors. So! Over the past 5 months ive realized im probably presentationfluid. Like genderfluid but my gender doesnt change, what changes is the way i feel inclined to express that gender. So its different from drag in that im not creating a caricature or persona, it is actually me expressing my actual gender in various ways, but its different from genderfluidity too

Heres some examples of August Skyz putting masculine and feminine body language in juxtaposition, and Sub-Radio with an example of masc but gay body language. Obviously gender is way bigger than just two people, and its not only these two i want to take inspiration from, theyre just examples that came to mind

I guess what i want is closer to passing guides for a variety of gender expressions, except i wont use them to try to pass, im just gonna take whatever elements i want from them and remix them into something that makes me happy as a presentationfluid abinary person. Im not agender, i dont want to present as agender, but thats basically what ends up happening because i dont know how to do anything else

Im autistic and abinary and i think drag looks fun and interesting but its really hard for me to break down exactly what theyre doing regarding body language as caricatures of traditional gender roles, can someone help? Im assuming some drag artists have already made guides about this, if anyone knows where to find them would you send them to me?

My experience with being a Neogirl / Nymgirl (I’m technically the latter but I prefer the former term) who’s sex is a perisex female (I don’t know how to replace AGABs forgive me lol) is not really resonating with either the cisgender or transgender labels. Like.. I’m not cis, but I’m still a woman, so I don’t feel that trans either?

Tho I still like calling myself enby and even trans if I get over my imposter syndrome over it lol. And I like the term “Cisn’t”

Idk lol

Now I’m liking both terms this stuff changes a lot lol I’m like unintentionally expressionfluid :P

thank you for sharing!

Is there a term for something like genderfluid, but it's presentation instead of gender? Like how someone can shift between presenting masculine, feminine, and androgynous, but their gender is static. Or not. It can be inclusive to all genders.

i found two terms! expressionfluid and presentationfluid

you could also use genderfluid to mean expression/presentationfluid though these are just more exact terms that can be more helpful : >

i love discovering new labels and being like THATS IT when i find one that fits me hehe i just found Omniafluid, which is a conbination of genderfluid, pronounfluid, expressionfluid, and namefluid :0 I don't know if that's 100% me but it's something I will keep in mind

Since its no longer on the lgbt wikia I'll post it here. Its under the genderfluid umbrella. And this is our flag!
