Genderfluidity: Myths and Facts

❌ MYTH: Genderfluid people don't experience gender as strongly as others, and change genders whenever they feel like it.

✅ FACT: Genderfluid peoples' Solid Forme can easily deflect projectile attacks, and can decimate melee attackers with their powerful Crystal Beam.

❌ MYTH: Genderfluid people have a favorite gender, and return to it when they're tired of their other genders.

✅ FACT: While Genderfluid peoples' Liquid Forme has high evasion and access to the deadly Water Cutter move, they are susceptible to heat and electricity based attacks.

❌ MYTH: Homosexual and heterosexual people can't be attracted to genderfluid people.

✅ FACT: A genderfluid person in Mist Forme may have low attack power, but they can squeeze through thin surfaces such as grates and doors, and are immune to most forms of damage.

❌ MYTH: Nobody stays genderfluid, and they will grow out of it over time. It's just a phase.

✅ FACT: Only 0.1% of genderfluid people, with proper training, can achieve the final and extremely powerful Plasma Forme. Wielders of Plasma Forme are some of the most powerful caster-types in all the celestial planes, and can incinerate nearby enemies with their Radiant Aura passive move, or their devastating Supernova: Cone of Light.

idk, I feel like almost every single discussion, theory, words of support, or even mention of transness is just for monogender people. people claim to support those who don't meet rigid binary standards but the only trans people that seem to actually matter are the binary trans man and the binary trans woman. with the genderless nonbinary person mentioned sometimes when it's relevant. the binary is what people base their worldview on, their discussions of systemic oppression. there's no room for us multigender people anywhere because we either contradict their ideas or we're just not included because it's inconvenient to fit us anywhere in their theory. men and women are not opposites. there is not just man, woman, and neither (people who you categorize as basically man or woman depending on their association with gendered oppression). some of us are both and you need to consider us when discussing these sorts of things

btw you're allowed to go off on people who misgender trans women who are also men and say that trans women can't identify that way. you're allowed to go off on anyone who polices transfeminine identities. the amount of people who discredit trans women who are also men, transneutral, transmasculine, agender, multigender, genderfluid, polygender, gender variant, gnc or any other experience other than "binary trans woman" is staggering.

people will literally freak the fuck out at you for saying trans women can literally also be men and that doesn't invalidate their womanhood. people will freak the hell out at you and tell you that transfeminine butches don't belong in the community, and especially not transfems who are intersex, bigender, multigender, genderfluid, genderqueer or "too masculine" or transfems who "look/sound like men". they freak out at you, you're allowed to fight back.

people will freak the fuck out and misgender trans women who use it/its and assert that's now how a trans woman would want to identify. people will freak the fuck out and tell masculine transfems that they HAVE to be more feminine or else they're a threat to the community and they're not a real transfemme. people will tell pre- and never transition trans girls that they're a problem or that they will never be a part of the community until they go through medical and social transition

people love to push transfeminine people into the most narrow, restrictive boxes possible so they can mentally put us away on a shelf and forget about us. the smaller they make us, the easier it is to forget about us. people will literally lose their minds if someone starts talking about transfemininity for a few posts or minutes at a time, especially when it's non binary transfemininity.

transfemmes who step outside of the binary are a huge "threat" to no one except people who make it a problem in their own minds. a pre or never transition transfem is not invading a space they belong in. trans women cannot invade their own spaces. transfeminine people are allowed to have complicated genders. trans women are allowed to identify as men without it invalidating their identities. trans women are allowed to have vast and complicated gender experiences

trans women do not have to restrict ourselves into the most easy to digest identities possible for the sake of sucking up to queers who hate us. trans women are allowed to be loud, hairy, muscular, tall, big, broad chested, narrow hipped, fat, "ugly", and masculine. trans women are allowed to break the binary and shake up what your idea of femininity and womanhood look like.

genderfuckery does not belong to any AGAB or identity. genderfuckery is not off limits to AMAB, intersex, and transfeminine people. trans women are allowed to play with gender. trans women are allowed to not abandon their manhood if it's still a part of their life. trans women are allowed to exist outside of a binary created by everyone else but us. we are allowed to defy your expectations of what a woman and/or femme "should" be, and it doesn't invalidate or woman/femmehood.

you're allowed to go the fuck off on people who say these things invalidate our woman/femmehood. we don't have to take it anymore. it IS transphobia when this happens. it IS transmisogyny when people tell us these things. we are allowed to fight back. we are allowed to not take this lying down anymore. trans women are allowed to stand up for ourselves, and you are, too.

"cis men can't be lesbians" the concept of bi/multigender, genderfluid, genderqueer, intersex and gnc trans women freaks you out that badly, huh.

[multigenderswag]

your post makes no sense? all of the identities that you named are NOT cis men??? and quite frankly it feels transphobic for you to consider them that

i'm a trans woman so i'm part of the group i'm commenting on. you do realize that a bigender trans woman who identifies as a trans woman and a cis man is still partially a cis man and that's not transphobic and it doesn't invalidate their trans womanhood, right? you do realize that a transfemme cis man is still a cis man and that doesn't invalidate their femmehood, right? you do realize a transfemme genderfluid person who identifies as a cis man is still partially a cis man and it doesn't invalidate their other genders, right? being bigender doesn't completely erase 1/2 of the identity. being a woman doesn't cancel out being a man. are you seriously saying that because that person has a queer identity means that it totally erases the fact that they are literally also identifying in plain english that they are also a cis man?

immersing yourself in the transfeminine community will help with this drastically. i don't know you or your history, but most of my IRL friends are transfeminine, myself included. there are many of my transfem friends who never want to be considered a man, and that's perfectly fine. however, i would say a good 1/3rd of the trans women i've met have also still identified as a cis gay man on some level. without shame, without it taking away their womanhood. existing alongside each other; parallel. if you meet and befriend a good number of transfeminine people you will find out that a lot of transfems identify as cis men and trans women at the same time. that's not new. many trans women identify as cis gay men and trans women at the same time. like, it's an extremely common thing. bigender means having two genders- one is trans woman, the other is cis man for people who identify this way. this person is a trans woman, a cis man, and a bigender person.

this doesn't make that person a bigender person, and a trans woman only. why do you think it's okay to completely erase that person's male identity? why do you think it's okay to completely ignore someone's manhood for the sake of their other identity? cis manhood isn't "icky". it doesn't get cancelled out by queerness. them partially being a cis man does not invalidate their trans womanhood. wake the fuck up, you're being transmisogynstic as hell right now and it's embarrassing.

a question you must ask yourself: why are you insinuating that it is transphobic to refer to someone correctly? my post specifically referred to trans women who also identify as cis men in their own words. why, in your mind, is this a bad thing? you MUST ask yourself why it's "transphobic" to acknowledge these identities and refer to these individuals correctly. you must ask yourself why you're putting your comfort before someone else's representation. there are transfemme cis men. there are transfeminine genderfluid people who identify as cis men when they are men. there are non binary cis men. why do you think that cis men cannot be queer, or trans? why are you assuming that a trans woman being a cis man at the same time is transphobic? why

this reeks of "woman cannot be man at the same time or else woman get cancelled out"

what is confusing about trans women having multiple genders? what's wrong with a bigender, multigender, genderfluid, genderqueer, genderfuck, gender non conforming, and/or intersex trans woman having a male identity that's also cis? what's wrong with that? how does that erase or "conflict" with the rest of their identity in any capacity?

there are bigender trans men who are cis women and trans men at the same time. there are bigender trans women who are cis men and trans women at the time. literally how does that not make sense. please explain to me how it doesn't make sense. every single person who has told me i'm not making sense hasn't told me why. please explain to me why you proudly and loudly saying that bi/multigender trans women don't exist is okay, but me fighting for people to understand that they do is transphobic.

stop virtue signalling and shoot the cop in your mind dead. in your attempt to look like a hero and earn brownie points all you did was show that you literally don't understand multigender, genderqueer, non binary, and other gender vast experiences. trans women won't magically like you more now because you decided to show everyone that you think it's transphobic to call someone who overtly in their own words identifies as a cis man, a cis man.

cis men aren't the devil. calm down and stop freaking the hell out over the fact that you can in fact be a cis man and a trans woman at the same time. the sun will still rise. the world will keep turning. it's not transphobic to refer to someone by the terms they ask you to use. get over yourself on this one, anon. that's your cross to bear: you are the transphobe. do yourself a favor and look into multigenderism before you decide to comment on trans theory again

you thought yourself into a corner and you can't find your way out.

"Are you a man or a woman?"

Am I flesh or bone? Do I peel the meat from my body or carve my skeleton out of myself? Which halves of myself do I keep, after the operation is done?

You come to me asking me this, asking me if I'm one or the other. Am I a man or a woman.

Fuck off.

[multigenderswag]

btw just like how bisexuals who classify all their attraction as gay and bisexuals who classify their attraction as gay and as straight respectively and bisexuals who classify all their attraction as bisexual and never gay OR straight are all equally valid, the same is true with multigender people. if a multigender person considers all their genders as trans, or some trans and some cis, or all neither trans or cis, you must respect that.

[multigenderswag]

Made a little halloween bigender flag because i couldn’t find any online

Putting it here if anyone wants it

[multigenderswag]

if you misgender trans women & femmes who also identify as men & mascs by ignoring their identities as women and/or femmes, no matter what your reasoning for doing so is, you're transphobic. you're participating in transmisogyny. trans women & femmes are also allowed to be bigender, multigender, gender non conforming, butch, masc, men, boys, androgynous, gender neutral, genderfluid, and other gender identities along side being women and/or femmes.

these other identities do not cancel out our womanhood or femininity- these identities are not "opposites" of one another. denying a trans woman/femme their identity because they are a person of color and don't align with your idea of what a woman/femme should look like, you are also racist as hell, which is a huge part of transmisogyny.

[multigenderswag]

can you give me or link me to a definition on the multigender label? and also maybe put it in your faq? is it basically bigender but more encompassing? very sorry if any of this comes off as disrespectful

Multigender is an umbrella term for identifying as multiple genders (often simultaneously, but sometimes switching between them). Bigender is a more specific identity under the multigender umbrella, for people who have two genders.* Other multigender identities include polygender (many genders), pangender (all genders), and genderfluid (changing genders). Some people prefer to not use any of those specific identities, and just use the broad label of multigender. There's a lot of variety in multigender identities, but overall, it refers to people who have more than one gender identity.

*bigender can also mean "two or more genders" rather than "exactly two genders," similar to how bisexuality is used

Will you be doing another multigender survey next year?

Honestly I’m not sure. I really really like doing the surveys but I’ve also been struggling a lot with my mental health (I know I’ve been saying this nonstop for like two years but it continues to be true) so I’m really not sure whether I’ll be in a place where I can handle running the survey. We’ll see, I guess

[multigenderswag]

Also an update on the June 2024 survey: I finished crunching all the numbers and everything! I still have to make all the graphs and type out all the posts, so no guarantees for when I will actually be posting results, but hopefully soon!

for the "how would you like your pronouns to be used" question, i wonder if splitting it up into two parts would cut down on confusion? so like "do you have a specific preference on how your pronouns are used y/n" and then if y, they're taken to the next part to clarify?

oh wait shit sorry i think you migjt be the wrong survey maker LMFAO

Yeah, I think you're thinking of @/cassolotl who does the gender census and is a different person from me. I'm genuinely super flattered that you mixed us up though

[multigenderswag]

honestly i am not liking the trend of using “fagdyke boygirl genderfreak” as almost derogatory descriptive terms for a queer person you think is annoying. like has everyone just forgotten that bigender people who actually identify with those terms exist, or are you just trying to think of the labels that you think signify edginess and queerphobia against others in the community? idk something about it doesn’t seem quite right
