        Wouldn’t genderflux be more of an attribute on top of genderfluid? Since if your gender identity shifts over time it is under the genderfluid umbrella, and if the intensity of the fluidity changes over time you are still fluid no?

          For the purposes of making this chart? Sure, that works.

          I tend to be of the persuasion that labels and identities are descriptive rather than proscriptive - you are who you are and you use the labels available to you however you need to in order to communicate.

          So if someone said they were genderflux but not genderfluid, I don’t know what that would mean but that doesn’t mean they’re wrong to say it. Perhaps there are people for whom that description makes sense, I won’t know until I meet one.
