Reply To: Do you have a preferred “label”?

[Robin]

I chose “gender fluid.” My internal identity flows back and forth across the gender midline from day to day and sometimes throughout a day, pretty much unrelated to what I’m wearing. I feel like that motion itself is an identity. The term “non binary” feels a little static and less dynamic than “gender fluid.” Maybe I like the non-static label “gender fluid” better because it seems to leave the door ajar for future-me to maybe feel primarily female. I just think it’s all about feelings. When I took one of those online gender identity tests, they labeled me as “demigirl” and that resonates with me a lot right now. But maybe that’s too individual to be a label. My final answer, as I sit here in my yellow & roses spaghetti-strap nightie with a blue boy-shirt draped loosely over it, is that I feel like I’m a gender fluid demigirl 🙂
