gender fluid
Not fixed orientation
Gender fluid describes a gender identity that shifts over time rather than remaining fixed.
Someone who is gender fluid may feel more masculine some days, more feminine others, or move between or beyond these categories.
The term emerged from LGBTQ+ communities in the early 21st century: My partner is gender fluid and uses different pronouns depending on how they're feeling.
