Gender Fluidity;
Fluid: “not settled or stable; likely or able to change.”
Gender: “the state of being male or female.”
To go by these terms, gender fluidity is an interchangeable state of being male or female. However, it must be noted that gender and sex are not the same thing. Sex is biological. It is determined by genetics and characterized by physical attributes, an X or Y chromosome, sex hormones, and reproductive organs and genitalia. Gender, however, is psychological. It is the mental state of being male or female without correlation to the individual’s sex. Now that we know this we can determine that the exact definition of Gender Fluidity is when a person’s mental state of being male or female is able to change.
