Gender

[flexibeast]

So you've just said "gender is fluid". Do you mean:

1. Every person's sense of gender is fluid?


2. Every person's gender identity is fluid?


3. Every person's gender expression is fluid?


4. Some people's sense of gender is fluid?


5. Some people's gender identity is fluid?


6. Some people's gender expression is fluid?


7. Sociocultural ideas re. sense of gender are fluid?


8. Sociocultural ideas re. gender identity are fluid?


9. Sociocultural ideas re. gender expression are fluid?

To me, discussing the (possibly relative) truth / falsity of the statement "gender is fluid" requires that one specify which of the above statements one is intending to convey.

(i've previously written more generally about the concept of 'fluidity' in the context of gender and sexuality.)
