Hi! I need some help. I’m trying to figure out if I’m gender non-conforming or androgyneflux. I can’t find anything online that tells me what the differences between the two are, and was hoping that you could help me.
I’m afab. Since as far back as I can remember, I’ve hated the color pink. I could settle for dark purple, but stayed away from “girly” colors. I also hate skirts and dresses- refused to wear them when I was a kid unless under heavy duress. I didn’t even start wearing makeup until senior year of high school and even then it was the bare minimum. I still don’t like wearing skirts or dresses, and most days will wear pants and a t-shirt.
I just need to know the differences between the two, cause my autistic ass is confused af.
Grammar carries a lot of parallelism (that's how linguistics characterises this phenomenon).
GNC (gender non-conforming) was generally used in academia to talk about non-binary and genderqueer people among transgender individuals.
Androgyneflux is a specific identity and uses androgyne as prefix, as androgyne is a gender identity that alludes androgyny but isn't necessarily tied to the gender expression (presentation). However, regardless of its afixes, androgyneflux defined as "a state where you have fluctuating feelings of masculinity and femininity, but your gender identity stays the same". Then you notice that's not necessarily a gender identity. But it talks about gender and feelings related to the concept.
Interpersonally speaking, I'd say you're allowed to use androgyneflux, but you can also take a look in auragenders, celestial system gender terms, and other descriptors. Colorgenders/Colourgenders are also a good way to talk about your gender using colors. Also take note that not all GNC people will feel androgyneflux, many of them could have different perspectives, as one could feel more static or situated towards a spectrum corner than fluxing or versatile (versandrogyne) between both things.
