      It's just another manifestation of suffering. (Subconciously being attached to particular experiences) its just a deeper craving, the grass always looks greener on the other side. We can easily go our whole life's chasing that gold at the end of the rainbow. Trying to figure out what identity to have, it's just more attachment, trying to find something solid and unchanging. When we observe our mind/body seriously, eventually we experience deeper, subtler aspects of our minds. And we know through real experience that everything is constantly changing, nothing is permanent. But it's seeing it for yourself that allows the suffering to dissolve.

      ​@@TheProxy2they/them/theirs has been used as a singular pronoun for decades. I'm assuming you're being genuine so i'll explain a little.
      They/them/theirs is generally used when you don't know the gender of a person you're talking about but some people don't quite feel entirely like a man or a woman and choose to use they instead of he or she. It can be a confusing switch if you're not used to it but once you get the nag of it it's easy. It's like learning someone's name.
      Examples of ways people use they/them:
      Someone lost their wallet. I hope they find it.
      I really like their hair!

      Genderfluid person here. You're absolutely right. I know which gender I feel that I am, regardless of the amount of work I want to put into displaying it, and that goes all ways equally. I could feel masculine and walk out of the house looking like a homeless bumb just as easily as if I was feeling feminine. How you LOOK, does not change how you feel when you're genderfluid, and every person has the right to use makeup regardless of their gender or sex or anything like that if that's what makes them feel comfortable!

      @@Zachary- I’m glad you’re confident in how you present to others! That’s awesome and I’m happy for you. For many gender diverse people though, that’s not the case. They want to be seen as who they are, because that’s how they truly feel- and expression is often a big part of that. I, for example, do not enjoy wearing feminine clothing (as a girl) at least not currently. Not wearing feminine clothing is a big part of how I view myself and it makes me feel comfortable in my own skin. Many others are doing the same thing.

    I throughly do not understand genderfluid/non binary as a identity. Many people describe it as being fluid in there style of dress, such as dressing stairotypically feminine sometime, dressing stairotypically masculine other times, or even a mixture of the two. Other people or even the same people describe genderfluid/non binary as a feeling that is constantly changing throughout their life. As it regards to clothing why is it in 2024 that people feel like they are genderfluid, non binary, or a trans man if they dress more masculine as a biological woman or dress more feminine as a biological man? Why are people not allowed to wear what they want and not be persuaded into thinking they have to change how they identify? In regards to the changing feelings, why base your identity on feelings when feelings and emotions themselves are so fleeting. Why aren't people able to just be the sex they were born as and express themselves through style, attitude, knowledge, experience, etc. without being brought into thinking that they way the express themselves means they have to be genderfluid, non binary, or trans and not just a man or woman that expresses themselves in a certain way. This is in no way directed towards people who have been diagnosed gender dysphoria and have suffered with that their whole lives, and I hope the medical industry get better in that regard so people with gender dysphoria and all other disorders are able to live in this world without suffering as much as they do.

Allowing your mood, feelings, & perception to shape your presentation to the world is what everyone does. It might be a leap but Bruce Lee tells us how water in a cup becomes a cup and so on. If you wake up aggressive, annoyed, and all around not likable, then, do you want to present as gender male? If you wake up feeling like you are pretty, caring, and supportive, then, do you want to present as gender female? Mood is fluid. Feelings are fluid. Does how you respond to your feelings make you "fluid?" Everyone is fluid. Be like water. But take care not to become so formless that you lose your grasp on who you are, as for so many that lose something in change that a part of them is gone. Will changing so many times shave off a piece of yourself to where no one can recognize "you." All they will see is the shapeless and unrecognizable.

      Water in a babling brook is still water, waves and swells in the raging ocean are still water, water that is completely still and placid in a lake is still water. It doesn't transform into Soda or dilute into cordial. It can be calm or distructive and can behave or look so different from one day to another... but at its core it's still water.
      Similarly, I take on different "forms" that are often called different things by people, but I'm still me.
      Sometimes I'm an enraged woman, a sheepish dude, a caring brother, or a loving aunt/uncle. At the core of it though, I'm still just me.
      The form I take on might change, but I'm no less "me" regardless of which form I'm in at the time.

      ​@@zaykay5462I have one question. On the last part of your answer you said "i can be an enraged woman", " sheepish dude", "caring uncle", etc. My question is, what makes you feel either like a female or a male? Why don't you just feel like an "enraged person", "sheepish person", "caring person"? I struggle to understand what makes one feel the need to switch to another gender. If you're still you, why aren't you just you, but have to change between a "woman you" or "male you"? What are the characteristics of woman and man? I'm genuinely curious, but don't answer if not comfortable.

      @@saramonteiro4922 I can’t speak for anyone else, but for me it is like this:
      It’s not that I feel a need to switch to a a different gender, but rather that my gender changes of its own accord by some unseen internal mechanism. As for characteristics, my own experience is that my comfort with body parts, my internal voice, and my self-reference change with my gender.
      If we want to continue the water analogy, I would say it is like a river. Rivers are constantly changing, their banks reshaped by their own existence. But the river cannot choose to stay the same, and trying to force a river to stay the same shape comes with a host of problems.
      Much like a river, my gender changes over time, trying to stop it from changing causes problems, and having a beaver gets awkward sometimes.

      @@Null-value thank you for answering! I think I was interpreting the "not identifying as a gender" as not identifying with what society, and ourselves even, interpret and expect of each gender, and when our internal sensations don't relate to that, and relate more to another gender's , we feel that we are in the wrong gender. But your experience seems to be more related to an internal discomfort. Like trying to find what best matches your self Identity.
      I like the water analogies going on in here 🧘‍♀️

    you know, when I found out courtney also used they/them pronouns, but always looks the way they do, I had a feeling that we felt similarly about our genders and honestly...I was right and I love/hate that for us, because it IS a struggle, even if we can joke about it.
