About this episode

How would you describe your gender? Do you feel like your gender identity has remained the same throughout your whole life? Or do you see your gender as more of a spectrum or sliding scale that changes over time.

For some people gender is not stagnant but fluid, often changing throughout time. Some people can feel super femme some days and more masc the next.

As the world starts to realise that the idea that ‘gender is binary’ is pretty outdated. We are starting to see more people (particularly young peeps) identify as gender identities such as gender fluid.

In fact in 2016 the word was added to the Oxford Dictionary.

In this podcast we explored what the term GENDER FLUID means, how it is different from other gender related terms like trans and cis. And how understanding gender fluidity, it might help you understand your own gender or how you can be the best ally to your gender fluid pals!

The post Gender Fluidity! appeared first on Unicorn Youth.
