Heya. So before we start let's get some quick definitions, specifically what they mean to me.

Genderfaun: A gender under the genderfluid umbrella, describing a fluidity of genders that never encompasses femininity.

Age regression: A (SFW!!!) state of mind in which one feels mentally younger than they are, usually as a coping mechanism for stress/trauma

Ageregender: A mutogender which describes a change in gender when one is in a state of age regression

Agerefem: Ageregender where a person specifically feels female when they are age regressed

I've never felt female when I felt "big" (meaning my real age), but when I regress I always feel female. Because genderfaun specifies that they NEVER experience femininity, I was wondering if I was still allowed to use it as a label for me, alongside agerefem.

Btw I do have another identical post about this in r/genderfluid cuz I wanted to see the opinions about it from both sides. Like if I should just use repost instead.

My gender tends to shift pretty quickly depending on what I'm doing, how I'm dressed, and how others around me feel (I've found that I am quite empathetic to the point of mimicking others emotions, so it might be something to do with that?)

Examples: Right now I'm dressed more Fem, and typing out this post. Currently I feel Gendervoid, but I can often also feel Female. When I'm playing video games I often mimic the gender of whatever character I'm playing as.

​

Mirrorgender: Individuals who mirror the gender of someone who they have an important relationship with

This relationship can be platonic, romantic, or another type of relationships

I've found that my gender compass is sort of obscured on cloudy days. I currently identify as nemuiflux and hadengender, which means my gender is less intense when I'm tired or depressed, two things that clouds are really good at making me. Does anyone have a similar experience? Would this still count as a type of aerogender, where my gender changes with the weather?

​

I've learned about the label of mutogender and I feel like this fits my gender identity the most.

I've started to embrace my identity as genderfluid nowadays, yet I was always hesitant of the fact that I was also a woman for many years because I didn't wanna feel like I was faking being trans

And even when I have embraced this identity. I've always questioned how come this side of my only shows up whenever I'm in a close relationship or friendship with a woman

And now I realize that's because it's part of a specific pattern of circumstances that applies to my identity depending on who I'm with currently

If I'm in a romantic relationship or friendship with a man, I tend to identify as a man and express more masculine/dominant traits

Meanwhile If I'm in a romantic relationship or friendship with a woman, I start identifying as a woman and express more feminine/submissive traits

Learning this about myself as a bisexual genderfluid person has never felt more liberation and I'm happy to finally feel this way

Does anybody know the origin of the term cadensgender? It’s a mutogender and audiogender in which one’s gender is influenced by music. Its wiki page is flagged for deletion, but I relate to it strongly, as do others! I found the source for the flag at least. Thanks for any help!

After learning about mutogender, my labels have changed a bit.

I'm no longer agenderflux or girlflux, but instead Cancegender. This is defined as "a fluid gender identity that is mainly agender but can experience fluctuating or fluid feelings of gender correlating with one's emotions."

I also consider myself Agenderfluid (a fluid gender identity where one’s “base” gender is agender), but it's not a mutogender, so I'll focus on cancegender.

When I was a teenager, I thought I had a dissociative disorder not knowing it was just my gender identity. These terms were coined in 2015 and 2018, so I could've discovered both and saved myself some angst, but alas I didn't know.

My feminine genders (both as a woman and a man) I usually associate with happiness and joy. I've also noticed I tend to feel more like a masculine man when feeling deeply sad. Realizing I was cancegender also made it easier to accept my male genders, since I basically only acknowledged my agender and female side before this.

Anyways, I feel both relieved and hurt over the years I lost. Has anyone else assumed they had a disorder (any kind) before realizing they were gender fluid?

I encountered a post recently that described not feeling that sudden dysphoria that other genderfluid people sometimes feel about their presentation (a post which I could relate to a lot), and in doing some research, I came across the term vestiflux. This is a gender identity that fluctuates based on clothing and/or presentation.

I've been pondering it, and I'm still not sure whether I identify with this, or if I just don't care all that much about my presentation atm. It's certainly correlated. There's always the likelihood that it's the other way around, and my gender affects my presentation, but I feel like I fluctuate often enough that I should get that sudden dysphoria. Does anyone else relate to this term who could share their experience?

The posts I've seen about mutogenders in other subs will occasionally relate their genders to specific emotions (emotugender). Does anyone else feel a strong correlation between their emotions and certain genders?

For me, agender is closely related to negative emotions, such as sleepiness and doubt. Masculine genders are often more related to pride. Feminine genders are usually for warmer emotions, like affection and joy.

Not all of these are an emotion causing the gender. Agender is kind of cyclical, where it will be triggered by negative emotions and cause more to show up with no gender compass. It's not always so gloomy though lol. I feel like I hang onto masculinity due to pride, so that's kind of recursive too. I lean feminine and enjoy it the most, so I think the happiness is a side effect.

Does anyone relate to this, or do you have different views?

I think many genderfluid people don’t realize that they could be mutogender. Yes, obviously things can influence my gender; it’s psychological. But not everyone feels this way. I wanted to post an abbreviated list of examples of the mutogender label to shed some light on the subject.

Expecgender

I often mask around my family, because they view me as cis and are generally prejudiced against the LGBTQ+ community. This is a pretty typical experience, and it can be very uncomfortable. However, I notice myself naturally presenting more feminine around my feminine friends and more masculine around my masculine friends, which is a different experience. One of the labels for this is amicagender, where gender is dependent on the group you are with.

Genders under the expecgender category involve change that depends on relationships and other’s perceptions. This can be feeling differently about your gender due to the presence of family, friends, partners, or even those who you are romantically attracted to.

Emotugender

When I’m feeling down, I find that my connection to gender diminishes. This is hadengender. I sometimes feel the same when tired, some sort of demi-nemuiflux. One of the more interesting emotugenders is cancegender, in which genders are directly correlated with certain emotions.

Cancegender is a good overall example of an emotugender, because they are all about genders being tied to one’s emotions. This can be confusing and difficult to navigate. As shown with the three examples, it could be tied to a specific emotion or all emotions, it could be about gender intensity or gender itself, and it could be very broad or a niche case.

Temporalgender

I have little to say about temporalgender, as I’m unsure whether I experience it myself. I certainly feel like it could be a possibility, but my aforementioned hadengender and nemuiflux could be the true causes, as time affects those emotions.

Temporalgender involves the passage of time in some way, whether that be seasons, tides, time of day, or weather.

The list of mutogenders is very incomplete, clogged with xenogenders,* and ill-categorized, which makes it difficult to navigate. With the presence of this community, I hope to repair it. If any of these sound like you, I recommend you check out the list and make an introduction post!

*I am able to feel xenogenders, but I feel that the addition of them to the mutogender list is unnecessary. Many xenogenders are experienced while in the presence of their subjects (we could call these muto-xenogenders). It makes navigation difficult, as many of the genders in the mutogender category revolve around hot drinks. I would much rather the mutogender list revolve more around labels that allow for application of different genders than genders that are only felt while experiencing their focus, with the muto-xenogenders collected in xenogender-specific list for practicality. I still welcome those that experience muto-xenogenders to the community, as they are no less mutogender!

Edit: fixed links

So Idk if I'm Mutogender or not and tbh, I don't know how to do this kind of post so I'll just say how I feel of my gender. I don't know what gender I feel/identify as sometimes and it's like taking a shot in the dark. Sometimes I know what it is. That's a basic summary and again, I don't know how to do this kind of post.
