What's your opinion on "genderfluidity"?

Some people on the internet are claiming that they are "Genderfluid" and basically switch between genders lol...

As far as I've understood it, it doesn't have to do anything with like, the sexes. It's just a term for a type of gender expression that is often misunderstood by people who don't want to understand it, and blown out of proportion by people who think the idea of gender expression is odd and would rather stick to the strict stereotypes.

They might feel like being more feminine one day, masculine another, and switch things up to match. It's mostly about gender expression, less about what they got in their pants.

@NorthernRoses I have no problem with the style itself. In fact it's cool. But people on sites like tumblr blow it out of proportion and make it a "Valid" gender which I find weird.

@ChiChi93 what about people like yourself that say "I am a woman, I don't want to be a man" isn't that just as valid a reason as "I want to be Both" ?

@ChiChi93 Yeah, there are a few rotten eggs. I lump them in with the people who misunderstand and take things out of proportion. Those people are also often the kind of people who dislike people for being healthy, positive, etc. and are incredibly self-destructive. You just gotta not to listen to them, and to check on what things actually are all about.

I have seen some people talking about validating genderfluidity. More often than not it's nonsense written by 12-13 year olds (AKA most of Tumblr) who are still working on figuring out who they are and who want to find something unique and special about themselves (AKA almost all early teenagers, making a fool of yourself in middle school is a part of growing up, sadly). There are a few people who ask to be validated in the sense of "these stereotypes exist and few people seem to be doing anything about them, so if I stick to these stereotypes and look like this I guess I'm this now, right?". And I absolutely accept that idea, keeping it like a miniature private revolution against society's gender stereotypes.

Either way, I'll have no issues with it. I believe people need to figure shit out for themselves, and that people should respect that.

Otherwise, you might get another heartbreaking fiasco like this one; just some kid who made a thing, and someone's very cruel response that went viral. Imagine if that happened to you when you were a kid.
