Genderfluid Quotes

“Not a boy or a girl, not any binary, rigid definition of a person. Just my everything.”
― Leah Raeder, Cam Girl

“Understanding rustled through me, soft as leaves. It wasn’t quite the same, but I’d often felt I didn’t fit inside the boundaries of the word girl. It reminded me of a country I could happily visit, but the longer I stayed, the more I knew I couldn’t live there all the time. There were moments when I sorely wished to be free of the confines of this body, the expectations it seemed to carry.”
― A.R. Capetta, The Brilliant Death

“Do you prefer him or her? Either one's cool-I'm genderfluid.”
― Mvxx. Amillivn, Sappho Intl

“Yes, she was an orphan, a sister, a pirate, a girl, and also a boy. But more importantly, she was a person who sought power to protect those she loved. Including herself. Or himself. Both were equally true to her. Neither told the whole story.”
― Maggie Tokuda-Hall, The Mermaid, the Witch, and the Sea

“Cruz nodded. “In case you’re wondering, I have a dick.”
That earned a sudden, single bark of laughter from Shade, which in turn raised a disturbing red-and-white smile from Cruz.
“Is that a permanent condition?” Shade asked.
Cruz shrugged. “I don’t have a short answer.”
“Give me the long one. I’ll tell you if I get bored.” She flopped onto her bed.
“Okay. Well . . . you know it’s all on a spectrum, right? I mean, there are people—most people—who are born either M or F and are perfectly fine with that. And some people are born with one body but a completely different mind, you know? They know from, like, toddler age that they are in the wrong body. Me, I’m . . . more kind of neither. Or both. Or something.”
“You’re e), all of the above. You’re multiple choice, but on a true-false test.”
That earned another blood-smeared grin from Cruz. “Can I use that line?”
“I understand spectra, and I even get that sexuality and gender are different things,” Shade said, sitting up.”
― Michael Grant, Monster

“Even at such a tender age, I knew that life is lived in leftovers, account ledgers, and timetables rather than in the Platonic sphere of perfect theory. I couldn't float sylphlike around Love Hall in the flowing robes of indeterminacy for the rest of my life, however much I wished there to be no change. I had to accept my responsibilities and, at least in the eyes of the world and at least for the time being, nail my colors to a mast. Unless I wished to appear a strange wonder for the rest of time, caked in circus makeup covering the truth inches beneath, the mast would be male.”
― Wesley Stace, Misfortune

“When the two become the one
And the inside outside, the outside in
So that the male be not male nor the female female
Then will you see me.”
― Wesley Stace

“Our ideas of gender and sex being opposites does not fit the overlapping complexity of gender or sex. Is a beach part of the land or the sea? It has aspects of both, and tides that flow between two states. Some genderfluid people experience something very similar and can only say with certainty where they are right now, knowing that tomorrow they may feel very differently.”
― Sam Hope, Person-Centred Counselling for Trans and Gender Diverse People: A Practical Guide

“I want to be as laid-back about gender as they are. But I'm not laid-back at all, thanks to Dad. I'm Ashley or I'm Asher and that's that. While I'm switching, for that week or so, everything feels gross and inside out and bass-ackward until I can settle into what I'm switching to. That 'identify as airport' thing Dad said was icky, but it also hit a nail on the head. I hate being in between. It's like when a lousy radio DJ doesn't know how to fade one song into another. That few seconds when both songs are playing but the beats aren't blending and you're like, Oh my god, go back to DJ school.”
― Jules Machias, Both Can Be True
