Faunafluid refers to individuals whose gender identity fluctuates between different animal-related genders. This gender identity is often associated with xenogender, where someone’s understanding of their gender is linked to animals, nature, or non-human concepts. A faunafluid person may feel their gender change between identities like “foxgender,” “wolfgender,” or other animal-related identities, with the fluidity reflecting shifts in their connection to these animal traits over time. This gender identity is deeply personal and often symbolic, blending aspects of nature and identity in a fluid way.
Imagine someone who feels their gender is deeply connected to animals and the natural world. One day, they might feel a strong connection to the traits of a fox, identifying with its quickness and independence. Another day, they might feel more like a wolf, focusing on strength and loyalty. Their gender identity shifts between these animal-like qualities, depending on how they feel, much like the changing seasons. It’s as if their gender identity mirrors the instincts and traits of different animals, flowing between them as they move through life. For a faunafluid person, their gender is fluid, like the ever-changing behaviors of animals in nature. Some days they feel more connected to the playful nature of a cat, while other days, they might feel more introspective, like a wise owl. Their gender identity is not fixed in human terms; instead, it moves with their connection to different animal traits. Think of it like putting on different “animal masks” depending on the day. One day they might “wear” the fox mask, and another day they “wear” the wolf mask, with the choice reflecting how they feel internally. This connection to animals allows them to express their gender in a fluid, unique way that doesn’t fit within traditional human categories.
