Getting a hard time online because they said they were gender fluid. Turns out there is more to it than swapping clothes. Noone really know what it is though

I got the impression it was the writer who called them that.

Love your username btw, OP Grin

FeckinCrutches · 15/07/2017 17:15

The didn't say they were gender fluid in the article though?

Zjmlove · 15/07/2017 17:17

Have you read the interview?

QuentinSummers · 15/07/2017 17:17

Wtf does "woke" mean? I keep seeing it and I don't get it!
That whole article is weird. Who cares what clothes they wear. Bizarre

Zjmlove · 15/07/2017 17:23

Quentin.... you can say 'who cares' about anything.
Clearly people do care because they buy it and read the magazine.

Anyway, zayn and Gigi are not getting still k online OP. It's the magazine that mentioned gender fluid. They just said they sometimes wear each other's clothes (tshirts and jackets) which is what a lot of couples do, especially their age.

Getting stick online *

QuentinSummers · 15/07/2017 17:30

What is going on on here today? There's no need to snark at me.
I'm just always surprised the daily mail prints so much random opinion from online.

QuentinSummers · 15/07/2017 17:34

Oh actually I think I get it zjmlove? Is your user name based on Zayn Javadd Malik? I guess you care A LOT about Zayn articles in that case Grin

Zjmlove · 15/07/2017 17:41

What haha? I didn't 'snark' at you. It's just funny saying who cares, if it's in vogue a lot of people care.
Sorry if you thought I was being rude.

AssignedMentalAtBirth · 15/07/2017 17:50

Rhonda Fair enough. But what's funny is that Vogue and they have been attacked for an incorrect usage of 'gender fluid'.

Nobody know what the fuck it means or what it doesn't mean

To be honest I don't know what gender fluid actually is! But I'm guessing it's not borrowing your boyfriends top.

AncientRain · 15/07/2017 17:53

Gender fluid sounds like a bodily fluid you really don't want to be in contact with

AssignedMentalAtBirth · 15/07/2017 18:03

The boardroom of Vogue/Teen Vogue must be a riot at the moment. One of them is telling young girls who to take it up the arse and the other has to apologise for not knowing what 'gender fluid' is.

Yeah, probably infects you with genderism.

With social media, the world's gotten very small and it can seem like everyone's doing the same thing. Gender, whatever—you want to make your own statement. You know? You want to feel distinct,' the Pillow Talk hit maker said.

Well I wouldn't mind someone trying to make an impact by being different, but borrowing your boyfriend's clothes is as old as the hills.

If gender is a spectrum from masculine to feminine, gender fluidity is that you present anywhere along that spectrum. Except it always seems to be women punching up, rather than men punching down, sartorially speaking.

Obviously, because a woman wearing masculine clothing is good and approved of, but a man wearing feminine clothing is a sissy. Hierarchy.

I can't wait for gender, whether it's fluid or not to be less about clothing and more about the actual roles.

Living it instead of wearing it.

@QuentinSummers

"Woke" is Millennial for "enlightened" or progressive. IMO it's a short walk from there to "Wake up, sheeple", but what do I know? I'm old, and the only progressing I'm doing is a gradual lapse away from the left.

VestalVirgin · 16/07/2017 12:12

Living it instead of wearing it.

Well, women cannot actually do that, now, can we? We cannot get a pay rise by "feeling male". Or be left alone by harrassers, etc. (Well, the latter, some can, but I can dress as masculine as I want, I'd never pass)

Males should absolutely do, though. Showing their inner femininity by doing more unpaid housework and childcare and asking their boss for a pay cut (or donate a percentage of their income to a transman so he can live more authentic.)

Datun · 16/07/2017 12:24

Well this is what I was getting at.

Change your gender all you like, but it's meaningless until you change the role, not your appearance.

And I agree, women can't do it.
