After "freezing", their gender may be different than it was before being fluid, or revert back to the same gender every time it becomes static. For example, after a demiboy's gender melts and refreezes, their gender may go back to being demiboy, or a different gender entirely such as bigender.
Meltiflux is a subset of meltigender, it is the fluctuating counterpart of meltigender. For example: ones gender could be female but under certain situations they may become girlish instead.
History
Meltigender was coined by FANDOM user Ringotheman on May 16th, 2021.[1] It was originally a joke between him and his friend, however he later elaborated on the definition to create an identity for genuine usage. He coined it with the name "gendermelt"; however, that was already a term with a different definition, coined earlier by tumblr user genderheaven. The name was changed to meltigender by FANDOM user Reign of the breadsticcs for that reason.
Meltiflux was coined by Reddit user u/hiitsyaz.
Flag
The meltigender flag was also coined by FANDOM user Ringotheman on May 27th, 2021.[2] It features blue-tinted colors from the genderfluid flag to represent fluidity. A dripping effect is present to represent the "melting" effect, as well as an ice cube made with the kymenian/genderstatic flag colors to represent the "freezing" effect.
