One of the problems of gender is that is has always been held to be binary - a person is either born male or female, and therefore will grow up to be either a man or a woman. However, a person who is gender fluid/flexible may not necessarily fit into that definition - while the traditional roles are mutually exclusive (if one is a man, then one cannot possibly be a woman, and vice versa), a gender fluid person may be born with female genitalia, and sometimes feel like a woman, but at other times they may feel like a man, despite their physical appearance. They may feel both simultaneously, or change between feeling female and feeling male. Their gender (not the same as sex) is flexible - it is not restricted to the "normal" gender binary - and may change according to their mood or external environment.

Both, gender roles will influence gender identity. the expectations that are place on specific genders which will consequently create the stereotypical gender roles will influence an individual's gender identification.
