"Gender state" is the biological component of "gender identity". While gender identity is purely a social construct, gender state is biological. However, the way you label your gender state is a social construct (because labels are social constructs).

Most of the time, your gender state matches your gender identity. However, some ppl, such as genderfluid ppl, can be in any of many different gender states at a given time.

A genderfluid person can be in a male state, or a female state, or another state and still identify as genderfluid. Because identity != state != expression.
