A rhetorical device or debating tactic used to challenge the argument that “Anyone who identifies as trans is trans/valid.”
It quotes the following 2015 anecdote from Mike Huckabee, a well-known anti-trans public figure:
“I wish someone told me in high school that I could have felt like a woman when it came time to take showers in PE. I’m pretty sure that I would have found my feminine side and said, ‘Coach, I think I’d rather shower with the girls today.’”
The test asks whether or not this teen version of Mike Huckabee is valid as a genderfluid trans teen.
The test forces the opposing side into an ultimatum:
1) Accept the absurd, bad-faith hypothetical as a valid trans identity, validating a transphobic comment by Mike Huckabee.
2) Admit that some standards are necessary for what constitutes a “valid” trans person, in order to exclude trolls like Mike Huckabee, thereby disproving the notion that “anyone who identifies as trans is trans”.
Named in August 2025 by Haley Halcyon (@2gd4.me on Bluesky) after she, quote unquote, “decisively won an Internet debate for the first time” using this strategy. As originally explained:
“Any #transmedicalist who finds someone who parrots the sleepwoking line ‘anyone who identifies as trans is trans’ or ‘all trans people are valid’, my advice is this:
• Apply the Genderfluid Mike Huckabee Test.
• Don’t let off when they try to deflect.
• Point out the gate they implicitly keep.”

Her argument for self-ID, total bodily autonomy, and zero gatekeeping was a crowdpleaser, until I hit her with the Genderfluid Mike Huckabee Test and she ragequit.

A Non-Genderal person is someone who likes no gender. They DON'T like boys, girls, they's/them's, blacks, whites, hispanic, etc. A Non-Genderal person will most likely not have children or get married since they have no interest in any gender. This does not make a Non-Genderal person apart of LGBT. For all the religious people, being Non-Genderal is not a sin! No where in the Bible does it say!
What's your sexuallity?
Oh, I'm Non-Genderal!
What's that?
Well it means I like no gender or race, I have interest in no one.
