Can a genderfluid person be straight?

Yes, a person can be both genderfluid (having a fluctuating gender identity) and straight (attracted to people of the "opposite" gender), because gender identity (who you are) is separate from sexual orientation (who you're attracted to). A genderfluid person might feel attracted to men when they identify as a woman, and women when they identify as a man, or they might consistently be attracted to men (or women) regardless of their current gender, leading them to identify as straight or gay in those moments, or perhaps queer overall, as it's their unique experience.

Can you be nonbinary and still be a girl?

Yes, you can absolutely be both nonbinary and a woman, as nonbinary describes a gender identity outside the traditional male/female binary, while "woman" can be part of that identity, such as a nonbinary woman, demigirl, or trans woman who feels connected to womanhood but not exclusively female. This means having elements of both, a blend, or a strong alignment with femininity while still not being a binary woman, and you can present femininely, use she/her pronouns, or identify as both nonbinary and a woman.
