Gender Identity
Gender is a combination of gender identity, or a person's internal sense of who they are as a gendered-being, and gender expression, or how a person displays gender to the world (ie. clothing, hair, body language, make-up, etc.). Everyone has a gender identity and gender expression, even if it is neutral or agender, meaning without identity. Gender exists on a spectrum- there are as many genders in the world as there are people. However, gender is often mistaken for a binary, which assumes everyone is either a man or woman, based on the sex they were assigned at birth. Nonbinary, gender non-conforming, gender fluid, and transgender are some other examples of gender.
