Gender Expression

Gender expression refers to how individuals outwardly present their gender identity through behaviors, clothing, hairstyle, voice, and other cues. It’s about how people choose to express themselves in ways that may align with societal expectations of masculinity, femininity, both, or neither. Importantly, gender expression is separate from a person’s biological sex or internal sense of gender identity; it’s about outward presentation and can vary widely among individuals. Respecting gender expression involves acknowledging each person’s unique way of expressing themselves without judgment.
