Gender Non-Conformity

Gender non-conformity refers to behaviors, appearances, or expressions that do not align with society’s traditional or stereotypical expectations for one’s assigned gender at birth. For example, a person assigned male at birth who enjoys fashion typically associated with women, or a person assigned female at birth who prefers activities stereotypically linked to men. It’s about individual differences in how people express their gender identity and roles, which may vary widely and do not necessarily indicate their gender identity or sexual orientation. Recognizing gender non-conformity promotes understanding and respect for diverse gender expressions.
