The Gendered Self

"The Gendered Self" refers to the ways in which individuals understand and express their gender identity, influenced by societal norms, cultural expectations, and personal experiences. It recognizes that gender is not just about biological differences but involves a complex interplay of roles, behaviors, and identities that can vary across different cultures and time periods. This concept suggests that our sense of self, including how we perceive and present our gender, is shaped by both internal feelings and external influences, highlighting the diversity and fluidity of gender experiences in society.
