Woman

Woman is a gender identity which is seen as part of the gender binary. Woman is a term used for adults, and corresponds to the terms girl (for children and adolescents), female (age neutral/adjective) and often femininity.

Definitions of woman

a person whose gender embodies and/or epitomizes femininity, the gender derived from muellerian phenotypical traits
a binary gender associated with, derived from, innate to, or related to being a biological female
someone whose personal, internal identity aligns with the societal, attributed, psychological, and some physiological traits that come from the female phenotype
someone who intentionally is in accordance with roles, behaviors, activities, and attributes specific and unique to socially constructed qualities uniquely expected from muellerian individuals

Despite common belief, the word "female" is not sex-specific and does not inherently refer to physical biology, although it can. It is the age-neutral form of woman/girl and is also the adjective form. It is also used for pleonotic individuals.

About

Children born with vulvas are often raised with the expectation that they will identify as women, although intersex children may also be assigned to this identity while not possessing all of the above characteristics. Women may be cisgender (assigned female or sometimes intersex at birth and identifying as women), transgender (assigned male or sometimes intersex at birth and identifying as women), or non-binary (assigned any sex at birth, and identifying as women but not entirely).

Identifying as a woman is often associated with "female" sex characteristics such as a vagina, a vulva, a uterus, wide hips, breasts and a high-pitched voice, as well as a traditionally feminine gender expression and gender role, but these are not necessary, and it is still possible to identify as a woman without them. It is the female gender that is derived from these traits.

Flags

The woman flag was created by Tumblr user Trintinic on December 29th, 2017^[1]. The dark pink represents those who identify fully as women, pink represents those who identify partially as women, and white represents multigender individuals who have woman as one of their genders.

The female flag was designed by Tumblr user arco-pluris on September 18th, 2020^[2], and was based on a stamp by DeviantArt user SilenceTheFox^[3]. There is no known meaning behind the flag.
