<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>The difference between &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Gender]] and [[Sex]]&#039;&#039;&#039; is one of the founding principles of the modern concept of [[gender]]. This principle states that [[gender identity]] - the internal psychological experience of [[gender]] - is separate from, and not necessarily aligned with, the physical [[Sex|sex characteristics]] of your body. This can be difficult to understand for those whose [[gender identity]] matches their [[Assigned_Sex|assigned sex]] ([[cisgender]]) but can result in discomfort and [[dysphoria]] for those whose internal experience of [[gender]] does not match their body or how others view them ([[transgender]]).<br /> <br /> [[Gender Roles|Gender roles]] refer to the expected behavior and responsibilities a society has for [[Man|men]] and [[Woman|women]], and can cover anything from clothing to mannerisms to social obligations to what jobs one is allowed to have. Anything considered &quot;[[Masculinity|masculine]]&quot; or &quot;[[Femininity|feminine]]&quot; but which is not directly related to physical [[sex]] falls into this category. Some stereotypical examples include emotional vulnerability as &quot;[[Woman|female]]&quot; and physical labor as &quot;[[Man|male]]&quot;, or dolls for girls and trucks for boys. Because it&#039;s culturally dependent, [[gender]] can vary widely between regions and time periods; for example, skirts may be considered [[Masculinity|masculine]] in one culture (e.g. Scottish/Gaelic kilts or ancient Egyptian shendyt) but [[Femininity|feminine]] in another (e.g. modern Europe or America). How rigid [[Gender Roles|gender roles]] are and the reaction to bending or breaking them also varies widely.<br /> <br /> In many cultures, especially Western ones, [[gender]] is seen as a [[Gender binary|binary choice]] between [[male]] and [[female]], although there is increasing awareness of [[transgender]] and [[Non-binary|non-binary identities]]. Other cultures may already have [[Third Gender|three or more genders]], such as [[Two-Spirit]] people in many Native American societies or [[Hijra]] in India.<br /> [[Category:Transgender Concepts]]<br /> [[Category:Culture]]<br /> [[Category:Sex]]</div>
