A '''gender traditionalist''' is a person who believes in traditional ideals concerning gender, as defined by the society and culture they are a part of. Gender traditionalists often also promote and engage in the [[Gender Roles|social expectations, roles, and behaviors]] that are ascribed to them based on gender.

In Westernized countries, such an ideology often focuses on [[binary genders]] ([[male]] and [[female]]), and is linked closely to gender essentialism, biologism, and similar ideals. On its own, standard Western gender traditionalism often enspouses the belief that gender roles are the most optimal for the biological sexes to fulfil- and that they are necessary for a well working society.

Gender traditionalists in Western society are often [[Exorsexism|enbyphobic]] to those who don't fit into their ideas of binary gender. Sometimes they also disapprove of binary trans people because they don't conform to their [[Assigned Sex|assigned gender at birth.]]
