'''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 [[Müllerian|muellerian]] [[Sex|phenotypical traits]]
* a [[Gender Binary|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 [[Müllerian|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 [https://lgbtqia.wiki/wiki/Pleonotic 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 [[Demigirl|women but not entirely]]).

Identifying as a woman is often associated with "female" [[Sex|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 Roles|gender role]], but these are not necessary, and it is still possible to [[Gender Identity|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<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20180326051732/https://trintinic.tumblr.com/post/169059132556/woman-flag-i-created-this-flag-because-i</ref>. 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<ref>https://archive.ph/QdI7C</ref>, and was based on a stamp by DeviantArt user SilenceTheFox<ref>https://archive.ph/pEoBl</ref>. There is no known meaning behind the flag.
