What& #39;s the difference between gender identity & gender expression? Gender Identity Vs Gender Expression is out now! http://dearbiary.com/2020/10/12/gender-identity-vs-gender-expression/">https://dearbiary.com/2020/10/1...
Gender is a complicated thing - in most societies, there is a basic division between gender attributes assigned to males and females.
Gender can correlate with someones biological sex (cisgender) or differ from it (trans) - and one& #39;s gender expression can also differ or conform to whatever gender you identify as. But what& #39;s the difference?
Let& #39;s start with gender identity. Gender identity is the sense of one& #39;s own gender ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender )">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gend... - so it ecompasses terms such as transgender, nonbinary, cisgender etc.
But gender expression is a bit more complex than gender identity - gender expression refers to a person& #39;s gender identity, but this is not always the case (e.g.
my gender identity is nonbinary, but I express myself in a typically masculine way, while someone with the same gender identity may dress in a typically feminine way).
