Key Concepts

Androgyny

Androgyny in the context of gender identity refers to the presence of both high levels of traditionally masculine and high levels of traditionally feminine characteristics within a single individual. This blending of traits challenges conventional binary understandings of gender and fosters a more flexible gender expression.

Femininity

Femininity includes traits, behaviors, and roles typically associated with girls and women, such as sensitivity, nurturing, and emotional expressiveness. Like masculinity, the expression of femininity can vary significantly across cultures and individuals.

Masculinity

Masculinity encompasses a range of traits, behaviors, and roles historically and culturally associated with boys and men. These characteristics often include assertiveness, strength, and competitiveness, but they can vary widely across different cultures and contexts.

Gender Identity

Gender identity refers to an individual's personal, deeply-felt internal sense of being male, female, or a blend of both. It is a key aspect of a person’s overall identity and may or may not align with the biological sex assigned at birth.
