'''Gender identity''' is the experience of one's own gender, regardless of physical characteristics ([[sex]]), intentional appearance and behavior ([[gender expression]]), or sexual orientation. Most people identify as the gender that they were [[Sex#gender assigned at birth|assigned at birth]], which is called being [[cisgender]]. [[Transgender]] people don't identify as the genders they were assigned at birth.
People use '''clothes''' as a way of talk without words, to tell others what kind of person they are. However, because [[gender identity]] is different than [[gender expression]], a person's gender identity may or may not correlate with how they wear their hair or clothes. For example, if someone likes to wear clothes from the women's wear department, or feminine accessories, that doesn't necessarily mean that they identify as a [[female|woman]]. There is no set style or guidelines for [[nonbinary]] presentation due to the diversity of identities encompassed within these terms. Clothing links and descriptions may be identity-specific as well as subject to variation by the individual. For example, a person identifying as an [[androgyne]] may not necessarily wish to [[Nonbinary#Nonbinary_presentation_and_expression|present]] as [[androgyny|androgynous]]. Some nonbinary people like clothes that don't give any female or [[male]] markers (gender-neutral fashion). Other nonbinary people like clothes that mix female and male markers (mixed-gender fashion). Yet other nonbinary people wear clothes that are very similar to either conventional women's wear or conventional men's wear.


All societies and cultures have certain categories that people use to express their gender. In the European culture (i.e. Europe, America, Australia...) these categories are typically [[male]] and [[female]] ([[Binarism]]). There are, however, other societies that have more than two recognized gender identities.
