'''Gender expression''' or '''gender performance''' is "The way in which a person expresses their [[gender identity]] through [[clothing]], behavior, posture, mannerisms, speech patterns, activities and more."<ref>"LGBT resources: Definition of terms." [http://geneq.berkeley.edu/lgbt_resources_definiton_of_terms]</ref> Within the [[gender binary]], the two main categories of gender expression are '''feminine''' ('''femininity''') and '''masculine''' ('''masculinity'''). Additionally, a gender expression can be '''androgynous''' ('''androgyny'''), though there is no agreement on whether androgyny means a lack of gender markers, or a mix of feminine and masculine gender markers. A feminine person isn't necessarily [[female]], a masculine person isn't necessarily [[male]], and an androgynous person isn't necessarily an [[androgyne]] or [[nonbinary]]. | '''Gender expression''' or '''gender performance''' is "The way in which a person expresses their [[gender identity]] through [[clothing]], behavior, posture, mannerisms, speech patterns, activities and more."<ref>"LGBT resources: Definition of terms."
