'''Gender''' refers to a social identity that generally (but not always) corresponds to the binary sexes, [[male]] and [[female]], though not always.<ref name=":0">https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/gender</ref> Many non-Western cultures have genders besides male and female, and there is a growing number of people even in Western society who identify as [[nonbinary]] or [[genderqueer]]. People who identify with their assigned gender at birth ([[AGAB]]) are referred to as [[cisgender]]; those who do not are referred to as [[transgender]]. People who identify as the other binary gender than what they were assigned at birth are sometimes called binary transgender; those who identify as something else are called nonbinary or genderqueer.<ref name=":1">https://www.genderspectrum.org/quick-links/understanding-gender/</ref> | '''Gender''' refers to a social identity that generally (but not always) corresponds to the binary sexes, [[male]] and [[female]], though this is not always the case.<ref name=":0">https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/gender</ref> Many non-Western cultures have genders besides male and female, and there is a growing number of people even in Western society who identify as [[nonbinary]] or [[genderqueer]].
