+'''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] [https://web.archive.org/web/20230309135110/http://geneq.berkeley.edu/lgbt_resources_definiton_of_terms Archived] on 17 July 2023</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]].

+Femininity is traditionally associated with womanhood and girlhood. This can include things like long hair, dresses, floral patterns, softness, long nails. People who present feminine often incorporate things that are associate with femininity into their appearance. Being open about your emotions, and expressing yourself in a tactful way is usually considered feminine. Girls are often socialized in a different way compared to boys, which results in a huge rift between how the different groups interact, or handle things like feelings and platonic relationships.
+Some gender identities and gender expressions that are usually defined as feminine include [[femme]], [[demigirl]], and [[transfeminine|trans-feminine]]<ref name="NBGQ2016">[http://nonbinarystats.tumblr.com/post/141311159050/nbgq-survey-2016-the-worldwide-results NB/GQ Survey 2016 - the worldwide results], March 2016.

+==Masculinity==
+''Please help fill out this section.''
+[[Masculinity]] is often associated with rougher things than femininity. Confidence, violence, and being emotionally closed off are often traditionally masculine traits, which together with most boys being socialized differently results in a huge rift between how the different groups interact, or handle things like feelings and platonic relationships.
+Some masculine gender identities and expressions include [[butch]], [[masculine of center]], and by some definitions, [[boi]] and [[demiboy]].
