'''Gender''' refers to a social identity that generally 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]]. 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. Sex itself isn't binary, Sex is also a spectrum, such as male, female, intersex and others. <ref name=":1">https://www.genderspectrum.org/quick-links/understanding-gender/</ref>

When someone identifies as a certain gender, such as a man, woman, nonbinary or others, it is not a self ideology, it's a fact, it's who they are. <ref name=":1">https://www.genderspectrum.org/quick-links/understanding-gender/</ref>
