'''Gender alignment''' is terminology used by some [[nonbinary]] people to describe their experience of gender. For instance, a [[genderless]] person may identify as female-aligned because they have experiences in common with women, or a [[demiboy]] may identify as male-aligned because they are partly a boy, or a [[maverique]] may identify as unaligned because they have no ties to manhood or womanhood.
