'''Gender''' generally refers to a person's sense of gender identity as a man, woman, or some other gender identity. A person's gender is generally considered to be independent of their [[sex|physical sex]] (which refers to their general physical characteristics) and their gender presentation (which refers to whether they engage in behavior or dress in ways socially associated with masculinity or femininity). When a persons gender identity corresponds with a person's [[physical sex]], as male or female, they are considered [[Cisgender|cisgendered]]. When the physical sex and gender differ, they may identify as [[transgender]], gender variant, or [[genderqueer]].
