The '''binary genders''' (also [[exorgender]]s or '''aptobinary''') is the concept of dividing [[gender]] into two "primary" categories and is used in most modern cultures.<ref>Keating, A. (2002). ''Gender'' (C. Summers, Ed.). Glbtq. https://web.archive.org/web/20150702154320/http://www.glbtq.com/literature/gender.html</ref> The opposite of binary is [[non-binary]] or [[abinary]], which are [[umbrella term]]s including any [[gender]]s that are not included in a binary gender system. Binary gendered individuals can be [[cisgender]] or [[transgender]].
==Aptobinary==
The
Aptobinary includes two forms of individuals:
*people who exclusively, at all times and wholly identify as women, girls or female, with their female identity being [[fingender|feminine in nature]];
*people who exclusively, at all times and wholly identify as men, boys or male, with their male identity being [[mingender|masculine in nature]].
==Gender Arities==
In most modern cultures, the gender binary has two genders: [[female]] ([[fiaspec]]/[[wifgender]]) and [[male]] ([[miaspec]]/[[wergender]]). However, not every culture or society shares this system. Some cultures may have more than two gender categories, [[Two Spirit|such as certain Native American cultures]]. These are sometimes referred to as [[Third Gender|third genders]].
== Gender Binary in Popular Culture ==▼
Currently, the gender binary is used to describe the misconception that men and women are the only two possible genders and that they can be assigned based on genitalia. This system often also typically enforces a masculine [[gender expression]] for men and feminine gender expression for women. This is often a result of colonization causing the suppression of [[gender non-conforming]], transgender, and non-binary, individuals as well as individuals with cultural gender binary identities.<ref>Chang, C. (2021, December 16). ''Colonization of gender: From tradition to modern day''. Scot Scoop News. https://scotscoop.com/colonization-of-gender-from-tradition-to-modern-day/</ref> This system also tends to favor [[cisgender]] men.▼
