'''Gender Alignment''' is a term used by some [[Non-Binary|non-binary]] individuals to describe the way their experiences and/or gender may intersect with the gender binary. Related terms include [[woman]] aligned, [[man]] aligned, and sometimes [[neutral]] aligned or [[Abinary|unaligned]]. One may also identify as woman aligned and man aligned at the same time. This may be because one has an androgynous gender, or one may have different reasoning for each. |

The terms [[feminine]] aligned and [[masculine]] aligned are also sometimes used but these are not interchangeable with woman/man aligned. Someone with a feminine gender is not necessarily a woman or related to women, and someone with a masculine gender is not necessarily a man or related to men.

Gender alignment is something that one may identify as, but not all non-binary people use gender alignment. Just because someone identifies themself as a certain alignment doesn't mean that someone with a similar gender and/or experience will also identify with the same alignment or even identify with alignment at all. |
