'''Gender Presentation''' or '''Gender Expression''' refers to how one's appearance and behavior is categorized by society in relation to the genders recognized in that society. While gender presentation is often thought of as being an indication of one's actual gender, that is not always the case. For example, a woman may present androgynously or masculinely, or a [[Non-Binary|non-binary]]
Since most
Gender presentation is typically described as "[[masculine]]", "[[feminine]]", "[[androgynous]]" or "[[Neutral|gender neutral]]". Masculine and feminine presentations are based on if one looks, behaves, and/or wears clothes, that are traditionally associated with men or with women respectively. What is considered masculine and feminine presentation can change over time and from culture to culture, one's gender presentation is typically judged based on the culture they currently live in or the culture they grew up with. Androgynous presentation typically involves presenting with traits typically associated with men and women at the same time. Gender neutral presentation typically involves presenting in a way that is not strongly associated with men or women. For example, in modern western culture, dresses and skirts are strongly associated with women, and therefore a feminine gender expression. Pants are commonly worn by both men and women so are therefore gender neutral.
