Man is a term used for adults, while boy is used for children and teenagers. Guy is used as a casual word for men, typically younger men. Male can be used as an umbrella term for both men and boys, or is sometimes used as a synonym for man, however "male" can also be used to denote [[sex]]ual traits, and is typically not used in general conversation due to it being considered overly clinical/formal. "Man" and "boy" are generally used when referring to gender as opposed to "male". "Male" is sometimes also used to exclude transmasculine people. The word [[wergender]] was created to encompass all of the various words. |

Individuals who |
Individuals who were [[AMAB|assigned male at birth]] (AMAB) are often raised with the expectation that they will identify as men, although not all AMAB individuals are male and not all males were AMAB. Identifying as a man is often associated with a masculine [[gender expression]] and gender role, however not all males are masculine-presenting, and neither all individuals who are masculine-presenting are actually men. Not every individual who was AMAB is [[wolffian]] or [[dyadic]]. |
