'''Male''' (also known as '''man''', '''guy''', '''dude''', or '''boy''' (diminutive)) is a [[gender]] which is part of the Western [[gender binary]]. It is often associated with [[masculinity]] and a connection to boyhood or masculinity (as defined in one's society). It includes both [[cisgender]], [[transgender]], [[genderqueer]], and [[non-binary]] men. Some [[non-binary]] individuals may have a partial connection to being a man/boy or masculinity, in which case they may identify as a [[Non-Binary Man|non-binary male]], man-[[aligned]] ([[helian]]), [[maingender]], and/or [[miaspec]]. |

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 are [[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 are 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. |

The boy flag was posted by Tumblr user satyrradio on June 26th, 2024. The blue represents snips, the teal represents snails, and the brown represents puppy-dog tails.<ref>https://archive.ph/xeY5w</ref> The stripe meanings reference a popular nursery rhyme that states that these are the things boys are made of. |
