Binary Genders: Difference between revisions

The '''Binary Genders''' are the two "primary" categories of genders used in a Western society. The opposite of binary is [[Non-Binary|non-binary]] or [[abinary]], which are [[Umbrella Term|umbrella termsterm]]s including any genders that are not included in a binary gender system (this usually means genders that are not completely and solely male or completely and solely female). Binary gendered individuals can be [[cisgender]] or [[transgender]]. It's also a [[gender arity]].

In Western society, the gender binary has two genders: [[Female|women]]/girls[[girl]]s and [[Male|men]]/boysboy]]s. 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]].
