Unicode: U+2642 ♂\|100x100px]] '''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.

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]]. == Flag == Line 16 ⟶ 17: The male flag was designed by arco-pluris on September 18 2020, based on a stamp by DeviantArt user SilenceTheFox.<ref>https://beyond-mogai-pride-flags.tumblr.com/post/629623620981948416/male-flag</ref><ref>https://www.deviantart.com/silencethefox/art/Male-Man-Boy-Stamp-736782061</ref> There is no known meaning. 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. An alternate man flag was created by Tumblr user tartersause on an unknown date.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20240629151500/https://www.tumblr.com/redacted-coiner/754515985501995008/radiomogai-liom-archive-imoga-pride?source=share</ref> == Resources == <references /> [[Category:Gender]] [[Category:~~Masculine~~Male Genders]] [[Category:Conformant Terms]]
