Gender (noun)

Definition

Gender is the name for a grouping of behavioural and social norms that are applied to people based on the gender they are perceived as having. The conduct shown by people in light of these norms, this accountability is not produced by gender: it is gender.

Gender is thus also someone’s identity: the gender someone identifies with (and as) forms the internal framework for that person’s behaviour.
