Gender nonconforming refers to individuals whose gender expression differs from societal expectations based on their assigned sex at birth. This can manifest in various ways, including clothing, behavior, and personal presentation that challenge traditional gender norms. People who are gender nonconforming may identify as non-binary, genderqueer, or other identities that do not fit neatly into the binary categories of male and female. Embracing gender nonconformity promotes a broader understanding of gender and encourages acceptance of diverse identities within society.
