Genders refer to the social and cultural roles, behaviors, and identities that societies associate with being male, female, or other identities. Traditionally, many cultures recognized only two genders, male and female, based on biological differences. However, contemporary understanding acknowledges a spectrum of genders, including non-binary, genderqueer, and genderfluid identities, which do not fit strictly into these categories. The concept of gender is distinct from sex, which refers to the biological differences between males and females. Gender identity is how individuals perceive themselves and what they call themselves, which may or may not align with their biological sex. This understanding promotes inclusivity and respect for diverse gender expressions.
