Gender expression

It is one of the five main components of Sexual Identity. To put it simply, gender expression is our appearance, who others think we are, based on our appearance, and the expression of our gender/sex and identity. It is the way of expressing ourselves, our tastes, and the expected behavior that society imposes to us, and that we impose on ourselves. There are masculine gender expression, feminine gender expression, and the androgynous people, whose gender expression is a mixture, which can be variable, of the two.
