The '''binary genders''' (also [[exorgender]]s or '''aptobinary''') is the concept of dividing [[gender]] into two "primary" categories and is used in most modern cultures.<ref>Keating, A. (2002). ''Gender'' (C. Summers, Ed.). Glbtq. https://web.archive.org/web/20150702154320/http://www.glbtq.com/literature/gender.html</ref> The opposite of binary is [[non-binary]] or [[abinary]], which are [[umbrella term]]s including any [[gender]]s that are not included in a binary gender system. Binary gendered individuals can be [[cisgender]] or [[transgender]].

The term aptobinary is a label to describe [[suptilian]] [[monogender]] binary, meaning it's not [[genderfluid|fluid]] ([[kymenian]]) nor [[genderflux|flux]] ([[diastimian]]), and [[allogender]]ed (not [[agiaspec]]). Other gender [[conformant]] terms apply.<ref>https://www.google.com/amp/s/beyond-mogai-pride-flags.tumblr.com/post/700210194262769664/transcript-eight-horizontal-stripes-colored-with/amp</ref>
In Western society, the gender binary has two genders: [[Woman|women]] and [[Man|men]]. Not every culture or society shares this system. Some cultures may have more than two gender categories, [[Two Spirit|such as certain Native American cultures]]. These are sometimes referred to as [[Third Gender|third genders]]. ▼
Aptobinary includes two forms of individuals:

*people who exclusively, at all times and wholly identify as women, girls or female, with their female identity being [[fingender|feminine in nature]];
Currently the gender binary is used to describe the misconception that men and women are the only two possible genders and that they can be assigned on the based on genitalia. This system often also typically enforces a masculine [[Gender Presentation|gender expression]] for men and feminine gender expression for women. This is almost directly a result of colonization causing the suppression of [[Gender Non-Conforming|gender non-conforming]], transgender, and non-binary, individuals as well as individuals with cultural gender binary identities. This system also tends to favor men, especially [[cisgender]] men.▼
