    '''Conformant''' describes a person who falls into the expected societal ideals, expectations, or roles for some form of identification. One can be conformant in terms of [[gender]], [[sex]], [[Gender Presentation|gender expression]], orientation, relationships, or other related forms of self-identification. The opposite of conformant is [[variant]]. People can be variant in some areas and conformant in other areas. To specify certain subcommunities, terms like gender conformant, attractional conformant, pronominal conformant, etc. can be used. Conformant on it's own can also be used to refer to someone who is fully conformant in all aspects.
