'''Conformant''' describes an individual 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]]. Individuals can be variant in some areas and conformant in other areas. To specify certain subcommunities, terms like gender conformant, [[attraction]] conformant, [[Pronouns|pronoun]] 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.
