 '''Gender''' refers to how one relates to the gender categories within one's society and culture. One's gender is built from many different aspects, including [[gender identity]], [[gender presentation]], [[gender alignment]], and [[gender modality]].
-All societies have a set of gender categories, each with their own cultural norms and expectations, which are typically based on a division of labor. In most societies--particularly Western societies--there is a [[Binary Genders|gender binary]], meaning two recognized genders ([[male]]/[[men]] and [[female]]/[[women]]), and those who exist outside these categories fall under the [[umbrella term]]s [[non-binary]] or [[genderqueer]]. Some societies have gender categories [[other]] than men and women, such as the [[hijra]]s of South Asia. These are often referred to as [[Third Gender|third genders]] (and fourth genders, etc.).
