[[Gender presentation]], or gender expression, is an aspect of gender referring to how an individual's appearance and behavior is categorized by society in relation to the genders recognized in that culture. |

While gender presentation is often thought of as being an indication of one's gender identity, that is not always the case. For example, a woman may present [[androgynous]]ly or [[masculine]]ly, or a non-binary individual may present masculinely or [[feminine]]ly. Individuals whose gender presentations do not align with their actual gender are known as [[Gender Non-Conforming|gender non-conforming]]. Some individuals may change their gender presentation from day to day or along with their gender identity. |
