It is their sense of being a woman, man, both, neither or anywhere along or outside of the gender spectrum. Gender expression refers to how a person expresses their gender through behaviour and outward appearance such as dress, hair, make-up, body language and voice. A person’s name and pronoun are also common ways of expressing gender identity.
