Apart from male and female, See 5 other genders that exist

Gender is the range of characteristics pertaining to, and differentiating between, masculinity and femininity. Depending on the context, these characteristics may include biological sex, I.e the state of being male, female, or an intersex variation, sex-based social structures i.e gender roles or gender identity. Most cultures use a gender binary, having two genders boys/men and girls/women those who exist outside these groups fall under the umbrella term non-binary or genderqueer.

1. Genderqueer: This is if their gender identity is neither male nor female, is between or beyond genders, or is some combination of genders. This identity is often related to or in reaction to the social construction of gender, gender stereotypes and the gender binary system


2. Agender: a person without a gender. An agender individual’s body does not necessarily correspond with their lack of gender identity. Often they are not concerned with their physical sex, but may seek to look androgynous. An androgyne is a person who identifies and/or physically appears as neither man nor woman, this is not same with genderqueer but looks similar.




3. Cisgender: While many people do not clarify if they identify as cisgender, this means you feel your biological sex, or the one you were assigned at birth, matches your gender identity, or how you perceive yourself. It is a gender that is common among society, but should not be assumed.


4. Intersex: is the term used for a variety of medical conditions in which a person is born with chromosomes, genitalia, and/or secondary sexual characteristics that are inconsistent with the typical definition of a male or female body. Individuals are not always aware that they have this condition, but it is an identity that some choose to share.




5. Transgender (Trans Male or man, Trans Women or female, Trans Person): Transgender is an umbrella term for those individuals whose gender identity does not match with the one assigned for their physical sex. It includes, among others, transmen, transwomen, genderqueer people, crossdressers, and drag queens/kings. Generally, it refers to anyone whose behavior or identity falls outside of stereotypical expectations of gender.
