Gender nonconforming refers to people who do not follow other peoples ideas or stereotypes about how they should look or act based on the female or male sex they were assigned at birth. It is a term given to people who dont conform with the gender norms that are expected of them. Gender nonconformity means not conforming to the gender roles that society expects. It can refer to behavior, preferences, and roles that don’t conform to gender norms, as well as how someone looks and dresses. Gender nonconforming people can hold any gender identity, including transgender, nonbinary, genderqueer, or genderfluid. Being gender nonconforming doesn’t necessarily mean you’re transgender or nonbinary, although you could be both. Gender nonconforming is a facet of a person’s expression rather than an insight into their gender identity or sexuality. It is important to respect peoples gender identity and refer to them with the term they prefer.
