Gender expression is exactly what is sounds like it is: the way you express your gender identity. Are you a woman? Wonderful! Does that automatically mean you love dresses and adore cat eyeliner? Nope. There are many ways to express one's gender identity whether heteronormative or gender-non-conforming! Historically, gender expression has been commodified and culturalized, dividing the population into either lipstick-lovin-ladies or motorcycle-muscle-men.
But wait--you pick a gender identity, does that mean your gender expression must conform to that identity at all times??? Hell no! Your gender expression can manifest any way you want it to! It's all up to the individual. Today: femme. Tomorrow: genderfuck.
Remember that gender identity includes, but is not limited to, identities such as 'woman' and 'man,' what would be called cisgender. Genderqueer identities are numerous: there is genderfuck and femme and gender fluid and gender neutral and agender and transgender and many more. For more examples, just go to your facebook page and check out the updates gender identification options (not that this list is entirely inclusive, but it'll provide you with a decent basis!)

Get the Generic Derrick mug.Related Words
A phenomenon where a generation of humans makes the same crippling decisions as the generation before them. Examples include: 1) having kids, because your parents, aunts, uncles and most everyone else in your family had them, most likely at an early age, thus minimizing their chance to live a life they actually wanted and now are living a life to serve their offspring. And your parents are pressuring you for grandchildren, even though you are barely making ends meet for yourself, what with working full time and being a full-time student.
2) Not saving for a retirement, rainy day, etc. Instead, you spend your money on a new pair of shoes every month, clothes, Amazon, eBay, and thinking paying $2600 for a one bedroom apartment for the rest of your life is OK. When you find yourself unemployed and broke, you lame everyone but yourself.

Sean just can't stop having kids. 28 years old and already he has 4 kids with 3 different women. This generational curse is going to leave him just like his dad: living paycheck to paycheck, making just enough to get by, trying to feed a small army of his offspring.

Get the Gender non-conformist mug.Overrated rappers charactarized by little creativity, repetitive subjects matter, limited vocabulary, excess use of nonsensical similies, metaphors, and puns. The only reason they get away with it is because of incredibly high-level production that masks their limited skills. They're primarily seperated by location, and a couple have a higher pitched voice or faster flow, but really they're all the same rapper and easily interchangeable with others who possess the same limited skills.
