Gender

The identity of a specific person. There are cisgender people, those who were assigned male or female at birth and identify with the sex assigned to them. Cisgender males us the pronouns He/Him, whereas cisgender females use the pronouns She/Her. ie: An afab person who identifies as female. There are also those who fall under the transgender umbrella, which is nonbinary, MtF, FtM, bigender, agender, genderfluid, etc. Transgender people don't identify with the sex given to them at birth. ie: A amab person who identifies as female. Transgender may use She/Her, He/Him, They/Them, or multiple pronouns.

gender spectrum

The gender spectrum is a diagram of gender identity and is more inclusive than the gender scale. As opposed to having only two endpoints, male and female, and then some gray area in the middle, the gender spectrum includes people who are genderfluid, androgynous, more masculine, more feminine, trans, etc.; It is represented as as a sort of circle split into thirds by three arrows. One arrow, labeled x, represents a male gender identity. The second represents female gender identity, labeled as y. The third, labeled as z, represents a neutral or androgynous identity. Through this, the gender spectrum allows for those with non-binary identities to be recognized.

gender

Gender can mean two different things.

1. Biological gender. This refers to your biological sex, such as female or male. Some are intersex, which means that their bodies can't quite be completely categorized as male or female.

2. Gender identity. This refers to one's own self image regarding gender based on the social structures of society and sometimes body dysphoria (the state of being significantly uncomfortable with your biological gender, not to be confused with body dysmorphia). Gender identity can be male, female, bigender, non-binary, et cetera. For some people their gender identity can align with their biological gender at birth, and for some others it might not. The view on gender varies between different societies and cultures.
"Tomatoes are actually fruits biologically, but we call them vegetables anyway because they fit more like it. It is kind of similar to how we use gender identity. If it doesn't feel like it fits, we'll call it by something more fitting."

"We found out the baby's gender today. Guess what? It'll be a beautiful baby boy!"

"I revealed my gender to my mom a couple of days ago. I explained how I felt and she hugged me tightly afterwards. It feels like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders!"

"The gym teacher split us into two different groups after our gender: boys were to stand to the left, and girls to the right."
