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.
Person A: You're a girl, right?
Person B: No, actually my gender is male.
Person A: Ah, my mistake. Sorry about that!
Person B: No, actually my gender is male.
Person A: Ah, my mistake. Sorry about that!

There are 2 genders, plus the lack of having one. Male, Female, and Non Binary/ Agender are the genders that most people identify with.

But although this was the original design of different terminations, yet in the progress of language, other words having no relation to one sex or the other, came to have genders assigned them by custom. Words expressing males are said to be of the masculine gender; those expressing females, of the feminine gender; and in some languages, words expressing things having no sex, are of the neuter or neither gender
