This article is about the overall concept. For other uses of the term Gender, please see Gender (disambiguation).

For the general public gender is often understood as the dichotomous relationship between male and female but specialists expand the concept to include a number of other categories as well. This is because gender is shaped by more than the purely biological traits that determine an individual's sex: it also depends on factors of sexual orientation and social context.
