gender presentation
How you read
Gender presentation is how a person outwardly expresses gender through appearance, clothing, grooming, mannerisms, and behavior.
Someone's presentation may be masculine, feminine, androgynous, or fluid between these.
Presentation can align with or differ from a person's gender identity or assigned sex: Her gender presentation is quite masculine, but she identifies as a woman.
