	Gender - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Likewise, a wide variety of phenomena may have gendered characteristics ascribed to them, either by analogy to male and female bodies, such as with the gender of connectors and fasteners, or due to social norms, such as interpreting the color pink as feminine and blue as masculine.
		In social sciences, the word "gender" is sometimes used in contrast to biological sex, to emphasise a social, cultural or psychological dimension.
		Gender assignment, when there are any indications that genital sex might not be decisive in a particular case, is normally not defined by any single definition, but by a combination of conditions, include chromoses and gonads.

	How Being a Transgender Person Causes Stress (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Social subjugation of persons transgressing gender expression norms often leads to conflict between the instinctive desire to express one's gender identity and the desire to avoid the pain of social subjugation.
		Most people's gender identity (i.e., the personal experience of one's gender as male or female) is congruent with their gender expression.
		Transgression of the culture's gender expression norms produces social disharmony, and social disharmony produces stress for the gender transgressor, the people in the gender transgressor's life, and for the institutions within the culture.

		Gender expression is a continuum, with feminine at one end and masculine at the other.
		In between are gender expressions that are androgynous (neither masculine nor feminine) and those that combine elements of the two (sometimes called gender bending).
		Gender expression can vary for an individual from day to day or in different situations, but most people can identify a range on the scale where they feel the most comfortable.

	Women's Web --- Understanding gender, gender identity, and gender expression
		"Gender expression", on the other hand, refers to the collection of external characteristics and behaviors — that is, dress, mannerisms, speech patterns — traits that are socially defined as either masculine or feminine.
		Used as an umbrella term to describe a broad range of gender identities and experiences, "transgender", unlike "transsexual", is not a medical or psychiatric diagnosis.
		Similarly, because their gender expression crosses constraining cultural boundaries and definitions or because they acknowledge that having a same-sex orientation is in itself a challenge, many gay, lesbian, and bisexual people also identify as transgender.

	Anger and Gender Expression
		In a social context, anger is defined as a reaction according to specific gender stereotypes.
		Hence, gender is a powerful influence on the way society understands and interprets anger.
		The point is to find a non-violent way to express the anger so as not to perpetuate the expression of violence, as in kicking the walls or destroying property, and to have some time to think things through before saying something that can be more hurtful and harmful to the relationship in question.

	Crossdressing, gender dysphoria, Gender Identity Disorder, transsexulism
		Given gender identity permanency and its obvious importance in the ordering of one's life, it is reasonable to consider gender identity as essential existential knowledge, knowledge that can not be unknown or separated out from the whole without radically redefining the whole.
		Although gender dysphoric males are generally no better or worse as fathers then the next man, they soon come to realize that what they had hoped would be an answer has instead complicated their gender issues enormously.
		The relative freedom of gender expression that women enjoy throughout their lives continues, and there is even less pressure on G2 females to be attractive or feminine now than when they were younger.

		Children learn about gender very early in their development: most two-year olds know whether they are boys or girls, and by age three, they begin to apply the gender labels of “he” and she.” By four or five, they have learned many social stereotypes associated with gender roles.
		A new study conducted by the investigators studied a sample of 55 transgender youth to examine their gender expression developmental milestones, gender nonconforming activities, and parents' responses to them as children.
		Initial analyses indicate children who are more gender nonconforming disclose their transgender identity or parents ask them if they are gay or transgender at younger ages than those who are not as gender atypical.

	Myth, Stereotype, and Cross-Gender Identity
		In adolescents and adults, the disturbance is manifested by symptoms such as preoccupation with getting rid of primary and secondary sex characteristics (e.g., request for hormones, surgery, or other procedures to physically alter sexual characteristics to simulate the other sex) or belief that he or she was born the wrong sex.
		This and the common association of sexual masochism with cross-gender expression [Zucker95] exaggerate the significance of sex in gender and trivialize the role of social expression.
		We believe that there is ample evidence to review the policy of gender pathologization with a reasoned dialogue inclusive of the gender community and socio-cultural researchers and open to the possibility that difference is not disease, nonconformity is not pathology, and uniqueness is not illness.

	Dr. Carl Bushong : Transsexual Transgender Care : What is Gender
		We then began to see one's gender as a continuum, a blending, analogous to a "gray scale." But, our distribution of gender was still bimodal, that is, most people are lumped at the two ends (see graphic) with only a minority in the middle.
		Transgendered folk tend to be born with a female brain gender, but shortly after eight years of age begin to forsake it for a makeshift male brain type of response.
		One's gender identity classification (crossdresser, transgenderist, transsexual, etc.) is due to each individual's adjustment to first the conflict between one's natural gender and their need to be "normal," and later to the conflict between one's natural gender and their "male persona." There is no objective "best solution," only a subjective, personal best solution.
