People have been expected to adopt a gender that matches the gender ascribed to them at birth and maintain that gender until death. For many Americans in the twenty-first century, traditional definitions of masculinity and femininity do not reflect their experiences. “As a result, gender identity has become a subject of debate, with some people considering it inseparable from biological sex and others asserting that a person's gender identity is not so simply defined”. Individuals whose gender identity remains consistent with the gender assigned to them at birth are considered cisgender, while people who identify with a gender other than the one assigned to them at birth are considered transgender”. Gender expression is how a person superficially shows their gender identity. It includes physical expressions such as person's clothing, hairstyle, makeup, and social expressions such as name and pronoun choice.
