Gender Variance Gender variance, or gender nonconformity, is behavior or gender expression by an individual that does not match masculine or feminine. Society has rules for us to dress and act but there is no right way for that. There is no specific gender, we can identify as we feel! BE YOU! DO NOT CONFORM TO THE NORMS OF SOCIETY! Pronouns These are the pronouns an individual wants to be addressed. It does not define a person’s sexuality but it defines how the person wants to be called for example he/him, she/her, they/them, it and so on. Transgender Transgender people have a gender identity or gender expression that differs from their assigned sex. Some transgender people identify as transsexual if they desire medical assistance to transition from one sex to another. Trans people are misgendered and misrepresented in many ways in today’s society. They are pushed aside even within the queer community. WE NEED TO SHOW SUPPORT TO OUT TRANS BROTHER AND SISTERS!
