gender 

gender refers to an individual's personal and social identity 

as a man, woman or non-binary person 

It is widely known that gender is assigned at birth and created through the social circles and interactions made throughout our lives. 

Cisgender is someone whose gender identity corresponds to their sex assigned at birth.

Transgender is an umbrella term used to describe an individual who does not conform to or follow social understandings of their sexuality:

Trans Man - A transgender person who was assigned female at birth but whose gender identity is that of a man. Trans men should be treated as men and male pronouns should be used.

Trans Woman - A transgender person who was assigned male at birth but whose gender identity is that of a woman. Trans women should be treated as women and female pronouns should be used.

Non-Binary Gender - Gender identities that are not exclusively male or female are identities which are outside of the gender binary. People can be both male and female, neither or their gender may be more fluid (i.e. unfixed and changeable over the course of time).
