Content: How someone chooses to present themselves within their culture as either masculine or feminine is gender expression. A person can either express their gender in a way that conforms with societal norms (its gender roles) or goes against those norms. How gender is expressed, and what gender roles exist as a result, varies from place to place. A woman wearing makeup and a skirt in the U.S. expresses femininity within American culture. However, a man wearing the same makeup and skirt in the U.S. is said to be cross-dressing; he is still a man, but he is expressing what is typically thought of as effeminate within American culture. Many cultures often reinforce ideas about what the majority consider to be "appropriate" gender expressions, and usually ideas about how the masculine and feminine should be seen as separate (see gender binary ). Finally, sexual orientation refers to the romantic or sexual feelings a person has toward another. Heterosexuality, or attraction to the opposite sex or gender, and homosexuality, attraction to the same sex or gender, are some of the most widely recognized forms of sexuality, though there is also bisexuality, asexuality, and pansexuality. Many studies have found human sexuality, particularly in women, is on a spectrum and may even be fluid, depending on the situation. [
