GO Wales: Gender Alignment
The Employer’s Perspective
Definitions
Gender
Gender is expressed in terms of masculinity and femininity. It is largely culturally determined and affects how people perceive themselves and how they expect others to behave.
Gender Identity
Gender identity is the gender to which one feels one belongs. It is the person’s internal perception and experience of their gender. Some people have a gender identity that is neither exactly male nor exactly female.
Gender Role
Gender role is the way that a person lives and interacts with others, based on their gender identity. It is worth noting that, for legal purposes, people can only be male or female.
