Gender Terminology  |
About Gender Variance According to the Children's National Medical Center, gender-variant behavior refers to strong, persistent gender-typed behaviors and interests that fit outside of what we consider “normal” for a child’s assigned biological sex. Gender variance may be expressed in behaviors, choices in clothing, games, or playmates. Or it may be expressed in a verbalization of a wish to be of the other sex. For example, a girl may insist she is a boy or wish she was a boy. Or she may wish to have short hair and play football with the boys. Conversely, a boy may insist he is really a girl or wish he was a girl. He may like to wear dresses or pretend to be a princess. |
