Description
Socially-determined rules or standards for gendered behaviors. Some LGBTQ+ people identify with gender roles that exist outside of the gender binary (e.g., butches, femmes, twinks, bears). Use the term "Gender role stereotypes" to describe widely held but oversimplified or offensive ideas regarding gender roles.
