    guidance, gender identities can be binary (man/woman), non-
    binary (genderqueer etc.) and ungendered (agender etc.).The
    meaning of any identity may differ from individual to individual.
    • Gender identity can change over time as words change and
    develop, and as an individual discovers more possibilities.
    History shows us that many societies have seen, and continue
    to see, gender as a spectrum.
    • Gender identity can correspond to, or differ from, the gender an
    individual is assigned at birth.

    • How we present our gender to the world.
    • Gender expression: how we
    communicate our gender through aspects
    of our expression such as clothing, hair,
    accessories and mannerisms. We cannot
    assume someone's gender identity from
    their gender expression.

    community perceive, interact with, and try
    to shape our gender.

    BRIEF HISTORY OF GENDER

    1. Ancient Societies and Gender Roles


    Mesopotamia, Egypt, and Greece: In ancient societies, gender roles were
    often clearly delineated, with men typically involved in public and political
    life and women largely confined to domestic roles.
    Indigenous Cultures: Many Indigenous cultures recognized gender as more
    fluid than binary. North American Indigenous societies often had roles for
    Two-Spirit individuals, who were seen as embodying both masculine and
    feminine qualities, and held special spiritual and societal roles.
    2. Middle Ages and Renaissance Europe
    Gender and Religion: During the Middle Ages in Europe, gender
    roles were heavily influenced by Christian doctrines that
    prescribed distinct, hierarchical roles for men and women. Men
    were typically associated with work and governance, while
    women were expected to manage the household.
    3. Colonialism and Global Perspectives
    Imposition of Binary Gender Norms: European colonial powers imposed their
    binary views of gender on colonized societies. Many Indigenous and non-European
    societies with fluid gender understandings, such as hijras in South Asia or māhū in
    Polynesia, faced suppression under colonial rule, leading to a loss of traditional
    gender diversity.
    Emergence of Racialized Gender Norms: Colonialism also established racialized
    gender norms, intertwining gender and race in ways that justified exploitation and
    subjugation. Stereotypes around “feminine” and “masculine” qualities were
    imposed upon colonized people to reinforce colonial hierarchies.
    4. Industrial Revolution: The Industrial Revolution
    reshaped gender roles, moving men’s work to factories
    and industrial settings while women's roles remained
    largely domestic. However, women of lower economic
    classes often worked in factories, challenging the notion
    that all women were confined to the home.
    5. 20th Century and Expanding
    Gender Identities
    World Wars and Gender Shifts:
    The world wars brought more LGBTQ+ Rights: The late 20th
    women into the workforce, century saw a surge in advocacy for
    temporarily disrupting traditional LGBTQ+ rights, including
    gender roles. Women took on jobs recognition of diverse gender
    traditionally held by men, identities beyond the binary, such
    challenging the notion of women’s as transgender, genderqueer, and
    work as solely domestic. non-binary identities. This era
    highlighted the importance of self-
    defined gender identity and
    expression.
    6. Contemporary Views on Gender
    Intersectionality: Modern gender discourse often
    incorporates intersectionality, a framework for understanding
    how factors like race, class, sexuality, and gender interact to
    shape individual experiences. This concept has been
    influential in third-wave feminism and the broader gender
    rights movement.
    How does culture influence
    gender roles?
    Gender and
