language and gender identity
Language and gender identity refer to the way in which language is used to express and shape one's identity or sense of belonging to a particular gender group. Communication patterns, word choice, and language structures can play a significant role in how individuals perceive themselves and are perceived by others in terms of their gender identity. Language can both reflect and reinforce societal norms and expectations related to gender, influencing how individuals express their masculinity, femininity, or non-binary identities.
