Definition: Refers to how an individual expresses their socially constructed gender. This may refer to how an individual dresses, their general appearance, the way they speak, and/or the way they carry themselves. Gender expression is not always correlated to an individuals' gender identity or gender role.  

In other words, it's the type of aspects of a person's behaviour, mannerisms, interests, and appearance that they give off regardless of their gender. The way a person would express themselves is usually between being more feminine or masculine.
