This stereotype reveals how gender expression – how we “do” gender through our clothing, hair style, accouterments, and body movements – is the basis upon which not only our gender identities are perceived (e.g., as a man, woman, nonbinary person) but also our sexual orientation (e.g., as straight, gay, lesbian).
