Although traditional understandings of gender traditionally created rigid social roles and expectations, it is important to recognize that people should have the freedom to express their gender in whatever way makes them most comfortable. By creating an inclusive, supportive, and respectful environment, we are able to show respect and support for people who do not fit into traditional gender roles and expectations.

At the same time, it is important to recognize that using gender terms is not just about catering to those people who do not fit into traditional gender roles, but also about recognizing the wide spectrum of gender identities and expressions that exist, and creating an environment where everyone is free to express themselves, regardless of their gender identity or expression. Doing so creates communities that are more accepting and supportive, and allows everyone to feel respected and included.
