'''{{w|Gender}}''' is a system that associates {{w|sex}} and {{w|Gender expression|modes of expression}} with the {{w|Gender role|social roles and norms}} of men, women, and {{w|Third gender|other categories}}. Many people consider themselves to have a {{w|gender identity}}, an internal sense of their gender, which may or may not correspond to their {{w|assigned sex}}.

==Translation==
As with any word, there are many possible translations of gender into Toki Pona. It is preferred to [[mi ken ala toki pona e ijo la mi sona ala e ijo|think critically about what gender personally means

▲'''{{tp|meli}}''' describes girls, women, and {{w|femininity}}; '''{{tp|mije}}''' describes boys, men, and {{w|masculinity}}; and '''{{tp|tonsi}}''' describes {{w|nonbinary gender}} and people. As these concepts overlap, the words can [[modify]] each other. For example, a masculine non-binary person may self-describe as {{tp|tonsi mije}} or {{tp|mije tonsi}}.
