The conformant flag.

Conformant describes an individual who falls into the expected societal ideals, expectations, or roles for some form of identification. One can be conformant in terms of gender, sex, gender expression, orientation, relationships, or other related forms of self-identification. The opposite of conformant is variant. Individuals can be variant in some areas and conformant in other areas. To specify certain subcommunities, terms like gender conformant, attraction conformant, pronoun conformant, etc. can be used. Conformant on it's own can also be used to refer to someone who is fully conformant in all aspects.
