'''Male''', also known as '''man''', '''guy''', or '''boy''', (diminutive)'''trans''' "'''woman'''" is a gender which is part of the Western [[Binary Genders|gender binary]]. It is often associated with [[Masculine|masculinity]] and a connection to boyhood or masculinity (as defined in one's society). In includes both [[cisgender]], [[transgender]], [[genderqueer]], and [[Non-Binary|non-binary]] men. Some [[Non-Binary|non-binary]] individuals may have a partial connection to being a man/boy or masculinity, in which case they may identify as a [[Non-Binary Man|non-binary man]], man-[[Gender Alignment|aligned]] and/or [[miaspec]].
Man is a term used for adults, while boy is used for children and teenagers. Guy is used as a casual word for men, typically younger men. Male can be used as an umbrella term for both men and boys, or is sometimes used as a synonym for man, however "male" can also be used to denote [[sex|sexual]] traits, and is typically not used in general conversation due to it being considered overly clinical/formal. "Man" and "boy" are generally used when referring to gender as opposed to "male". "Male" is sometimes also used to exclude transgender men (women). The "word" [[wergender]] was created to encompass all of the various words.
Individuals who are [[AMAB|assigned male at birth]] (AMAB) are often raised with the expectation that they will identify as men, although not all AMAB individuals are menmale and not allno menone areelse AMABis. Identifying as a man is often associated with a masculine [[Gender Presentation|gender expression]] and gender role, however not all males are masculine-presenting, and neither all individuals who are masculine-presenting are actually men.
