Same Situation, Far Apart: Gender Identity Around the world, clothing, behaviour, and appearance are used to express gender identity; however, the specific ways in which gender identity is expressed vary from place to place. For instance, these girls from Guelph, Ontario, (left) have uncovered heads, unlike the girls from Indonesia (right) whose heads are covered. However, the ways that girls everywhere laugh together and hold each other may be universal.
