Gender symbol

Gender symbols are little pictures that represent either male, female or non-binary gender identities. They are used to show what kind of gender someone identifies as, or what kind of gender a product or service is meant for. The most common male gender symbol looks like a circle with an arrow pointing upwards, while the most common female gender symbol looks like a circle with a cross underneath. The non-binary gender symbol is kinda like an equal sign with two lines instead of one. These symbols help people understand and respect different gender identities.
