Order the following concepts related to gender performance from the most fundamental understanding of gender identity to the application in societal contexts.

To understand gender performance and identity, we start with the concept of gender identity, which is how individuals perceive themselves and what they call themselves in terms of gender. This often aligns with biological sex, but not always, as some people identify as a different gender from the one assigned at birth. Next, we look at gender expression, which is how people show their gender identity through behavior, clothing, and mannerisms. Finally, we consider societal contexts, where these concepts play out in real life, affecting how individuals are treated based on their gender identity and performance. For example, a person who identifies as a woman may choose to wear traditionally feminine clothes and act in ways society expects, but they might still face challenges or discrimination based on their choices.
