Gender binary Gender binary The gender binary, also referred to as gender binarism (sometimes shortened to just binarism), is the classification of sex and gender into two distinct, opposite and disconnected forms of masculine and feminine. Gender binary is one general type of a gender system. Sometimes in this binary model, "sex", "gender" and "sexuality" are assumed by default to align. For example, when a male is born, gender binarism assumes the male will be masculine in appearance, character traits, and behavior, including having a heterosexual attraction to females. The term "gender binary" describes the system in which a society splits its
Skew binary number system into a skew binary number runs in time linear in the length of the number. Skew binary numbers find applications in skew binomial heaps, a variant of binomial heaps that support worst-case O(1) insertion, and in skew binary random access lists, a purely functional data structure. They also find use in bootstrapped skew binomial heaps, which have excellent asymptotic guarantees. If smoothsort is implemented using perfect binary trees (rather than the more common Leonardo trees), the heap is divided into trees which correspond to the digits of the skew binary representation of the heap size.
