Before you start putting any labels on Rain Dove, there are a couple things you should know about the androgynous model. First of all, she isn't transgender. Sure, she may dress in stereotypically masculine clothes at times, but that doesn't change anything. "Gender doesn't exist in my book," she tells Allure. "I love the body I have. My state of being is just unique." As for pronouns, you can call Dove whatever you want. Just be sure that whether you say "he, she, them, or even it," you do so with respect and intent.

In this edition of our Dispelling Beauty Myths video series with StyleLikeU, the model breaks down the difference between gender and sex — something Dove, as well as most of us, formally learned in seventh grade. In case you forgot, sex is assigned at birth based on biology. Gender, on the other hand, "is a state of being," Dove explains. That includes mannerisms, wardrobe choices, the way you speak, and "the way that you hold yourself," she adds. However, there's one key point about gender that Dove would like to dispel: "That it's real."

In the video above, Rain Dove shares why she feels more comfortable in traditionally masculine clothing and how she learned the true meaning of gender firsthand in third grade.
