West and Zimmerman proposed that the two main aspects of “doing gender” are gender performance and accountability.  Hollander’s 2013 work focuses on accountability, where she argues that it has three parts: “orientation", "assessment", and "enforcement”.  Hollander describes orientation as self-accountability to biological sex.  Assessment is explained as the process of measuring an individual’s way of doing gender in comparison to their sex.  Hollander states that assessment holds people accountable to themselves and others.  The third part is enforcement, which is when someone is actively held accountable to societal norms.
