Gender Identity

Gender identity refers to an individual's deeply felt sense of being male, female, or something else, which may not necessarily align with their biological sex assigned at birth. It encompasses personal understanding and expression of gender, influenced by a variety of factors including culture, social norms, and individual experiences. People may identify as cisgender, where their gender identity matches their biological sex, or transgender, where it does not. Gender identity is a personal and subjective experience, and it can vary widely among individuals, reflecting the complex nature of human identity.
