psychological gender theory

Psychological gender theory explores how individuals experience and understand their gender identity, which encompasses personal feelings, thoughts, and behaviors related to being male, female, or another gender. It emphasizes that gender is influenced by a complex interplay of biological, psychological, social, and cultural factors, and that each person’s gender identity may differ from their assigned sex at birth. The theory recognizes that gender identity is deeply rooted in an individual’s internal sense of self and can vary widely, highlighting the importance of respecting personal gender experiences and expressions.
