What is Gender Identity?

Gender Identity is the personal sense of an individual’s gender, which may be different from the sex assigned at birth. It reflects how someone personally experiences and expresses their gender, which can be male, female, both, neither, or somewhere along a gender spectrum. Gender identity is deeply felt and may not necessarily align with societal expectations or biological characteristics. It is a core aspect of an individual’s identity and may or may not be expressed in ways that match traditional gender norms.
