Glossary Term

Gender Identity

[ˈjendər īˈden(t)ədē]
  • (Gender Identity)

Noun.

One’s internal, deeply held sense of gender.

Some people identify completely with the gender they were assigned at birth (usually male or female), while others may identify with only a part of that gender, or not at all. Some people identify with another gender entirely.

Unlike gender expression, gender identity is not visible to others.
