Gender Identity

Gender identity refers to a person's internal and individual experience as male, female or neither. For most people, the gender with which they identify matches up with the sex they were assigned at birth. Other people may identify with a gender that doesn't match their biological sex. Gender identity may determine how a person chooses to express themselves or behave in society. Overall, gender is a very personal experience and a very fascinating area to explore. Here we'll look at topics about and related to gender identity.
