ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Gender identity

Gender identity is a way of thinking about and expressing yourself. It’s about how you feel inside and how you show yourself to the world. Everyone has a gender identity that is unique to them. Some people feel like they fit into one of two traditional gender categories: male or female. Other people feel like they are neither, both, or something else entirely. No matter what gender identity you have, it’s important to feel comfortable with who you are and to be respected for it.
