An '''identity''' is how a person thinks of [[pronouns#they|themself]], and what words they use to label themself. This includes identities in and related to the LGBTQIA+ community. Many identities in this community have their own [[flags|pride flags]], which use colour symbolism to tell about that identity.
An '''identity''' is how a person thinks of [[pronouns#they|themself]], and what words they use to label themself. This includes identities in and related to the [[MOGII]] (marginalized [[sexual orientation|orientations]], [[gender identity|gender identities]], and [[intersex]]) spectrum. Many identities on the MOGII spectrum have their own [[flags|pride flags]], which use colour symbolism to tell about that identity.

Many [[ethnicity and culture|ethnic and cultural groups]] recognize gender identities outside of the Western female/male [[gender binary]], which anthropologists call "third gender". Some of these represent binary transgender identities, or [[cisgender]] lesbian/gay or [[gender non-conforming]] identities, but some are also transgender nonbinary gender identities. See [[gender-variant identities worldwide]] for a list, and more information about the problems involved in imposing outsiders' labels on these identities.
