'''Gender identity''' is the experience of one's own gender, regardless of physical characteristics ([[sex]]), intentional appearance and behavior ([[gender expression]]), or sexual orientation. Most people identify as the gender that they were [[Sex#gender assigned at birth|assigned at birth]], which is called being [[cisgender]]. [[Transgender]] people don't identify as the genders they were assigned at birth.

All societies and cultures have certain categories that people use to express their gender. In the ~~western~~ culture (i.e. Europe, America, Australia...) these categories are typically [[male]] and [[female]] ([[Binarism]]). There are, however, other societies that have more than two recognized gender identities.
