Gender identity means our sense of being male, female, neither, or a little bit of both. It�s different from sexual orientation, which is about who we�re attracted to sexually and romantically.
Gender identity comes from the inside out. That means that even though you might have female body parts�a vulva, vagina, and ovaries�you might not feel feminine. Most people do, but not everyone. Same goes for a guy who has a penis and testicles, but doesn�t feel masculine.
People who believe their gender�the feelings they have inside�are different from their body parts may identify themselves as transgender.
