Gender identity is an individual's personal sense of their own gender, which may not align with the sex assigned at birth. It can be a complex spectrum including identities like agender, bigender, and non-binary. Understanding and respecting gender pronouns like 'she/her', 'he/him', and 'they/them' is crucial for inclusivity. Educational resources from authors like Simone de Beauvoir and Judith Butler to Sarah McBride and Alex Gino offer insights into gender diversity.
