An individual’s internal, or personal sense, of being a man/boy, woman/girl, neither, or both. For many people, the gender associated with their assigned sex at birth does not match their internal sense of gender (e.g., transgender).
Note: Definitions related to identity terms vary across communities, cultures, regions, may change across time, and are dependent on an individual’s interpretation and experiences. Not all patients/victims may agree with or identify with the current definitions in this glossary.
