What does Gender Identity refer to?

Assigned sex at birth
Internal experience of gender
Family ties
Occupational roles

The correct answer is: Internal experience of gender

Gender identity refers to an individual's internal understanding and experience of their own gender. It encompasses how a person perceives themselves and what they call themselves in terms of gender, which may or may not align with the sex they were assigned at birth. This internal experience can include feelings, thoughts, and personal identification, manifesting as male, female, a blend of both, neither, or other identities along the gender spectrum. The other options focus on different concepts. Assigned sex at birth relates to biological and physical characteristics determined at the time of birth. Family ties pertain to the relationships and connections one has with family members, while occupational roles refer to the positions or jobs individuals hold, which do not inherently define an individual’s gender identity. Thus, gender identity is distinctly about personal understanding and expression of one’s gender, making it a crucial aspect of a person's overall identity.
