Glossary term: Gender identity


Gender identity is a person’s sense of their gender, including whether they identify as a cisgender or transgender man, woman, Two Spirit, non-binary or otherwise. For some people, gender identity is fixed, meaning it stays the same all the time. For others, it is fluid and can change. Gender identity includes what pronouns a person uses, such as he, she or they.
