Gender identity

Gender identity is one of the five main components of Sexual Identity. People identify with one gender or another. We feel like a man or a woman, like a girl or a boy, and as a general rule, from very early, each person knows what sex they feel, and what is each sex. Overcoming the binary sexual model, we can use new categories that better define reality, such as bigender, demigender, agender, gender fluid, and third sex. On the other hand, the correlation between gender identity and biological sex arises the classification of people as transgender or cisgender.
