Abstract

Gender identity refers to an individual's experience or identity in relation to gender. Transgender, transsexual, and gender variant individuals (often considered under the umbrella term of transgender or trans*) have gender identities that are not congruent with the gender assigned to them at birth. Trans identity and experiences are framed with regard to medical perspectives, social and legal perspectives, and community perspectives.
