Gender identities refer to the personal sense of one's own gender, which may or may not align with the sex assigned at birth. People may identify as male, female, or non-binary, among other identities. Non-binary individuals may feel that their gender falls outside the traditional categories of male and female. Understanding gender identities is important for recognizing the diversity of human experiences. Some individuals may also identify as genderqueer, genderfluid, or agender, reflecting a range of gender expressions and experiences. Respecting each person's self-identified gender is essential for fostering inclusivity and understanding in society.
