Understanding Gender Identity
In this video, you will explore the distinctions between gender identity, gender expression, and anatomical sex—concepts often wrongly conflated in mainstream culture. You’ll unpack societal assumptions that link masculinity with maleness and femininity with femaleness, and understand how these oversimplifications erase diverse identities, particularly trans and intersex experiences. The video guides you through foundational definitions, beginning with anatomical sex, discussing chromosomes, gonads, hormones, and how these biological traits are often misunderstood or overlooked. This is an invitation to think critically about identity and to break apart outdated narratives that limit authentic self-expression.
Who’s It For?
This video is ideal for anyone wanting to deepen their understanding of gender identity in personal or professional contexts. You’ll learn how gender identity, expression, and anatomical sex differ, and why conflating them is harmful. It will help you support trans, non-binary, and gender-diverse people with greater awareness and respect.
