Gender identity refers to a person’s sense of themselves as a man, woman, both, neither etc., which may or may not be the same as the gender they were assigned at birth. People can have unique and personal journeys as they explore and come to understand their gender identity (whether they are trans/gender diverse including non-binary, agender, questioning and/or cisgender).
Sometimes, technology can play a role in this journey; some people intentionally use certain platforms to help them develop and/or express their gender identity (for example, finding online communities and resources, blogging etc.); exploration and reflection of gender identity can also happen as a result of using technology (for example, reading other people’s accounts online, playing a game as another character etc.). If you consider yourself to have experience in thinking about your own identity, would love to hear your thoughts!
