Top definition
One’s internal sense of being male, female, neither of these, both, or other gender(s). This is separate from the sex one was assigned at birth, and can be different from one’s gender expression.
Person 1: “There are only 2 genders - penis & vagina!”
Person 2: “Actually, there are a lot more than two, and gender identity isn’t determined by physical attributes like genitals. *Tries to explain how they’re incorrect*”
Person 1: “There are still only 2 genders!”
Person 2: *Facepalms*

May 15 Word of the Day
A few weeks ago, no one had “cheugy” in their vocabulary . Now everything is saturated with the word. It’s in our heads. It’s in our homes. Everyone is asking: “Am I cheugy? Am I a basic ass bitch? Am I GUILTY of being cheugy?”

The proliferation of cheugy in the mainstream discourse can only be attributed to one source: mental terror. It’s an orchestrated psychological trap to make you question your tastes and interests in the eyes of others.

You are not a cheug. YOU’RE PERFECT!!!!

It is very suspicious that the cheugy mascot is a Minion, a literal cyclops, a deformed
yellow panopticon in overalls ... do not let the all-seeing eye to control you. Be vigilant. Resist cheugy psyops.
Becca is another victim of cheugy psyops. I saw the garbage truck take all her Ugg boots yesterday. She even removed “I LOVE The Office!” from all her dating profiles. She’s unrecognizable.

The individual identification of a person's gender, as defined by that person. Usually used in reference to transgender, genderqueer, or transsexual people -- people whose gender identities differ from their physical sex.
Jack is cisgender, and his gender identity is male. He's got a penis and XY chromosomes.

Jay has been really confused about her gender identity lately; she thinks maybe she's an androgyne, but she's not certain.

Jane is a transsexual woman, so her gender identity is pretty solidly feminine.

The schizophrenic belief that you are anything but a man, woman, or hermaphrodite; despite being a man or woman on a biological and physical level.

Usually proclaimed by 3rd-wave feminists in order to get more attention or make themselves feel special. Be especially careful of saying "sir" or "ma'am" in California, New York, or Illinois. You might get arrested or fined.
"Gender identity includes 63 official genders that you can switch between every day."

4
A persons unchanging identity based on the gender of their brain.

Usually this will match a persons sex but in some cases when the brain doesn't get enough hormones at birth the brain can develop to be opposite to a person's sex or be genderless and the person will be born transgender.
A lot of people mix up gender expression, and gender roles with gender identity.
