Question

what is gender identity?
○ one’s self - concept of being male, female, both, or neither
○ the way people communicate their gender within their culture
○ attitudes, feelings, and behaviors linked to a person’s biological sex
○ a person’s sexual and romantic attraction to people of the same sex, the opposite sex, or both sexes

Explanation:

To determine the correct definition of gender identity, we analyze each option:

• The first option ("one’s self - concept of being male, female, both, or neither") matches the definition of gender identity, which is a person's internal sense of their own gender.
• The second option ("the way people communicate their gender within their culture") refers to gender expression, not identity.
• The third option ("attitudes, feelings, and behaviors linked to a person’s biological sex") is about gender roles or sex - related behaviors, not identity.
• The fourth option ("a person’s sexual and romantic attraction to people of the same sex, the opposite sex, or both sexes") defines sexual orientation, not gender identity.

Answer:

A. one’s self - concept of being male, female, both, or neither
