What exactly is gender identity? From my perspective, it appears that people determine their gender identity based on whether their thoughts and/or behaviors correlate to what society considers "masculine" or "feminine". The concept of gender identity seems to only reinforce the notion that males inherrently think/behave in certain ways and that women inherrently think/behave in certain ways. I think much of this is conditioning. Some of it is hormone related, but it's pretty obvious by now that hormone levels vary quite a lot within any given gender. So I ask you, what exactly is "gender identity" and why should I acknowledge the concept?

Whether or not you have an ETLE.
I mean, that's exactly what it is, and you don't HAVE TO acknowledge it if you don't want to, but usually there's less questions if you do.

Anon, i'm mtf, and you are right in general, and we don't need to know about gender-non-binary-shit, because there is no feeling inside like a girl or a boy.
Problem is that there are a lot of assholes, who are stupid and they think that society needs some kind of gender revolution. Moreover they like parasites, they use some transsexual privileges (on political/juridical levels ours issues are serious). And this non-binary people have actually a lot of influence on our society.

It's what you want your sex should be, which sex you'd be more comfortable with.
Like a girl will want to look feminine, and would be devastated if she started to get appearance masculine/male features.

>what exactly is "gender identity"
want to add - it is very inaccurately term, people use it mostly in spheres which have nothing to do with science. I am not sure that respected specialists in psychology/sociology/... use it actually. Meaning really depends from context - it can include biological sex can be completely separate.
