Gender Identity: Nature or Nurture (biological)

[Pinkmani]

The term "gender identity," distinct from the term "sexual orientation," refers to a person's innate, deeply felt psychological identification as male or female, which may or may not correspond to the person's body or designated sex at birth (meaning what sex was originally listed on a person's birth certificate).

Anyways, what do y'all think?


Nature: One's gender identity is determined at birth
Nurture: Environmental, non-biological factors determine's a gender identity

I said nature. From what little I've read, it seems that the cause of identity issues is related to the way the body (particularly the brain) is constructed. I could be completely wrong, but this is my impression.

You can't separate them. It is the result of a combination of both.
