What Gender Identity Really Means

Gender identity is an inner sense of beingmale, female, both, neither, or somewhere in between.
Its different from:

This is why LGBTQ+ relationships may include combinations like:

• Trans man + gay man
  
• Lesbian + non-binary partner
  
• Bisexual + trans woman
• Queer + queer

Every combination is valid. Every form of love is real.
