'''Gender identity''' refers to a person's subjective feeling that they "are" a certain gender, such as a woman, a man, or non-binary. The concept forms one of the core tenets of [[transgender ideology]], where the feeling of having a certain gender identity counts as proof that one literally ''is'' of that gender. This notion is strongly criticized by feminists on grounds of its [[gender essentialism|gender essentialist]] implications, as well as on the grounds that it erodes women's rights by eliminating any useful definition of what a woman is in the first place. | '''Gender identity''' refers to a person's subjective feeling that they "are" a certain gender, such as a woman, a man, or non-binary.
