Gender identity is the sense of knowing to which sex one belongs, that is, the awareness 'I am a male' or 'I am a female'.
The term 'gender identity' was arrived at in joint discussions of a research project on this and allied problems by Greenson and Stoller during which many of the formulations in this paper were worked out.
This case is reported in more detail elsewhere (Stoller et al., 1960), (Schwabe et al., 1962).
