Some people experience gender identity as an internal sense of gender that can differ from biological sex. For transgender people, gender identity differs in varying degrees from their sex recorded at birth.
The emotional well-being of children is just as important as their physical health. Confusion or struggle with gender identity can interfere with their daily life and affect their mental health.
