The Huffington Post/by Dr. Joe Wenke   08/13/2015

"AIDAN KEY: Biological sex is the gender you are assigned at birth. The doctor takes a quick look, says, boy, girl or -- hmm -- not sure. Gender identity is simply a person's innate sense of their own gender.
JOE WENKE: Perhaps another way of putting it is that gender identity is how we experience and communicate gender. For most people, gender identity is aligned with biological gender. But for some folks there's a variance. Those people are transgender, i.e., some are assigned male sex at birth but identify as women, and some are assigned female sex at birth and identify as men."
