Since you’re a fan of the dictionary, I am certain you will appreciate the following:

> c: GENDER IDENTITY
American Heritage Dictionary[2]:
> b. One's identity as female or male or as neither entirely female nor entirely male.
O.E.D.[3]:
> b. The state of being male or female as expressed by social or cultural distinctions and differences, rather than biological ones
