Jamie was born with an XY chromosome type, and he has the external genitalia of a male. However, for the better part of his life, he has felt like he was supposed to be a woman.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Jamie's strong identification with femininity and desire to be a woman suggests that her gender identity does not align with the sex assigned to her at birth (male). Gender identity refers to one's sense of self as male, female, or non-binary, regardless of one's biological sex. Therefore, the best choice is B: gender identity. The other choices are not relevant to Jamie's situation - A and D are incorrect because they are not specific enough, and C (sex) refers to biological characteristics rather than psychological identity.
