Question

How is gender identity maintained in our society ?

Answer 1

Answer:

Gender identity is the personal sense of one's own gender. Gender identity can correlate with assigned sex at birth or can differ from it. All societies have a set of gender categories that can serve as the basis of the formation of a person's social identity in relation to other members of society.

Answer 2

The answer is as follows:

• Gender identity is maintained in society by the stereotypical roles assigned to an individual by society.

• A person who is biologically male is molded into the male stereotypes and nurtured to become a masculine man.

• Similarly, a person who is biologically female is molded into the female stereotypes to become a feminine woman.

• Diversion from the defined path of man and woman is considered to be anti-social and is thus rejected by society.
