I don't entirely agree, because gender identity is known to be at least partially biological, e.g. there are correlations between transgenderism, skin elasticity, and hyper-flexibility.

just FYI, "transgenderism" is a word to avoid (at least if you don't want to be perceived as transphobic)

and yes, gender identity seems to be biological, and genetic.
