To understand the vastness of gender self-definitions, one needs to detach oneself from the influence of the body on one’s perception of gender, as every gender identity – as well as every gendered body, for that matter – is unique. Gender identity is formed via an individual biopsychosocial developmental process that involves countless variables. Our diverse cultures are currently developing (or re-discovering) – with greater or lesser degrees of commitment – the idea that gender identity goes far beyond sexual organs. This realization calls for a rethinking of all medical disciplines that deal with the body and gender. One of these fields is gynecology, which has a prominent responsibility in this reassessment, particularly in its function as the medical provider of gender confirmation procedures. With gender diversity now being increasingly recognized, the future responsibilities of gynecology will go beyond the traditional concepts of femininity or masculinity.
