description: An individual's personal sense of being a man, woman, boy, girl, nonbinary, or something else. This represents an individual’s identity, ascertained by asking them what that identity is. This extension is a copy of the FHIR R5 [genderIdentity extension](http://hl7.org/fhir/2022Sep/extension-individual-genderidentity.html) and may be superseded by it in futures versions of FHIR R5-based US Core.
