Do you believe your gender can be affected by trauma? As in, can trauma change the gender you identify as?

Given that physical trauma can hugely change personality (Phineas Gage), I'd be surprised if there wasn't some sort of trauma that could change gender identity.

If gender is a matter of social roles, I’m sure lots of people want to switch roles post-trauma.

Mistakenly voted no before reading the clarification, so count yes two votes ahead.

You can’t identify as something your not born with , if you got a vagina your a female regardless , if you got a dick then your a male period . I do not get this generation and I’m 20 years old lol

Well gender identity is basically what we used to call a personality, so yes.

I believe that’s a question for science, but I haven’t seen anything to indicate that.

Yes with the way gender is defined traditionally as a social role rather than a sex

"Gender"? No.
"Gender identify as"? It's a possibility, depending how "trauma" is defined.

I think so. I went through a period of questioning my gender identity a few years ago and noticed those feelings would intensify after events that made me feel vulnerable in virtue of being seen as a woman (e.g. getting threateningly hit on in public)
