"Gender identity gives primacy to one’s subjective feeling of gender or masculinity/femininity. It posits that you can either identify as one or the other “sex” or as neither or a blend of the 2 and come up with your own. This philosophy is based on the idea that gender is socially constructed and that identifying with one’s biological sex as gender is an antiquated idea and “wrong” thinking."
https://www.parliament.scot/bills-and-laws/bills/gender-recognition-reform-scotland-bill:
The Bill changes the process to get a gender recognition certificate (GRC). A GRC is a certificate that legally recognises that a person’s gender is not the gender that they were assigned at birth, but is their “acquired gender”.
