These resources will provide you with basic information about gender identity. Be aware that these are extremely introductory materials; there is a great deal more depth and complexity of information about gender than is represented here.

Note that while the materials in this section are all free to access online, they are not openly licensed and thus are not OER. If you want to incorporate the contents into OER of your own, you can quote and cite or link out to them as you would any materials protected by copyright, but you cannot do the sort of remixing and adapting permitted by some Creative Commons licenses.
