Sexual identity is a straightforward, largely biological, process but gender identity is quite different. Gender identity refers to child adoption of either a typically masculin or typically feminine sex role. Although there are broad similarities in sex roles across many different societies it does not mean that there are biologically determined, As we see adults in general and parents in particular do in fact treat girls and boys quite different though this done unconsciously.
There are 2 approaches of the formation of gender identity. First psychoanalytical approach and the second social learning approach.
Sigmund Freud was a psychoanalytical who attempted to discover the unconscious motives that govern our behaviour. He believed our conscious experience to be only minute when compared with the unconscious which he viewed as an enormous storehouse of impulses, passions and normally inaccessible memories which effect our feelings and actions. Freud attempted to investigate the unconscious by method of free association. Freud believed certain experience affect adult life during childhood thru several psychosexual stages in different areas of body called erogenous zones. Here are the follows:- 1.The oral stage (birth to 2 years old) This stage infants get great pleasure from sucking and putting things in mouth.The ego not present yet and the infant not distinguish it own body from his mum. Freud belied if the baby doesn't satisfied during this stage will not progress to more matures stage. Freud believe babies those not satisfied would later be incapable of personal love for others. 2.Anal stage (2 to 3 years) During this stage children derive gratification from holding or expelling the faeces. …show more content…
Ego developed.Child can be fixated which can lead to emotional problem later.
3.Phallic stage (3 to 6years)

Gender comes from the Latin word genus, meaning kind or race. It is defined by one's own identification as male, female, or intersex; gender may also be based on legal status, social interactions, public persona, personal experiences, and psychologic setting.
Sex, from the Latin word sexus, is defined by the gonads, or potential gonads, either phenotypically or genotypically. It is generally assigned at birth by external genital appearance, due to the common assumption that this represents chromosomal or internal anatomic status. When an intersex condition is noted in a newborn, one sex is often chosen with the intention of simplifying social interactions and rearing. Each cultures approves the way male and female expected to behave. In our society many people belief that an unfortunate tendency for both sexes to view masculine activities as superior to feminine.The taboo against effeminate behaviour for boys to stronger than masculine behaviour for girls.A girl is allowed to be tomboy but boys will only be sissy if prepares to choose it.
