Gender identity (GI) is the cognitive, perception and perspective of a person on his/her own sexual matters. Along with another psychiatric self-stigmatization (SS), caused low self-esteem, anxiety, and depression, suicidal ideation, tendencies among youth. The prevalence of GI and SS was relatively low and was associated.
