The Authors intended to highlight the importance of gender identity in modern era. In
this regard, the Author rightly stated that there is a major distinction between sexual identity and
gender identity. However, the author has not intended to distinguish between the two concepts
rather she focused on the underlying issues faced by the LGBTQ community. According to the
perspective of the Author, a person possessing thoughts of same-sex is considered as a gay or
lesbian however, persons who are unable to identify their gender assigned to them during birth
