Gender and identity are linked?

*** GENDER AND IDENTITY QUOTE ***

“Gender is for all of us the bottom line of our sense of identity: from a very early age, the question of who we are and what we can and should do depends on whether we have learned in early childhood that we are a girl or a boy,” says Robin Lakoff, professor emerita of linguistics at UC Berkeley.

This quote is referencing how gender is the foundation of our identity, while also alluding to social expectations of how we should act (hint: this is very useful for IN-DEPTH elaboration in your essays!).
