Morphology
The phrase 'gender identities' is fully compositional: 'gender' sets the domain and 'identities' denotes the ways people define or express themselves, so a learner who knows both words can infer it refers to different ways of identifying by gender. This noun + noun construction is regular and cross-linguistically common (e.g., Spanish 'identidades de género'), making the meaning transparent to a B1 learner.
Etymology
Gender identities brings together gender, meaning ideas about being male, female, or other, and identities, meaning how someone sees or shows themselves. It grew as people began naming different ways to feel and express gender, so today Gender identities means the many ways people understand and show 'who they are' about gender.
