Morphology
The meaning is compositionally built from 'gender' (a category of social/biological sex) and 'identity' (a person's sense of self), so 'gender identity' straightforwardly means a person's sense of their own gender. This noun+noun modifier pattern is common across languages, making the concept predictable to a B1 learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
Gender identity puts together gender (the idea of being a man, a woman, or something else) and identity ('how someone sees themselves'). So the phrase means 'a person's inner feeling about their own gender', which may or may not match the body they were born with.
