Abstract
As sexual identity is an ongoing psychodynamic process established mainly before adolescence in human psychological development. Before it is well established "firmly", there may be some confusing stages. One may have no clear ideation of one's sexual or gender indentity. It is called "Gender Identity Turmoil". It may change during that period of lifetime or after psychiatric therapy, usually in adolescence. And that is a change of leading one to a public acceptable role. After adolescence, it is a more difficult to change along with time.
