Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Erin's social transition from male to female and her receipt of cross-sex hormone treatments suggest that she identifies as transgender. Bisexuality refers to an individual's sexual orientation and is not related to gender identity. Intersex refers to individuals who are born with physical sex characteristics that do not fit typical male or female patterns. Interdependence refers to a state of relying on or being mutually dependent on each other, and is not related to gender identity or sexuality.
