To your family? To your friends? To your employer?

Of course what I meant with 'gender identity' is 'gender preference'. Isn't this the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgendered section?

I think it depends on you. It may be important to disclose it to your family if you are close to them and usually open and honest. If you are going to include a partner in family holidays and events, then yes you will want to do that. But if you aren't, and you are not close to your family, then its really none of their business.
Same thing with your employer. If you work in a hostile environment, then you may not want to, but if you are working for a diversity friendly corporation and you want to keep a picture up of your partner or current b/f, then maybe.
Unless you want your friends talking about you behind your back or fixing you up with women you aren't ever going to be interested in, then you want to tell your friends. I don't know how they can be friends if you hide something so important from them, but that's for you to decide.
I am out with friends, at work and with my immediate family (my daughters), my extended family (parents and siblings) are on a don't ask, don't tell arrangement.

I try to keep a close relationship with many of my family members, so I feel that it's important for me to disclose to them something that's a major part of my life.
As for friends, I have a few that I'm really close to and told them for the same reason I told my family. Some of the others I told because I was going to be rooming with them and thought that it would only be fair for me to let them know.
As for work, I just made the switch there, so I guess it was kinda important that I told them beforehand instead of surprising them.

Generally speaking, men and women may differ on physical capabilities, but they do not differ on mental strengths. Therefore, in my opinion disclosure of gender identity is not important on the intellectual matters.

It is not necessary to provide ANY information that identifies you.
The decision whether or not to disclose your sexual preference, depends on a host of factors, such as how comfortable you are with your sexual orientation.

Gender Identity is male or female, intersexed, etc.
Sexual Preference or Sexual Orientation = LGBT, etc.

Gender identity? Well I think your family should already have a pretty good idea if your a boy or a girl. If you choose to have a sex change (which I think is pretty weird) but if that is what you choose I think you should be honest with your partner

Not important at all. Why would it be? We all have private lives.

If you're comfortable with who you are, rock their worlds by telling everyone.
