Early transgender identity tends to endure, a new study suggests
Early Transgender Identity Tends to Endure, a New Study SuggestsMichael Siluk/UCG/Universal Images Group via Getty Imageshildren who begin identifying as transgender at a young age tend to retain that identity at least for several years, a study published Wednesday suggests.
It’s unknown whether similar results would be found among youngsters from less advantaged backgrounds or those who begin identifying as transgender as teenagers. The study was published online in Pediatrics. “If you’re in the trenches doing this work day-in and day-out with trans kiddos and their families, this is what we see,’’ said Williams, who was not involved in the study. “A majority of transgender youth and kids who make a social transition remain living in their affirmed gender.”
“It suggests that our model of thinking about people as they’re either X or Y, they’re either cisgender or transgender … is kind of an antiquated way of thinking about gender,” Olson said.
