Trans youth as consistent in their identity as cis youth, study shows

New science: Transgender youth are as stable in their gender identity as their cisgender peers

“We have presented a detailed quantitative portrait of gender identity and sexual orientation over time in a sample of over 900 North American youths studied between 2013 and early 2024. 

Gender identity tended to be a stable trait across development for the vast majority of youths (>80.0%), including those who were supported in a social gender transition during childhood.

These early‐identifying transgender youths were no more or less likely to show gender change than their siblings or an unrelated comparison group of youths who were recruited into the study as cisgender children.”
