Psychiatric News (5/12) reports, “Youth who socially transition to a gender other than the sex they were assigned at birth are likely to continue identifying as that gender five years later,” investigators concluded in a study that “used data from the Trans Youth Project, a longitudinal study involving 317 youth aged 3 to 12 years old.” The study revealed that “an average of 5.37 years after their initial transitions, 94% of participants were living as binary transgender, 2.5% identified as cisgender, and 3.5% identified as nonbinary.” The findings were published online May 4 in the journal Pediatrics.
