The title of this article is misleading. It's not the gender identity uncertainty that is risky, it's the way the kids are treated and looked at by others for being transgender that puts them at risk. From what i understand, this isn't a disorder, it's well- known phenonmena where people identitfy as the opposite gender of what their physical sexual organs are. Pretty simple concept, only made more complicated and risky by those who are resistent to it. I'm glad there is medication being implemented to postpone puberity and let the kid and their family decide together what gender they want to grow up as..


What if it's the trauma of abuse that leads to gender confusion? A retrospective analysis can only highlight association. would be interesting to see the time pattern of the behavior but i imagine that would be quite difficult to document..


This article suggests that the behavior of a child influences wether they will be raped. Outrageous. Its more likely that the trauma of being raped leads to more gender confusion..
