BOSTON, March 20, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- A study published in the Journal of Adolescent Health found that a substantial proportion of transgender and gender diverse (TGD) adults realized that their gender identity is different from their sex assigned at birth during adolescence or later. It also found that TGD people typically waited many years before sharing this realization with another person. The study adds important new knowledge to clinical and popular understanding of the timing of TGD people's awareness, understanding, and sharing of their gender identity. It also undercuts a core component of the "rapid onset gender dysphoria" (ROGD) hypothesis, which posits that TGD identities realized in adolescence are transient and will not continue into adulthood.

Key Points: 
  • The study adds important new knowledge to clinical and popular understanding of the timing of TGD people's awareness, understanding, and sharing of their gender identity.
  • It also undercuts a core component of the "rapid onset gender dysphoria" (ROGD) hypothesis, which posits that TGD identities realized in adolescence are transient and will not continue into adulthood.
  • Participants were also asked how old they were when they first shared their gender identity with another person.
  • Published in Pediatrics, that study provided evidence undercutting the "social contagion" component of the ROGD hypothesis.
