Physician-scientist conducting research about gender dysphoria & detransition. Institute for Comprehensive Gender Dysphoria Research (ICGDR). Views are my own.
Joined February 2019
Our requirement for participation is that the youth is experiencing gender dysphoria, defined broadly as discomfort with one’s birth sex. We do not have requirements about how they identify (trans, nonbinary, not trans, desisted, etc). So, if the child is not currently experiencing gender dysphoria, the parents and child are not eligible. If the child isexperiencing gender dysphoria, the family is eligible.

Thank you! Our requirement for participation is that the youth is experiencing gender dysphoria, defined (broadly) as discomfort with one’s birth sex. We do not have requirements about how they identify (trans, nonbinary, not trans, desisted, etc). So, if the child is not currently experiencing gender dysphoria, the parents and child are not eligible. If the child is experiencing gender dysphoria, the family is eligible. I remain very interested in desisters so there will be more studies that focus specifically on desisters and parents.

@Hypatia1885 @MargaretBluman For eligibility into the study, the youth needs to be experiencing gender dysphoria-- and we are using the broad definition of gender dysphoria as discomfort with one’s birth sex. We are not requiring that the youth has received a formal diagnosis.
