Developmental trajectories of transgender youth

The decision-making process for transgender and non-binary (TNB) youth and their parents/guardians is complex and is influenced by chronologic age and developmental stage at time of disclosure. The developmental trajectories of TNB individuals who disclose their gender and subsequently socially transition in childhood versus those who disclose in adolescence or early adulthood differ across multiple domains including but not limited to their relationship to the broader TNB community, disclosure patterns, parental responses, psychological challenges, identity integration and medical intervention timelines.

Learning objective:

  • Name 2 ways chronologic age and developmental stage impacts gender disclosure and social transition among TNB youth
  • Identify 2 psychological challenges faced by TNB individuals based on the timing of their gender disclosure
  • Describe at least 1 of the roles of mental health and medical professionals in providing developmentally appropriate care for TNB youth
