“We can’t say this kid will be trans and this one won’t be, but it’s not that we have no idea!” “Our study suggests that it’s not random,” she says. And if only small proportions do, as some studies have suggested, the argument goes that “they shouldn’t be transitioning.” She disputes that idea. “There’s a lot of public writing focused on the idea that we have no idea which of these gender-nonconforming kids will or will not eventually identify as trans,” says Olson.

And as transgender identities have gained more social acceptance, more parents are faced with questions about whether and how to support their young gender-nonconforming children. This is a topic for which long-term data are scarce. “Enough of them were doing it that we had this unique opportunity to look back at our data to see whether the kids who went on to transition were different to those who didn’t,” Olson says.īy studying the 85 gender-nonconforming children she recruited, her team has now shown, in two separate ways, that those who go on to transition do so because they already have a strong sense of their identity. And as she kept in touch with the families over the years, she learned that some of those children eventually transitioned. Olson agreed.Īfter a while, she realized that she had inadvertently recruited a sizable group of 85 gender-nonconforming participants, ages 3 to 12. Those parents asked whether their children could participate in the study. They might include boys who like wearing dresses or girls who play with trucks, but who have not, for example, changed the pronouns they use. Since the study’s launch, Olson has also heard from the parents of gender-nonconforming kids, who consistently defy gender stereotypes but have not socially transitioned.
