“…However, like studies in the general population on sexual minority stress in LGBT youth, not all variance in psychopathology is accounted for by peer victimization [ 7 ]. In the Toronto clinic, for example, it has also been shown that a composite measure of maternal psychopathology predicts variation in general behavioral and emotional problems, suggesting a generic risk factor is at play [ 40 ]. This was also evident in the present study, in that we found that Full-Scale IQ (lower) and parent’s social class (lower) were significant predictors of CBCL behavioral and emotional problems.…”

This study is the third in a series to examine behavioral and emotional problems in children and adolescents with gender dysphoria in a comparative analysis between two clinics in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and Amsterdam, the Netherlands. In the present study, we report Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) and Youth Self-Report (YSR) data on adolescents assessed in the Toronto clinic (n = 177) and the Amsterdam clinic (n = 139). On the CBCL and the YSR, we found that the percentage of adolescents with clinical range behavioral and emotional problems was higher when compared to the non-referred standardization samples but similar to the referred adolescents. On both the CBCL and the YSR, the Toronto adolescents had a significantly higher Total Problem score than the Amsterdam adolescents. Like our earlier studies of CBCL data of children and Teacher’s Report Form data of children and adolescents, a measure of poor peer relations was the strongest predictor of CBCL and YSR behavioral and emotional problems in gender dysphoric adolescents.

“…It is not currently clear how these two forms of distress relate to one another. Zucker, Wood, and VanderLaan (2014) highlight that there is a lack of research investigating distress which is a direct result of gender dysphoria in children and adolescents, and we argue that the same gap is apparent in the adult literature. Given the rapidly increasing societal awareness of transgender identities (e.g.…”

Gender dysphoria is distress due to a discrepancy between one's assigned gender and gender identity. Adults who wish to access gender clinics are assessed to ensure they meet the diagnostic criteria for gender dysphoria. Therefore, the definition of gender dysphoria has a significant impact on the lives of individuals who wish to undergo physical gender transition. This systematic review aimed to identify and synthesize all existing qualitative research literature about the lived experience of gender dysphoria in adults. A pre-planned systematic search identified 1491 papers, with 20 of those meeting full inclusion criteria, and a quality assessment of each paper was conducted. Data pertaining to the lived experience of gender dysphoria were extracted from each paper and a meta-ethnographic synthesis was conducted. Four overarching concepts were identified; distress due to dissonance of assigned and experienced gender; interface of assigned gender, gender identity and society; social consequences of gender identity; internal processing of rejection, and transphobia. A key finding was the reciprocal relationship between an individual's feelings about their gender and societal responses to transgender people. Other subthemes contributing to distress were misgendering, mismatch between gender identity and societal expectations, and hypervigilance for transphobia.

“…6 , 7 , 8 Research has shown that a significant proportion of adolescents with gender dysphoria have a history of other psychiatric diagnoses. 5 , 9 There are also a number of studies reporting a high percentage of suicidal ideation, self-harm, and suicide attempts in adolescents with gender dysphoria. 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 Compared with their cisgender peers, TGNC youth are more likely to report mental health problems such as anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation.…”
