This study looks at the mental health of a group of medically transitioning transgender adolescents who had made a binary social transition during childhood and who, in general, had not experienced substantial gender-incongruent puberty.

We identify psychological constructs reflected in anti-trans rhetoric and then review existing literature on the consequences and beliefs associated with these constructs. Based upon this review, we argue that the reasoning used to promote anti-trans laws specifically, essentialist beliefs and benevolent sexism—is actually associated with outcomes that are detrimental to the very groups these laws purport to protect.
This research explores whether race–gender associations in mouse-tracking differed across racial/ethnic groups and between cultures.
