Child and adolescent gender center: a multidisciplinary collaboration to improve the lives of gender nonconforming children and teens.

摘要

The terms gender diverse, gender variant, and gender nonconforming are synonymous and refer to any child whose manifestation of gender in some aspect does not conform to societal norms. This designation would include a child whose dress, mannerisms, toys, or other preferences (ie, gender expression) are inconsistent with what is expected, and also would include a transgender child. Transgender individuals are a subset of this group whose internal sense (ie, gender identity) of their gender is opposite the gender they were assigned at birth.
