Transgenderism of children and adolescents

Summary/Abstract: Strong and persistent gender identification combined with proven persistence of gender discomfort may occur in children and adolescents. Public and professional views on transgenderism have evolved from the belief in the 1960s that the phenomenon is a rare psychopathology to the current belief that it is an understandable form of human biology that is not uncommon. Many people suffer discrimination when choosing to fulfill roles that do not conform to social stereotypes about male and female roles. The rules on gender discrimination do not cover discrimination based on gender stereotypes. Transgender people face societal challenges such as stigma, blatant discrimination and harassment, and often find it difficult to reconcile their identities with the norms of their families and communities. In addition, they are exposed to the challenges of marginalization in a way that could have a negative impact on their health. The aim of the article is to characterize the practices applied to transgender children and adolescents.
