The article reviews the factors contributing to final adult height and how it may be affected in TGD youth. Further research is needed to understand the impact of growth and final adult height on the lived experience of TGD individuals. It also discusses how medical transition can be modified to help them achieve their goals.
The sexually dimorphic trait of height is one aspect of the experience of transgender and gender-diverse (TGD) individuals that may influence their gender dysphoria and satisfaction with their transition. In this article, we have reviewed the current knowledge of the factors that contribute to one's final adult height and how it might be affected in TGD youth who have not experienced their gonadal puberty in the setting of receiving gonadotropin-releasing hormone analog (GnRHa) and gender-affirming hormonal treatment. Additional research is needed to characterize the influence of growth and final adult height on the lived experience of TGD youth and adults and how to best assess their growth, predict their final adult height, and how medical transition can be potentially modified to help them meet their goals.
