Do Clinical Data from Transgender Adolescents Support the Phenomenon of Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria?

Although emergence of gender dysphoria at puberty is long established, a distinct pathway of rapid onset gender dysphoria was recently hypothesized based on parental data. Using adolescent clinical data, we tested a series of associations that would be consistent with this pathway, however, our results did not support the rapid onset gender dysphoria hypothesis.

Automated summary

Although the hypothesis of rapid onset gender dysphoria was proposed based on parental data, the results from adolescent clinical data did not support this hypothesis.
