Do You Know If Your Children are Transgender?

If your children often violate gender norms, you may wonder if they are trans people. At that time, you can observe how your child expresses his gender identity and pay attention to the tendency for gender inconsistencies. But be careful not to go too deep, as many gender norms are actually stereotypes. For example, a little boy who likes dolls is not necessarily a ladyboy. In any case, you want to help your child explore their feelings and identity. If they are transgender, give them love, support him as much as possible.

Watch for your child's tendency to be gender-neutral. Maybe you've seen your daughter enjoy playing with toys that are usually considered "male." Remember, just because your daughter likes playing trucks doesn't mean she is trans. However, if your child always shows a strong preference for something that does not meet gender expectations, it may be something that needs your attention.

Children who differ in some ways may simply be gender-neutral. A child who is different in many ways, and who is extremely unhappy when forced to behave like the gender specified at birth, is likely to be transgender.

Remember, most gender perceptions are stereotypes. For example, boys don't like blue by nature.

Look for signposts along the way. Transgender children usually show many signs of true gender. The performances they imagine often reflect their gender and how they want to dress themselves. If a child shows many of these signs, he may be transgender

Stick to shopping in the men's and women's area

Choose a boy / girl name for yourself

Like heterosexual friends (gender children want)

Fuss over hairstyle

Often disguised as characters in books or movies, they have the sex they want

Hate their genitals

Respect older boys / girls and hope to be like them

Begging for a book or toy that says "For Boys" or "To Girls

Want reincarnation to be their true gender

Weeping for their sex at birth

They are happier when you ask them to do something related to the gender they want

Notice the signs of unhappiness being pushed to the wrong gender role. For example, if your "son" is screaming during a haircut because she can't stand short hair. Gender is important, so if your child has to pretend they are not someone, they may feel (and behave) that the world is coming to an end.

Pay attention to temper tantrums, buy clothes, wear pink / blue clothes, and other dress decisions. This may make your child feel like they are fighting to adapt them to their gender role.

Pay attention to arguments. For example, if you say "boys can wear skirts" and your child says "but I'm not a boy in skirts! I'm a girl!" Then the child might be shemales.

Children forced to play the wrong gender role can be very upset and behave exceptionally. They may also internalize negative emotions, which can cause emotional problems years later. Fortunately, conversions usually solve most problems.
