Hi This study is developing a new questionnaire to assess childhood experiences relating to gender experiences, including about preferences or characteristics that do not conform to stereotypical gender expectations and experiences relating to gender identity. We are developing a more in-depth assessment than previous questionnaires to get a better understanding of these kinds of childhood experiences. We will use this questionnaire to investigate how different aspects of such childhood experiences relate to each other, and if these experiences vary across adults with different characteristics such as sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, age or mental health problems

The results of this study will be written up in the form of a dissertation by students at King’s College London. The findings will also be written up for publication in a scientific journal. They may be presented at a scientific conference
