Background: Gender incongruent children report lower self-perception compared to the norm population. This study explored differences in self-perception between children living in their gender role assigned at birth and children living in their experienced gender role. Method: The self-perception questionnaire was administered to 312 children referred to the Center of Expertise on Gender Dysphoria 'Amsterdam UMC'. Social transition status was determined by parental interviews. 2 (social transition) by 2 (sex assigned at birth) ANCOVA's were conducted. Results: Children living in their assigned gender role reported comparable self-perception to children living in their experienced gender role. Birth assigned girls living in their assigned gender role reported poorer self-perception on 'athletic competence', compared to girls living in their experienced gender role. Birth assigned boys living in their assigned gender role reported poorer on 'scholastic competence' and 'behavioral conduct' compared to boys living in their experienced gender role. Conclusions: Social transition did not show to affect self-perception. Self-perception was poorer for birth assigned boys living in their experienced gender role. For birth assigned girls this was reversed. Future studies should give more insight in the role of social transitions in relation to child development and focus on other aspects related to self-perception. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
