There is no simple answer to this question. Each child is uniquely created with personality differences. That being said, the causes and effects of gender dysphoria are complex.
There are a few factors that do carry major influence over a child’s identity.
These can include:
– Family dynamics
– Secure attachment between a child and his or her parents
– Social or cultural factors
Reliable research shows that gender-confused children are prone to many influences. Additionally, education, specifically sex education, throughout a child’s early ages and stages plays a fundamental role in healthy development over time.
