10. Developmental Stages & the Transgender Child AGES 2-3 Gender identity emerges, can identity “gender” of toys and certain clothes, seek out same-sex role models (matching their inner sense of gender), confused by gender variant adults, some announce difference between what they are told and what they feel and know about their gender identity. AGES 3-4 Sense of own gender identity, gender roles refined and stereotypes emerge, gender segregation emerges, struggle to find language to express differences, unsure of whether gender variance or transgender identity. AGES 4-6 Associate gender with specific behaviors, use of gender scripts, through intentional learning can adapt scripts, indicators of gender variance clearly emerge, understanding of gender consistency can be shaky, transgender children may be consistent and persistent in their cross-gender identity AGES 5-7 Gender consistency established, attachment to stereotypical behaviors subsides, possible embarrassment stemming from awareness of being outside the norm in interests, imposed limitations on expression could lead to behavioral issues and expressions of suicidal ideation.
