我们评估了最近关于儿童的心理学文献是否反映了美国心理学协会最近关于“跨性别”和“性别变异”个体的非歧视声明的时代精神。文章记录（N=94）在1999年和2008年之间发表的儿童“性别认同”和“表达”进行了评估，两种cisgenderism，无效或病态的自我指定的性别，与外部指定的对比意识形态。性别错误的语言与儿童自己的性别分配相矛盾，并且比病态语言更不常见，病态语言将儿童自己的性别分配和表达构建为无序。关于儿童性别认同/表达的文章在心理学中越来越有影响力。顺性别主义总体上既没有增加也没有减少。心理健康专家比其他作者更顺性别主义。文章由一个'看不见的大学'的成员围绕在这一领域最多产的作者是更cisgenderist和影响力比其他文章。我们建议作者和编辑如何实施美国心理协会的政策，改变科学话语儿童的性别。
We assessed whether recent psychological literature on children reflects or contrasts with the zeitgeist of American Psychological Association's recent non-discrimination statement on 'transgender' and 'gender variant' individuals. Article records (N=94) on childhood 'gender identity' and 'expression' published between 1999 and 2008 inclusive were evaluated for two kinds of cisgenderism, the ideology that invalidates or pathologises self-designated genders that contrast with external designations. Misgendering language contradicts children's own gender assignations and was less frequent than pathologising language which constructs children's own gender assignations and expression as disordered. Articles on children's gender identity/expression are increasingly impactful within psychology. Cisgenderism is neither increasing nor decreasing overall. Mental health professionals are more cisgenderist than other authors. Articles by members of an 'invisible college' structured around the most prolific author in this area are more cisgenderist and impactful than other articles. We suggest how authors and editors can implement American Psychological Association policy and change scientific discourse about children's genders.
