跨性别青少年通常以与顺性别青少年相同的方式对自己进行分类——即女孩/女人和男孩/男人。然而，这些自我分类对跨性别和顺性别青少年的影响程度的潜在差异还有待探索，以及与跨性别自我分类相比，跨性别青少年对其性别的相对重要性也有待探索。在本研究中，我们在美国和加拿大的 392 名 12-18 岁 (M= 15.02) 二元跨性别者 (n= 130)、二元顺性别 (n= 236) 和非二元 (n= 26) 青少年样本中探讨了自我报告的身份重要性。结果显示，二元跨性别青少年认为他们的性别自我分类对他们来说比二元顺性别和非二元青少年更重要。大多数二元跨性别青少年认为性别自我分类对他们来说最重要。此外，跨性别青少年认为他们的性别自我分类对他们来说比跨性别自我分类（即他们对“跨性别”标签的认同）更重要。这些发现表明，二元变性青少年经常被否认的身份可能正是对他们来说最重要的身份。结果还表明，具有不同性别认同的性别多样化青少年对这些身份的重视程度可能有所不同。
Transgender adolescents often categorize themselves in the same way that cisgender adolescents do—that is, as girls/women and boys/men. Potential differences in the extent to which these self‐categorizations matter to transgender and cisgender adolescents, however, have yet to be explored, as has the relative importance transgender adolescents place on their gender compared to their transgender self‐categorization. In the current study, we explored self‐reported identity importance in a sample of 392 primarily White (70%) and multiracial/ethnic (20%) 12–18‐year‐old (M= 15.02) binary transgender (n= 130), binary cisgender (n= 236), and nonbinary (n= 26) adolescents in the United States and Canada. Results revealed that binary transgender adolescents considered their gender self‐categorization to be more important to them than both binary cisgender and nonbinary adolescents did. Most binary transgender adolescents rated their gender self‐categorization as maximally important to them. Additionally, transgender adolescents considered their gender self‐categorization to be more important to them than their transgender self‐categorization (that is, their identification with the label “transgender”). These findings demonstrate that the identities that are often denied to binary transgender adolescents may be the very identities that are most important to them. Results also suggest that gender diverse adolescents with different gender identities may differ in the importance they place on these identities.
