Adopted transgender subjects are overrepresented and have a different psychosocial profile than their non-adopted counterparts: A case-control study

Adopted transgender individuals represent a vulnerable subgroup within the transgender population, characterized by unique psychosocial challenges. Our findings underscore the importance of tailored interventions and heightened support within transgender health clinics for adoptees seeking gender-affirming therapy. Further research is warranted to elucidate the interplay of adoption, biological predispositions, and social factors in the development of gender incongruence.
