The relationship between symptoms of gender dysphoria and social anxiety in transgender young adults: a network analysis
Feeling unhappy with physical characteristics and hopelessness are crucial influencing factors in transgender young adults' co-occurring symptoms of gender dysphoria and social anxiety. Since symptomatic connections were heterogeneous across the three transgender groups, diverse tailoring interventions combined with social efforts are required to buffer against the co-occurrence of gender dysphoria and social anxiety.
