Being trans in Korea: key milestones and stigmatization across life stages in a nationwide survey of 585 transgender and non-binary young adults
Our study identifies key milestone ages related to transgender identity and experiences of stigmatization across life stages among TGNB adults in Korea. With 97.6% of participants under 40 years old, these findings primarily reflect the experiences of TGNB young adults. Further research is necessary to better understand the experiences of middle-aged and elderly TGNB individuals in Korea.
