Neuroimaging insights into transgender and gender nonconfirming youth: a scoping review

There is a lack of robust neuroimaging data on GI/GD adolescents, particularly from longitudinal studies, which are crucial for understanding neurobiological processes. Non-binary identifying adolescents should be given more consideration in research. Future research should include non-binary adolescents and integrate ethical considerations to prevent misinterpretation or stigmatization. Neuroimaging should not reduce gender diversity to neurobiology but rather contribute to a more nuanced understanding of gender identity.

Abstract

There is a lack of robust neuroimaging data on GI/GD adolescents, particularly from longitudinal studies, which are crucial for understanding neurobiological processes. Non-binary identifying adolescents should be given more consideration in research. Future research should include non-binary adolescents and integrate ethical considerations to prevent misinterpretation or stigmatization. Neuroimaging should not reduce gender diversity to neurobiology but rather contribute to a more nuanced understanding of gender identity.
