The interplay between gender identity and sex assigned at birth in adolescents’ health and wellbeing: a cross-sectional study
TGE adolescents have worse health outcomes than cisgender peers and, simultaneously, adolescents who were AFAB (cisgender girls and TGE AFAB) have worse health outcomes than those AMAB (cisgender boys and TGE AMAB, respectively). In health research, gender identity should complement, not substitute, sex assigned at birth.
