Tony Ferraiolo, a Connecticut-based trans youth advocate, author, and trainer, says there’s no question that children -- even very young children -- can know that the gender they were assigned at birth isn’t right. “Our bodies and our minds start forming gender identity around ages 3 to 5. Trans people aren’t different,” he says. “Trans children are not too young to know that they’re trans.”
With young kids, the situation is usually simpler, says Ehrensaft, a developmental and clinical psychologist. They often come to the parent saying not that they want to dress up like a child of the opposite sex, but that they, she says. After careful exploration, perhaps with the help of a trained gender specialist, it’s possible to find out if the child is expressing their gender identity or saying something else.
