This important work reaffirms: we can trust children’s self-ascribed gender identities. I genuinely appreciate all the thought @jamesrrae & al. thought into writing article. I look forward to continued work in this vein (one of the nicest features of longitudinal studies).https://twitter.com/olsonista/status/1085238249663025152 …

I appreciate the challenges of defining DVs… But as a nonbinary, transfeminine, genderfluid cognitive scientist(who worked
@Yale in a dev psych lab next door to@olsonista)… I must caution: The research elides & ignores#nonbinary,#genderfluid,#bigender,#agender identities.1 reply 0 retweets 5 likesShow this thread -
For example, one can change pronouns to “they/them”. AFAICT, @jamesrrae,
@olsonista, et al. did not report on this phenomenon. Similarly disconcerting: the repeated use of “he/she” to refer to an individual child, instead of the more inclusive and ambiguous singular “they”.2 replies 0 retweets 5 likesShow this thread -
Thanks for the feedback! We work with some nonbinary kids & have more work in progress with them. this particular paper focused on asking who experienced a binary social transition (defined by he/she pronouns), but we plan to write more about other topics. Suggestions welcome!
