Figures & data

Table 1. Gender identities of the transgender sample by stage of medical transition.

Table 2. Factor loadings, eigenvalues, and percentage of variance each factor explains for the final 38 items of the GCLS (second principle components analysis; n = 451).

Table 3. Spearman's Rho correlation matrix between GCLS, HBDS, TCS, and WHOQOL assessing convergent validity (n = 451; transgender participants only).

Table 4. One-tailed Spearman's Rho correlations between the GCLS and the IGDS to assess discriminant validity (n = 451; transgender participants only).

Table 5. Mann–Whitney U test scores for transgender people who have undergone no GAMI (n = 189) versus cisgender people (n = 338) on the GCLS.

Table 6. Mann–Whitney U test scores for transgender males who have undergone no GAMI (n = 46) versus transgender males who are taking CHT and have undergone chest reconstructive surgery (n = 17) on the GCLS.

Table 7. Mann–Whitney U test scores for transgender people who have not undergone any GAMI (n = 189) versus transgender people who have taken CHT and undergone genital surgery (+/− chest reconstructive surgery; n = 92) on the GCLS.
