SUMMARY:Youth and gender identity and transitioning
DESCRIPTION:More than 5% of U.S. young adults say their gender is different from the sex assigned to them at birth. At the same time\, at least 15 states are currently debating laws that would restrict the types or timing of interventions designed to support young people wishing to change their gender. \nSciLine’s next media briefing will cover: what is known about how gender identity develops\, including the role of external factors such as family\, school\, and community environments; what is involved in the process of medical transition\, including the use of puberty blockers and hormone treatments; and research findings on how the outward\, social transition to a different gender — and the age at which that transition occurs — can impact a person’s mental health. Three experts will brief reporters and then take questions on the record. \nFeatured panelists \n● Dr. Jenifer McGuire\, University of Minnesota \n● Dr. Madeline Deutsch\, University of California\, San Francisco \n● Dr. Alex Keuroghlian\, Harvard Medical School and The Fenway Institute \n● SciLine Director Rick Weiss will moderate the briefing. \nWhen/Where:1:00pm EST\, Wednesday\, September 14\, 2022 (Online) \n  \nFind more information and a video about the event\, visit this webpage. \n
