Laura, this is enormously helpful. I was going to ask you for the link, but I found it:
https://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/pediatrics/141/5/e20173845.full.pdf
We will review and I, at least, will check back with you for translation services on the parts I don't understand.
Thank you!
Jane

Quentin and All,
Here is recent and truly excellent research on trans children and minors among Kaiser-Permanente members in
Georgia, northern CA, southern CA.
From a presentation I just gave at the conference of the Society of Catholic Social Scientists, Oct. 29, 2019,
Steubenville, Ohio (held at Franciscan University):
Recommended messaging for Georgia:
Kaiser-Permanente studied non-conforming gender identity in its members from 2006 to 2014. It found that 70%-71% of
adolescents (ages 10-17) who later identified as gender non-conforming had high rates of other psychiatric
diagnoses prior to first evidence of gender non-conformity, and most of those (60-66%) were in force during the 6
months before onset of gender non-conformity. Prevalence [prevalence ratios] of these diagnoses, and of
hospitalizations for these disorders, compared to gender conforming boys and girls, mostly ranged from moderate to
astronomically sky high. Children (ages 3-9) who later became gender non-conforming had a similar pattern of higher
prevalence for lifetime disorders and 6-month-before-onset diagnoses, but in lower absolute numbers. Some children
did not have other psychiatric disorders. Kohlberg said children are simply still developing their concept of
gender identity up to age 7.

Over the 8 years of the study, from 2006 to 2014, the number of gender non-conforming minors rose 800% in Georgia.
Additional information:
(Number of TGNCs roses 1100% in northern CA, southern CA was between northern CA and Georgia).

This retrospective and prospective, longitudinal study used the complete set of electronic medical records for an
entire cohort of Kaiser-Permanente members at three sites (Georgia, northern California, and southern California)
for the years 2006 - 2014.
It may be the first research that found onset dates of psychiatric disorders and first evidence date of gender nonconforming identity.
There were 427 TF (bio Ms) and 655 TM (bio Fs) children and adolescents = 1,082 GNCs (gender identity nonconformers means TFs + TMs).
(TF = trans female/bio male; TM = trans male/bio female)
Each was matched to 10 controls of the same bio sex + 10 of opposite bio sex.

Their Peers. Pediatrics. 2018;141(5):e20173845
