ABSTRACT Despite extant evidence of negative peer treatment of transgender adolescents and adults, little is known about how young children perceive transgender peers, particularly those who have socially transitioned or are living in line with their gender rather than sex at birth. Whereas children have been shown to be averse to gender nonconformity in peers, because many transgender children appear and behave in ways consistent with their expressed gender (but not their sex at birth), it is unclear how children evaluate these identities. In 2 studies, we investigated 5- to 10-year-old children’s (Ntotal = 113) preferences for transgender versus gender-“typical” peers who either shared their gender identity or did not. We also examined whether children categorized transgender peers by their sex or expressed gender, as it might inform their evaluations. Children preferred cisgender peers over transgender peers; however, they also liked peers of their own gender rather than the other gender (e.g., female participants preferred girls over boys), demonstrating that the oft-documented own-gender bias plays an important role even when children are reasoning about transgender peers. Children did not reliably categorize transgender peers by sex or gender; yet those who categorized transgender peers by their sex showed greater dislike of transgender peers. The current studies are the first to investigate cisgender children’s attitudes toward transgender children and suggest that perceptions of gender categorization and conformity play a role in children’s evaluations of transgender peers.

儿童对跨性别儿童的评价与分类

摘要 尽管有证据表明跨性别青少年和成人受到同伴的负面对待,但人们对幼儿如何看待跨性别同伴知之甚少,尤其是那些已经社会转型或与性别而非出生性别一致的人。虽然儿童已被证明不喜欢同龄人中的性别不一致,因为许多跨性别儿童的表现和行为方式与他们表达的性别(但不是他们的出生性别)一致,但尚不清楚儿童如何评估这些身份。在 2 项研究中,我们调查了 5 至 10 岁儿童(Ntotal = 113)对跨性别与性别“典型”同龄人的偏好,这些同龄人要么分享他们的性别认同,要么不分享他们的性别认同。我们还检查了儿童是否按性别或表达的性别对跨性别同龄人进行分类,因为它可能会影响他们的评估。与跨性别同龄人相比,儿童更喜欢顺性别同龄人;然而,他们也喜欢同性别的同龄人而不是其他性别的同龄人(例如,女性参与者更喜欢女孩而不是男孩),这表明即使在儿童对跨性别同龄人进行推理时,经常被记录的自身性别偏见也起着重要作用。儿童没有可靠地按性别对跨性别同龄人进行分类;然而,那些按性别对跨性别同龄人进行分类的人表现出更不喜欢跨性别同龄人。目前的研究首次调查了顺性别儿童对跨性别儿童的态度,并表明性别分类和顺从的看法在儿童对跨性别同龄人的评价中发挥着作用。他们还喜欢同性别的同龄人而不是其他性别的同龄人(例如,女性参与者更喜欢女孩而不是男孩),这表明即使在儿童对跨性别同龄人进行推理时,经常被记录的自身性别偏见也起着重要作用。儿童不能可靠地按性别对跨性别同龄人进行分类;然而,那些按性别对跨性别同龄人进行分类的人表现出更不喜欢跨性别同龄人。目前的研究首次调查了顺性别儿童对跨性别儿童的态度,并表明性别分类和顺从的看法在儿童对跨性别同龄人的评价中发挥了作用。他们还喜欢同性别的同龄人而不是其他性别的同龄人(例如,女性参与者更喜欢女孩而不是男孩),这表明即使在儿童对跨性别同龄人进行推理时,经常被记录的自身性别偏见也起着重要作用。儿童不能可靠地按性别对跨性别同龄人进行分类;然而,那些按性别对跨性别同龄人进行分类的人表现出更不喜欢跨性别同龄人。目前的研究首次调查了顺性别儿童对跨性别儿童的态度,并表明性别分类和顺从的看法在儿童对跨性别同龄人的评价中发挥了作用。证明即使在儿童对跨性别同龄人进行推理时,经常记录的自身性别偏见也起着重要作用。儿童没有可靠地按性别对跨性别同龄人进行分类;然而,那些按性别对跨性别同龄人进行分类的人表现出更不喜欢跨性别同龄人。目前的研究首次调查了顺性别儿童对跨性别儿童的态度,并表明性别分类和顺从的看法在儿童对跨性别同龄人的评价中发挥了作用。证明即使在儿童对跨性别同龄人进行推理时,经常记录的自身性别偏见也起着重要作用。儿童不能可靠地按性别对跨性别同龄人进行分类;然而,那些按性别对跨性别同龄人进行分类的人表现出更不喜欢跨性别同龄人。目前的研究首次调查了顺性别儿童对跨性别儿童的态度,并表明性别分类和顺从的看法在儿童对跨性别同龄人的评价中发挥了作用。
