Despite increasing efforts to better understand sexual and gender minority youth (SGMY), asexual youth remain understudied. This study examines differences in health, family support, and school safety among asexual youth (n = 938) from a national study of SGMY (N = 17,112) ages 13–17. Compared to non-asexual youth, asexual youth were more likely to identify as transgender and report a disability, and less likely to identify as Black or Hispanic/Latino. Transgender (versus cisgender) asexual youth fared worse on most study outcomes. Cisgender asexual (versus cisgender non-asexual) youth fared worse on all study outcomes. Transgender asexual (versus transgender non-asexual) youth reported lower sexuality-related family support. These findings underscore the role of gender identity in understanding the experiences of asexual youth.

尽管越来越多地努力更好地了解性和性别少数青年（SGMY），但无性青年仍然未被充分研究。在健康，家庭支持，学校安全无性青年（其中本研究探讨差异ñ  = 938）从SGMY的全国性研究（ñ = 17,112) 13-17 岁。与非无性恋青年相比，无性恋青年更有可能被认定为变性人并报告残疾，而不太可能被认定为黑人或西班牙裔/拉丁裔。跨性别（与顺性别）无性恋青年在大多数研究结果中表现更差。顺性别无性恋（与顺性别非无性恋）青年在所有研究结果中的表现都更差。变性无性恋（与变性非无性恋）青年报告的与性有关的家庭支持较低。这些发现强调了性别认同在理解无性恋青年经历中的作用。
