trans youth
Transgender young people
Trans youth refers to young people—typically children, adolescents, and teenagers—whose gender identity differs from the sex they were assigned at birth.
The term appears frequently in discussions of healthcare, school policies, and legal protections: trans youth face higher rates of bullying, policies affecting trans youth.
The phrase centers on identity rather than medical transition, which may or may not be part of a young person's experience.
