What causes gender identity disorder in kids?

Gender identity: Different professionals have different opinions. Some suggest that there are problems with sex-role identification in early childhood usually with an absent or emotionally detached same gender parent. I would suggest that you look at multiple sources to help you figure out what best reflects your situation.

Born Transgender: There's no scientific evidence 2support belief that kids get 2B transgender b/c of the influence of caregivers who're emotionally detached or who provide "confused" gender role messages. Most who don't identify as transgender find it ridiculous 2imagine that their upbringing could have made them identify as the opposite sex. Amer psychiatric assn has dropped diagnosis "gender identity disorder.".
