Childhood Gender Nonconformity:
When children do not conform to traditional gender “norms” and/or identify with the opposite gender.
Typical behavior includes cross-dressing and preferring playmates of the opposite sex and the toys that are marketed to them.
Multiple studies have correlated childhood gender nonconformity with eventual gay, bisexual and/or transgender outcomes.
