This is a report on parents who have children who exhibit gender variant behaviors and who contacted an affirmative program in the United States for assistance. All parents completed the Child Behavior Checklist, the Gender Identity Questionnaire, and the Genderism and Transphobia Scale, as well as telephone interviews. The parents reported comparatively low levels of genderism and transphobia. When compared to children at other gender identity clinics in Canada and The Netherlands, parents rated their children's gender variance as no less extreme, but their children were overall less pathological. Indeed, none of the measures in this study could predict parents' ratings of their child's pathology. These findings support the contention that this affirmative program served children who were no less gender variant than in other programs, but they were overall less distressed.
这是一份关于父母的报告，他们的孩子表现出性别变异行为，并联系了美国的一个肯定项目寻求帮助。所有父母都完成了儿童行为检查表、性别认同问卷、性别歧视和跨性别恐惧症量表以及电话访谈。父母报告的性别歧视和跨性别恐惧症程度相对较低。与加拿大和荷兰其他性别认同诊所的儿童相比，父母认为自己孩子的性别差异并不那么极端，但他们的孩子总体上没有那么病态。事实上，这项研究中的任何措施都不能预测父母对孩子病态的评价。这些发现支持了这样一种观点，即这个肯定项目服务的儿童与其他项目中的儿童一样具有性别变异，但他们的整体痛苦程度较低。
