Youth view gender as a spectrum of experiences, not the cis-binary framework of girls/women versus boys/men. However, research has historically focused on cisgender people, without considering the rich experiences of transgender and non-binary people. Method. To address gaps in the inclusion of transgender and gender non-binary youth in research, a group of transgender and non-binary youth came together through a research-based youth engagement initiative to discuss what they wanted researchers to know about gender. Results. Youth propose ten guidelines and principles that they ask researchers to acknowledge, respect, and apply. These guidelines and principles focus on acknowledging and accepting diverse experiences situated on a gender spectrum, committing to learning more about gender, incorporating gender appropriately in their research initiatives, and engaging with transgender and non-binary youth in the research they conduct. Funders, research ethics boards, and publishers are also responsible for attending to gender. Conclusions. Researchers are called on to consider these guidelines and principles and to engage in dialogue around them in order to better capture the experiences of transgender and non-binary youth in the new evidence base as it emerges.
年轻人认为性别是一系列经历的组合，而不是 cis-binary 框架中的女性/女孩与男性/男孩。然而，研究历史上一直关注顺性别者，而没有考虑跨性别者和非二元性别者的丰富经历。方法。为了解决跨性别和非二元性别青年在研究中被纳入不足的问题，一群跨性别和非二元性别青年通过一项基于研究的青年参与倡议聚集在一起，讨论他们希望研究人员了解有关性别的哪些方面。结果。青年提出了十条准则和原则，要求研究人员承认、尊重和应用这些准则和原则。这些准则和原则侧重于承认和接受性别光谱上多样化的经历，致力于更多地了解性别，在他们的研究计划中适当地纳入性别，并与他们进行的研究中的跨性别和非二元性别青年进行接触。资助者、研究伦理委员会和出版商也有责任关注性别问题。结论。研究人员被要求考虑这些准则和原则，并围绕它们进行对话，以便在新的证据基础中更好地捕捉跨性别和非二元性别青年的经验，因为它正在出现。
