In childhood, GNC can easily manifest itself in several techniques, consisting of play behavior, peer connections, clothing, as well as body movement. Childhood years GNC performs not directly signify cultivating gender dysphoria (GD) later on in everyday life, although the phenomena are actually linked. Recently, research studies have actually begun to create a higher co-occurrence of GNC, GD and also autism sphere problem.

GNC participate in behavior was figured out utilizing the Preschool Activities Stock, which includes 12 "feminine" and also 12 "manly" playthings, play tasks and also kid features.In both sexual activities, much higher levels of gender nonconforming play was actually related to increased personality difficulties.
