In an analysis of five large datasets, “transgender and gender diverse” individuals were 3.03 to 6.36 times more likely to be autistic than those who do not claim an alternative gender identity.

Medical records of 10,270 trans-identified patients found 58% had at least 1 psychiatric diagnosis. This compares to just 13.6% of patients without trans identities. Trans-identified patients showed greater prevalence of every psychiatric condition queried

Every boy with gender dysphoria in the study had elected for this surgery due to inability or reluctance to ejaculate. This suggests the possible presence of various psychological and physical conditions that are unexplored in the research.
