BackgroundThe Gender Feeling Amplitude (GFA) is a 68-item list of words and phrases with which to identify the feelings and severity of a young persons distress regarding their gender identity and gender diversity, and takes ~1min to administer. Method: For this pilot study, 67 adolescents and youth who sought support, confirmation or intervention (either via themselves or their parents) regarding gender diversity or gender transition were given the GFA in a face-to-face meeting before the beginning of an assessment procedure for gender diversity. Forty-three assigned females and 24 assigned males aged between 10 and 20 years were analysed by frequency of item, age and assigned gender. Results: Of the 68 items, those circled by close to 50% or more of the participants were self-conscious, awkward and dont fit in. One-third or more circled the words shy, supported, hopeful, discomfort, as if Im not being seen properly, forced to be something Im not, depressed and stressed. Conclusion: Comparisons showed some variations in responses by both assigned gender and age, and the discussion includes ways the GFA may be able to assist a health practitioner with explorations of gender diversity and interventions for counselling.
