Sub-theme: Recognition by Others
- Seeing gender minority people and being exposed to gender diversity was extremely important to the youth because it helped them in the process of understanding their own gender identity.
- The recognition that followed exposure to gender diversity enabled exploration of gender for some youth.
- Being recognized by others in the same way that the youth experienced themselves created a sense of feeling whole and authentic. For some youth, finding a community that mirrored their internal self and offered more flexible gender identities contributed further to a sense of feeling whole.
- Forming relationships with others, and observing how they are perceived by them, helped gender minority youth clarify gender identity.
