A doctor at BCH claimed in a video put out by the hospital that some transgender patients know their gender identity “as early as seemingly from the womb.”
“They will usually express their gender identity as very young children, some as soon as they can talk, they might say phrases such as ‘I’m a girl’ or ‘I’m a boy’ or ‘I’m going to be a woman’ or ‘I’m going to be a mom,’” Dr. Kerry McGregor, a psychologist at BCH’s Gender Multispecialty Service clinic, said in the video.
“Kids know very, very early.” McGregor also said that the clinic serves patients as young as age 2 or 3.
