Abstract

Transgender targets were rated as less natural than cisgender (non-transgender) targets. Moreover, even participants with extremely positive attitudes towards transgender individuals rated a transgender woman and an individual who identified as both male and female (nonbinary) as significantly less natural than a cisgender man and a cisgender woman.
