Abstract

We developed and tested a new Singing Gender Dysphoria (SGD) measure on 565 cisgender and 147 trans-nonbinary participants. The scale was highly reliable, ɑ = .934. Whereas gender predicted SGD (p <.001), pronouns did not—suggesting that gender identity, but not social presentations, predict SGD.
