Summary

Trans youth are increasingly studied; however, there is a lack of research that deals with trans youth's sexuality in a nuanced way. This chapter contributes to the growing field of trans studies by providing a comprehensive exploration of how sexuality shows up in research about trans youth. Beginning with nineteenth-century sexologists, the author reveals a history of research about trans people that has been deeply influenced by medical and psychological discourses, in which trans peoples' sexual desires are pathologized or misunderstood, and which lacks the language and analysis to represent trans youths' sexual identities and desires in their complexity. Researchers have only begun to articulate trans youth as sexual beings – this chapter provides future researchers with much to consider as they explore trans youths' unique relationship to gender and sexuality.
