Is there any studies showing a coloration between sport participation and ID-ing as trans? I imagine being involved in a sport community and being connected to your body is likely to reduce dysphoric feelings, and get you off the internet! Maybe you could link any you know of, or possibly hold on a poll asking parents?
On the correlation between sports participation and id’ing as trans, that’s an interesting question. While I don’t know of any official data, I have read blogs by formerly trans-identified women who discuss how being involved in physical activities helped them feel more grounded in (and accepting of) their bodies.
Anyone want to weigh in? Are there women (or parents of girls) on here who can speak to whether playing sports or doing other physical activities can help to dissipate dysphoric feelings?
