Study: Transgender Children Allowed to Live Openly Fare Well
By The Associated Press, Feb. 26, 2016

Young transgender children allowed to live openly as the gender they identify with fared as well psychologically as other kids in a small study that suggests parental support may be the key.
Rates of depression and anxiety were equal in the study, which compared 73 transgender kids aged 3 to 12 with 73 nontransgender youngsters. The trans kids also fared as well on both measures as a group of their nontransgender siblings.
Rates of anxiety among trans kids were "a smidge higher" than national averages for children of the same age, but otherwise they matched national norms
