Abstract: University students, masked to group status, judged the physical attractiveness of girls with gender identity disorder and clinical and normal control girls, whose photographs were taken at the time of assessment (mean age, 6.6 years). Each student made ratings for all girls for five traits: attractive, beautiful, cute, pretty, and ugly. A multivariate analysis of variance showed a significant group effect. Multiple comparisons of the significant univariate effects showed that the girls with gender identity di… Show more

“…The present results are also consistent with research demonstrating relations between physical appearance and status for girls (Graham et al 1998) and attractiveness and femininity in children with gender identity disorder (Fridell et al 1996; McDermid et al 1998; Zucker et al 1993). For instance, college students rated boys with gender identity disorder as more attractive (Zucker et al 1993) and girls with gender identity disorder as less attractive (Fridell et al 1996) compared to the ratings for the same-gender control groups.…”

The results of these studies suggest that attractiveness is positively associated with femininity regardless of the target’s gender.…”

In fact, studies that include children with gender identity disorder suggest that both boys and girls who are more feminine are considered more attractive (Fridell, Zucker, Bradley, & Maing, 1996;Zucker, Wild, Bradley, & Lowry, 1993).…”

“…example, about 50% of girls with GID demand that their hair be cut extremely short so, along with their clothing preferences, often are perceived by naive others as boys (Fridell, Zucker, Bradley, & Maing, 1996;McDermid, Zucker, Bradley, & Maing, 1998).
