An estimated one in every hundred adolescent young people describe themselves as trans* or gender variant. Recent population data suggests this means there are 74,000 trans* or gender variant 10-19 year olds in the UK today. The vast majority of these may well not be apparent or be considered as LGB. With access to the internet and social media trans* young people now have the opportunity to create their emergent felt gender identity as their new selves and interact with others, form relationships in that way.
