Young people need us to see them as they are, and adults are off the mark, a study say
With increased reports of depression and bias-based bullying among people who identify with terms including nonbinary, transgender and pansexual, now may be time for the adults of the United States to become more inclusive, a new study shows.

There is more we can do to make our kids feel seen, accepted and secure -- and it starts with adding more terms forgender identity and sexual orientation to the official forms we give them, according to a new study.
Researchers in Minnesota analyzed data from students across the state in grades eight, nine and 11, finding that a significant portion of the youth population identified with terms including lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer, pansexual, transgender, genderqueer, genderfluid or nonbinary.
