Abstract
Human figure drawings were collected from 50 gender dysphoric adults and compared with the drawings of 84 adult evening-school students and college sophomores. The gender dysphoric males drew a person of the opposite sex first more often than the control group males (p< 0.001). The gender dysphoric females drew a person of the opposite sex first more often than the control group females (p< 0.05). Results are discussed in light of existing literature on the DAP and gender identity formation.This publication has 16 references indexed in Scilit:
