Abstract
Nine of 11 boys with prepubertal discordance of gender identity/role have been maintained in follow-up until young adulthood. All are known to be homosexual or predominantly so. None is known to be either a transvestite or transexual, though one formerly began the real-life test for transexualism and quit after 6 weeks. All nine have completed some postsecondary education, and all are well-achieved or better, occupationally. Secondary psycho-pathology in adulthood has not been obviously manifest. There was a consensus in adulthood that the nonjudgmentalism of those responsible for their follow-up over the years had had a strongly positive therapeutic effect on the boys' personal development.
