No gender question stands alone
What else might be at play here
In just a few years, "being trans" has become the label many young people turn to when they feel down. But what lies beneath is often something else. The Transcheck addresses those other aspects — not because they "get in the way," but because they are usually the real question.

The most frequently asked questions about the check, the myths that come up most often, and the most recently added terms.
Most asked questions
A free online check with 50 yes/no questions for anyone wondering: am I trans? You get a personal result immediately on your screen. No account, no email, no costs.
No. No online test can make a diagnosis. Nor is there any biological or medical test from which you can deduce that. The Transcheck points out patterns in your answers and helps you consider whether other factors are at play.
Yes. You do not need to enter a name or email address. Your answers are not linked to any person. No one will call you later, and you will not receive any emails. What you answer remains between you and your screen.
Approximately 10 minutes. You answer 50 questions, one per screen, using Previous and Next. You can go back in between to modify an answer.
No. Your answers are not forwarded to a GP, school, parents, or a care provider. They are not linked to your name or email address. No profile is being built about you.
Let the child do the check themselves, without you looking over their shoulder. Afterwards, you can discuss the outcome, but without criticizing or seizing it. What helps for every child, regardless of the outcome: physical activity, real-life friends, less screen time, structure, and something to look forward to.
Not helpful: talking about it in a family WhatsApp, calling a psychologist "because you have to," or dismissing the check as a "counter-test."
Myths under the microscope
What's factually true: waiting is what the long-term data points to as wise. 70-90% of children with dysphoria were no longer dysphoric after puberty — if not medically treated (Drummond 2008, Wallien & Cohen-Kettenis 2008, Singh/Bradley/Zucker 2021). That's a majority not pushed towards hormones by waiting.
What is actually cruel: pushing a twelve-year-old girl into mastectomies by the age of seventeen. That has happened. That's now court material, because it's becoming ever clearer that this wasn't the care she was promised.
What's factually true: criticising a medical treatment model with weak evidence is not hatred. The Cass Review was led by a prominent paediatrician on commission from the NHS — not by protesters with placards.
The "transphobic" label is used to silence questions. That works sometimes — but it doesn't change that the questions are still there, and that the answers, in more and more countries, lead to revision of protocols.
What's factually true: what activists claim as "trans people in other cultures" (Two-Spirit, Hijra, Fa'afafine) is historically and anthropologically something different — often a third role for homosexual people or people who didn't fit heterosexual mating roles, not the modern "born in the wrong body" identity.
The current trans identity in its Western form is largely a phenomenon from after 1950, sharply accelerated since around 2010. That's not a problem in itself — attributing it to "eternal human experience" is a misrepresentation of history.
New in the glossary
All termsWPATH / SOC8
World Professional Association for Transgender Health and its care guidelines (Standards of Care version 8). Activist organisation, not an independent scientific body. Internal communications (leaked in 2024 as the "WPATH Files") show that the organisation itself has doubts about its own protocols — which it does not voice publicly.
Cass Review
Independent investigation (2024) led by Dr. Hilary Cass, commissioned by the NHS, into the state of gender medicine for children and young people in the United Kingdom. Conclusion: the evidence for the current approach is "remarkably weak". Led to the closure of the Tavistock clinic and revision of protocols in several European countries.
MAP — Minor-Attracted Person
Euphemism for "paedophile". Coined in online communities to normalise the term by making it part of a "queer identity". Not adopted on this site: a MAP is a paedophile.
Deadnaming
Using someone's original (often: only legal) name when they have adopted a new name. Not a disease, not violence — just calling someone by name.
Misgendering
Addressing someone with the pronouns or sex designation that match their biological sex, instead of their declared identity. Described in activist language as violence; clinically and legally it is not.
Detransition
Reversing a transition — socially, medically, or both. Sometimes fully (back to original name, pronouns, body where still possible), sometimes partially. Figures are kept low by activist sources ("less than 1%"); realistic figures from longer follow-up suggest 10-30%.
