Original Note:
The media does cover this research. These studies find that children who veer from gender norms (e.g. feminine boys and masculine girls) are singled out by bullies and others for various types of abuse. Here’s an example from 2012: https://www.cnn.com/2012/02/20/health/child-gender-nonconformity/index.html And 2022: https://news.vumc.org/2022/02/24/study-finds-lgbq-people-report-higher-rates-of-adverse-childhood-experiences-than-straight-people-worse-mental-health-as-adults/
