The participants:

Inclusion criteria for the present study were being born as a female or identifying with the female gender, being at least 18 years old, and having a self-identified SIC under the age of 14 years. Exclusion criterion was identifying solely with the male gender. The total sample consists of 50 participants (40 German speaking, 10 English speaking) and constitutes a subsample of the participants reported by Tozdan et al…. A total of 46 participants reported that they were female assigned at birth. Of those, 37 participants stated that they identify with the female gender, five indicated that they identify with both the male and the female gender, two indicated that they identify with another gender without further specification, and two indicated that they identify with no gender. Three participants were male assigned at birth. Of those, two participants stated identifying with the female gender and one indicated identifying with both male and female gender. One participant reported another gender at birth and reported identifying with both the male and the female gender….

Phew. Just a random sample, then…
