In a study that will surely pop the single working brain cell of most conservatives, nearly 10% of high school students reported that they don’t identify with traditional gender labels, CNN reports.

Unlike previous studies which asked students if they were transgender or not, this study, conducted by the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh, asked students if they identified their gender descriptor(s) of choice:  “girl,” “boy,” “trans girl,” “trans boy,” “genderqueer,” “nonbinary,” and “another identity.”

Previous polls that asked simply whether or not the individual identified as transgender found that only 1.8% of students identified as transgender.  In this survey, however, 9.2% responded with something other than “boy” or “girl.”

“Our goal was to understand the prevalence of gender-diverse identities among high school students in our Pittsburgh school district by asking what we considered to be, and what many scholars consider to be, a more inclusive question about gender identity,” Dr. Kacie Kidd, a physician and adolescent medicine fellow, said. “We came in suspecting that this two-step gender identity question would demonstrate a higher prevalence of gender diversity than in prior studies.”

The survey participants came from 13 racially and economically diverse Pittsburgh area schools.  More than 3,000 students were surveyed.
