Higher scores on all measures indicate greater alignment with current gender identity.
Means (SDs) reported for all measures, except the current and future gender identity measures, which report the percentage of participants who responded with their current gender.
Technically, implicit gender identity scores could range above or below ± 2; however, in reality they seldom do.
