| Abstract |
Nonhomosexual male gender dysphorics often make their first requests for clinical assessment when they are in or approaching middle age. This study investigated how well patients' explanations for the timing of these requests fit the objective data. Subjects were 194 outpatients presenting for the first time at a gender identity clinic. Their common explanations for the timing of their requests were incorporated into a formal path model, which was tested using Bentler's structural equations program. The model provided an acceptable fit to the data. The more times a patient has been married and the more children he has fathered, the older he is likely to be when first presenting for clinical attention. This outcome is consistent with the claims of patients that they would have come to a gender clinic sooner if they had not been restrained by commitments to wives and children. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 5. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 24 June 2019.
All research outputs
#6,858,114
of 25,382,250 outputs
Outputs from Archives of Sexual Behavior
#1,998
of 3,739 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#5,894
of 21,428 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Archives of Sexual Behavior
#3
of 5 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,382,250 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 72nd percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,739 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 33.0. This one is in the 46th percentile – i.e., 46% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 21,428 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 72% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 5 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 2 of them.
