Protocol of a qualitative systematic review on the experiences and coping of gender creative children and youth <18 yrs. in relation to gender identity

• Our aim for this systematic review is to get an overview of the qualitative research conducted in the rapidly growing field of gender creative children and youth <18 yrs. By using the term “gender creative” all children and youth who do not identify with their gender assigned at birth are included, also those who do not call their gender identities “transgender” or some other term that fits under the transgender umbrella. We also believe the term has positive connotations nonrelated to medical/psychiatric diagnoses.We are interested in qualitative studies focusing on everyday life experiences of children and youth, such as relations with family and friends, experiences from school, free time activities, their health and/or gender affirming care, their feelings of self-worth, body image and coping, related to gender identity as phenomenon.    Our systematic review of qualitative studies (Methley, et al., 2014), the article searches and selection process are organized according to the framework of SPIDER (Cooke, Smith & Boothe, 2012) with the following research questions:1.     What are the experiences of gender creative children and youth <18 yrs. related to gender identity? 2.     How do they cope with these experiences?
