Gender Preoccupation and Stability Questionnaire Score --> [calc value="score=(Q1)+(Q2)+(Q3)+(Q4)+(Q5)+(Q6)+(Q7)+(Q8)+(Q9)+(Q10)+(Q11)+(Q12)+(Q13)+(Q14)" memo="score"] out of 70 points.

[select name="Q0" value="extremely confident=1|confident=2|somewhat confident=3|not very confident=4|not at all confident=5"] <-- Do you feel confident that you will be able to lead a satisfied life with whatever gender identity you feel that you currently have?

The GPSQ consists of 14 questions relating to your thoughts and feelings about gender, including your sense of gender identity. Gender refers to whatever gender you identify as yourself (e.g., masculine, feminine, transgender, gender-queer or other gender variants), which may or may not be the same as your biological sex.

When answering these questions, please circle the answer that best reflects your thoughts and feelings over the past two weeks.
