Based on the life course theory, moments of transition and turning points were identified, as well as social influences such as historical time and place. Thereby, this study contributed to a better understanding of trans youth's GI developmental trajectories in the Portuguese context, where the study on this topic is still emergent, also contributing to inform the path to be taken at the international level regarding socio-legal policies concerning trans youth.
