Individual Differences in the Development of Gendered Speech in Preschool Children: Evidence From a Longitudinal Study.

The gender typicality of AMAB and AFAB children's speech is perceptibly different for children as young as 2.5 years old. Developmental changes in perceived gender typicality are driven by changes in the speech of AMAB children. The learning of gendered speech is not constrained or facilitated by overall speech and language skill.
