It was a rather discordant experience reading this article after reading OP’s other post on LGBTQ+ people and depression. (No shade on OP; both articles provide useful insights, and are worth a read. Thank you!)
The representations of “boys” and “girls” in this article are configured as strongly gender-conforming, cis and hetero in terms of their “typical” responses. That’s not a bad thing, but it is very limited.
People who are non-binary, transgender, or even gay/lesbian with some gender non-conforming personality components are likely to present with differing constellations of presenting symptoms, and thus to be overlooked.
