Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore the gender identity of people with learning disabilities as a precursor to considerations of gender dysphoria. Design/methodology/approach – Discussion supported by illustrations from the literature. Findings – There is limited research on gender identity for people with learning disabilities. Practical implications – There is an urgent need to look at how men with Klinefelter's syndrome and learning disabilities are supported in relation to common female sexual characteristics. Originality/value – This is personal perspective on gender and people with learning disabilities which may support work with people who question their gender.
