| Summary: | First-hand accounts of how parents support their transgender childrenThere is a new generation of parents and families who are identifying, supporting, and raising transgender children. Their efforts—practical, political, intellectual—are part of a shift that has arisen in support of gender-nonconforming children, across schools, advocacy organizations, medical and mental health clinics, and especially online. In Trans-Affirmative Parenting, Elizabeth Rahilly interviews parents of transgender and gender-nonconforming kids, as well as medical doctors, endocrinologists, mental health practitioners, advocates, and educators, to present their fascinating stories. Rahilly explores how parents come to terms with conventional ideas about gender, sexuality, identity, and the body, including parents’ complex deliberations about nonbinary possibilities and medical interventions for their kids. Throughout these processes, Rahilly shows that parents’ decisions and understandings often counter contemporary LGBTQ advocacy positions, which have worked to resist overly medicalized and/or gender-normative views and expectations. For example, contrary to mounting societal emphasis on gender-fluid and nonbinary identities—and despite parents’ efforts to imagine options "beyond" the proverbial gender binary—Rahilly found that her interviewees’ children were often strongly binary-identified as boys or girls. In turn, for many of the parents, gender-expansive parenting ended up looking surprisingly "gender-stereotypical," per the children’s own assertions and expressions. In addition, many parents came to see transgender experience as strictly a biomedical condition, echoing their children’s own understandings of their bodies and their identities. While these perspectives may counter recent LGBTQ advocacy efforts, from a child-directed point of view, this is what supporting transgender children often looks like. Ultimately, Rahilly examines how parents can best advocate for transgender awareness while not reiterating the kinds of gendered and embodied expectations that has led to transgender stigma in the first place. In an era that is increasingly transgender-aware, the book offers provocative new insights into transgender children and the parents who raise them |

Verfasser (DE-588)1219915882 aut Trans-affirmative parenting raising kids across the gender spectrum Elizabeth Rahilly New York New York University Press [2020] © 2020 1 Online-Ressource (233 Seiten) txt rdacontent c rdamedia cr rdacarrier First-hand accounts of how parents support their transgender childrenThere is a new generation of parents and families who are identifying, supporting, and raising transgender children. Their efforts—practical, political, intellectual—are part of a shift that has arisen in support of gender-nonconforming children, across schools, advocacy organizations, medical and mental health clinics, and especially online. In Trans-Affirmative Parenting, Elizabeth Rahilly interviews parents of transgender and gender-nonconforming kids, as well as medical doctors, endocrinologists, mental health practitioners, advocates, and educators, to present their fascinating stories. Rahilly explores how parents come to terms with conventional ideas about gender, sexuality, identity, and the body, including parents’ complex deliberations about nonbinary possibilities and medical interventions for their kids. Throughout these processes, Rahilly shows that parents’ decisions and understandings often counter contemporary LGBTQ advocacy positions, which have worked to resist overly medicalized and/or gender-normative views and expectations. For example, contrary to mounting societal emphasis on gender-fluid and nonbinary identities—and despite parents’ efforts to imagine options "beyond" the proverbial gender binary—Rahilly found that her interviewees’ children were often strongly binary-identified as boys or girls. In turn, for many of the parents, gender-expansive parenting ended up looking surprisingly "gender-stereotypical," per the children’s own assertions and expressions. In addition, many parents came to see transgender experience as strictly a biomedical condition, echoing their children’s own understandings of their bodies and their identities. While these perspectives may counter recent LGBTQ advocacy efforts, from a child-directed point of view, this is what supporting transgender children often looks like. Ultimately, Rahilly examines how parents can best advocate for transgender awareness while not reiterating the kinds of gendered and embodied expectations that has led to transgender stigma in the first place. In an era that is increasingly transgender-aware, the book offers provocative new insights into transgender children and the parents who raise them Biomedicine Child-driven parenting Childhood socialization Disability Female masculinity Feminism Feminist parenting Gay Gender identity Gender nonconformity Intensive parenting LGBT rights movement LGBT studies LGBTQ movements Male femininity Medical-psychological establishment Non-binary Queer studies Queer Sexual orientation Social constructionism The body/embodiment The gender binary Tomboys Trans kids Trans studies Trans-affirmative parenting SOCIAL SCIENCE / Gender Studies bisacsh Gender identity in children Gender-nonconforming children Parents of transgender children Transgender children Familienerziehung (DE-588)4016409-3 gnd rswk-swf Geschlechtsidentität (DE-588)4181116-1 gnd rswk-swf Transgender (DE-588)7619945-9 gnd rswk-swf Eltern (DE-588)4014516-5 gnd rswk-swf Kind (DE-588)4030550-8 gnd rswk-swf Eltern (DE-588)4014516-5 s Familienerziehung (DE-588)4016409-3 s Geschlechtsidentität (DE-588)4181116-1 s Kind (DE-588)4030550-8 s Transgender (DE-588)7619945-9 s DE-604 Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe, Hardcover 978-1-4798-2055-9 Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe, Paperback 978-1-4798-1715-3 https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9781479833603 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext |
