Abstract
This qualitative study explored parent’s experiences of their child undergoing gender transition. Data analysis yielded themes that begin to identify the complex nature and struggles parents face as they encounter the emotional and physical aspects of this transition. The focus is on the context of the family rather than the broader social context of school or community. The central question is: “What is the experience of parenting a transgender child?”
