Inequalities manifest at every stage of human reproduction, as people form families and parent children under increasingly precarious conditions. Within emerging literature on trans parenting and reproduction, however, most studies focus on trans men and overwhelmingly center white people’s experiences. By conducting semi-structured interviews with 60 transgender women of diverse racial and class backgrounds, I will examine how race, class, and gender shape trans women’s ability to 1) become parents and to 2) sustain families. Derek explores how interpersonal relationships (i.e., with partners and communities) and institutional contexts (i.e., employment, health care, and the law) produce and reinforce these disparities. This project will contribute to several debates within the sociologies of gender and family. For example, how do people form parenting identities, what counts as family, and how do dominant mothering ideologies exclude and harm marginalized parents? Given that most scholarship, media, and advocacy involving trans women, especially trans women of color, focus on vulnerability or victimhood, my focus on family formation and parenting provides a much-needed and holistic understanding of trans women’s everyday lives. This research will be of interest to healthcare providers, movement organizers, and communities who are stakeholders on the issue of trans women and their families.
