UK study in England. Interviews found 3 themes among transgender parents. Parenting in a highly normative world, being a pragmatic parent, and being a pioneering parent.

Being a pragmatic parent led frequently to not disclosing their trans identity or chosing to not continue with the medical system during their pregnancy. Being a pioneering parent led to participants describing increased resilience and creating new places that were welcoming to themselves and their identities.Nonbinary, Trans Men, Trans Women, Pregnancy
