from Part III - Lifespan Changes to Families and Relationships
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 December 2024
This chapter explores accounts of parenting, largely drawing on research that has focused on the views or experiences of children themselves rather than the perspectives of adults. In taking this approach, the chapter aims to consider how adultism shapes our understanding of children’s experiences in regards to diverse sexes, genders, and sexualities. A range of research focusing on the experiences of heterosexual children of LGB parents and the children of trans parents is discussed. The chapter also reviews research that reports on the experiences of young LGBTIQ people growing up, with a particular focus on well-being and resiliency. Overall, this chapter highlights the intersections of marginalisation and resistance for children whose lives are shaped by norms related to sex, gender, and sexuality.
