In this dissertation, I explore the social forces that generate and restrict gender progress by examining the experiences of forty-five parents who self-identify as raising and supporting transgender and gender-diverse youth. Using data from semi-structured in-depth interviews, I analyze the circumstances under which hegemonic gender schemas that sustain gender inequality are challenged and reinforced as parents work to make space for their children's gender diversity in a culture structured by the gender binary. I consider how these parents develop alternate understandings of gender themselves, how they navigate the gender binary on behalf of their children, and how they respond to social resistance from family, friends, and institutions that subscribe to hegemonic gender ideology.

520 $a In this dissertation, I explore the social forces that generate and restrict gender progress by examining the experiences of forty-five parents who self-identify as raising and supporting transgender and gender-diverse youth. Using data from semi-structured in-depth interviews, I analyze the circumstances under which hegemonic gender schemas that sustain gender inequality are challenged and reinforced as parents work to make space for their children's gender diversity in a culture structured by the gender binary. I consider how these parents develop alternate understandings of gender themselves, how they navigate the gender binary on behalf of their children, and how they respond to social resistance from family, friends, and institutions that subscribe to hegemonic gender ideology.
520 $a My analysis demonstrates that parents, and mothers, in particular, are contributing in powerful ways to creating trans-affirming, gender inclusive change in their communities, while also challenging harmful aspects of dominant gender ideology that sustain inequality between men and women. These include challenging the congruence of sex and gender, acting as moral authorities who validate and legitimize non-hegemonic beliefs and encouraging the organization of children within educational and extracurricular settings along lines other than gender, effectively reducing the salience of gender in those environments. In reckoning with the gender binary on behalf of their children, however, mothers also reinforce core aspects of hegemonic gender ideology by exemplifying cultural expectations of intensive mothering and perpetuating essentialist ideology that attributes gender identity and expression to biological imperatives and equates womanhood with caretaking and nurturance.
520 $a This work contributes to a growing body of research on supportive families of transgender and gender-diverse youth, who have only recently come into public consciousness. It expands on the existing literature in the field by focusing on the ways that the gendered organization of the family intersects with material pressures to affect parents' efforts to adopt trans-affirming beliefs and practices in response to their children's gender difference. Additionally, this research contributes to gender scholarship that identifies hard-to-detect and deeply embedded ideology and practices that sustain the gender hierarchy.
