Breaking gender barriers: stories of four transchildren and their families

This study provides an in-depth understanding of the lived experiences of four prepubescent transgender children (male to female), and their families. It aims to provide a space for these children and their families' voices to be heard, in a society with a pre-established ideology about the expectations of anatomically born males and females. Using the meshing of case study and ethnographic techniques including, observations, interviews, and journaling, this study is an exploratory-descriptive analysis illuminating the strengths and challenges that this community faces.
