“Look, Here I am, I Do Exist.” Parenting Experiences of Trans People in Latin America: A Case Study Using the Biographical Approach
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This study explores the parenting experiences of trans people in Latin America from a feminist post/de(s)colonial perspective, theories of subalternity, and intersectionality. Using a qualitative multiple case study design, the research analyzes the challenges trans people face in exercising their parental roles, the resources they mobilize, and the tactics of agency and resistance they develop. Data were collected through semi-structured biographical interviews and the Intersectional Loom tactic, involving nine trans parents from Mexico, Chile, Venezuela, and Guatemala. Findings reveal that trans people face obstacles at socio-structural, institutional, and microsocial levels, shaped by cisheteronormative norms, and legal invisibility. Despite this, they mobilize social, legal, and personal resources, as well as relational and individual coping tactics, to affirm their identities and exercise parenting under adverse conditions. The study highlights the urgent need for comprehensive legal and social reforms in Latin America to protect and support trans parents and their families.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
