Abstract

Objective: To analyze the social network of mothers, fathers or guardians of transgender children or adolescents.

Methods: This was a qualitative study, based on the theoretical framework of social network, with a focus on the primary network. The study was conducted in Brazil through online interviews between August and October 2021. A total of 30 mothers, two fathers and one grandmother of transgender children or adolescents participated in the study. The thematic content analysis was performed using IraMuTeQ software.

Results: The theme "The family as the center of the network and the challenges in achieving transgender autonomy" emerged from the analyses. The family was identified as the first network, bearing the greatest responsibility. Weak and conflicted ties with relatives, friends, classmates and neighbors, highlighting the role of men.

Conclusion: The networks showed limitations in providing support and the need for strengthening. The analysis is an important tool for improving care, structuring policies and developing transgender-specific care pathways.

跨性别儿童和青少年监护人的社会网络。

目的：分析跨性别儿童或青少年的父母或监护人的社会网络。方法：以社会网络理论框架为基础，以初级网络为研究对象，进行定性研究。该研究于2021年8月至10月在巴西通过在线访谈进行。共有30位母亲、两位父亲和一位跨性别儿童或青少年的祖母参与了这项研究。采用IraMuTeQ软件进行主题内容分析。结果：从分析中得出“以家庭为中心的网络与跨性别自主实现的挑战”这一主题。家庭被认为是第一个网络，承担着最大的责任。与亲戚、朋友、同学和邻居的关系脆弱而矛盾，凸显了男性的角色。结论：网络在提供支持方面存在局限性，需要加强。该分析是改善护理、制定政策和制定跨性别护理途径的重要工具。
