This study investigated how transgender parents negotiate “coming out” and pursuit of gender affirmation (GA) with their children and co-parents. Sixty-six open-ended survey responses and 38 one-on-one interviews conducted with Australian trans parents, aged 24–67 years, were analyzed using thematic analysis. The main themes were: (i) Anticipating their Response: “Coming Out” to co-parents and children; (ii) “Having that talk”—Negotiating disclosure of trans identity with co-parents and children; and (iii) Negotiating Gender Affirmation alongside Parenting. “Coming out” was experienced as both vital and a point of vulnerability, with GA necessitating communication and negotiation alongside parenting. Many participants reported significant anxiety before “coming out” to co-parents and children. Children’s age was an influential factor in reaction to changes in parental gender identity, with younger and adult children reportedly being the most receptive. Results are discussed in terms of the reported benefits of pursuing GA for trans parents.
