Little is known about the parenting experiences of mothers with trans young adults. Here, we conducted in-depth semi-structured interviews with 15 Israeli mothers of trans young adults (average age: 21.26) to examine their parenting experiences in terms of the motherly love concept. The mothers described their experiences under the motherly love concept, encompassing unconditional love, protection and self-sacrifice. The mothers presented how their interpersonal relations with their trans children developed through the axis of birth-loss-rebirth, which enhanced their emotional ties with their children. The mothers also described their involvement in social activism as an expression of devoted motherhood that articulated the motherly love concept. The mothers’ parenting experiences were simultaneously similar to, and different from, the motherly love concept, encompassing its essentialist and relational aspects alongside its subversive and socio-political elements.
