The project at hand, which stems from my doctoral thesis, is qualitative in nature with a descriptive scope, and it situates itself within the tradition of feminist epistemologies. Both method and methodology center narrative and narrativity. For this study, four trans children and their family members participated during 2018 and 2019 in Mexico City. The results confirm existing research suggesting that families who carry out affirmative support foster closeness, trust and positive communication with their children. Developing diverse coping and negotiation strategies, these processes generate mutual learning potentials for families and children alike. The families strengthen the emotional health of their children through trans-affirming activities such as favoring a positive understanding of trans lives and encouraging their participation in safe spaces that diversify accounts of trans lives and work to generate peer support networks of care and mutual aid. Este artículo plantea una aproximación a los procesos que viven las familias que se decantan por un proceso de aceptacion y apoyo para sus hijes trans*. El proyecto, que se desprende de mi tesis doctoral, es de corte cualitativo con alcance descriptivo y parte de un posicionamiento epistemológico feminista. Tanto la metodología como el método se centraron en lo narrativo. Participaron cuatro niñes trans y sus familiares durante los años 2018 y 2019 en la Ciudad de México. Los resultados abonan a la evidencia señalando que las familias con un proceso de acompañamiento afirmativo fomentan la cercanía, confianza y comunicación con sus hijes, al tiempo que generan diversas estrategias de afrontamiento y negociación derivadas en aprendizajes mutuos. Las familias apuntalaron la salud emocional de sus hijes a través de acciones afirmativas como favorecer una comprensión positiva de lo trans, fomentar su participación en espacios seguros donde diversificaron sus referentes trans y generaron redes de apoyo entre pares desde las cuales se promueve el cuidado mutuo. Centro de Investigaciones Interdisciplinarias en Ciencias y Humanidades2024-03-06info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdftext/htmltext/xmlhttps://www.revistas.unam.mx/index.php/inter/article/view/8692510.22201/ceiich.24485705e.2024.32.86925INTER DISCIPLINA; Vol. 12 No. 32 (2024): Estudios trans; 163-185INTER DISCIPLINA; Vol. 12 Núm. 32 (2024): Estudios trans; 163-1852448-57052395-969X10.22201/ceiich.24485705e.2024.32reponame:INTERdisciplinainstname:UNIVERSIDAD NACIONAL AUTÓNOMA DE MÉXICOinstacron:UNAMspahttps://www.revistas.unam.mx/index.php/inter/article/view/86925/77012https://www.revistas.unam.mx/index.php/inter/article/view/86925/77013https://www.revistas.unam.mx/index.php/inter/article/view/86925/77014info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/869252024-08-16T17:46:50Z
