> The study, published in the journal Infant and Child Development, confirms that parenting quality — not parent gender identity — predicts child outcomes and aligns with previous research showing that parenting techniques and processes, rather than family structure, are the strongest influences on child wellbeing
> The study, the largest to date of gender identity and children’s development, included trans women, trans men and nonbinary participants. All 138 parents were over the age of 18 and had at least one child between the ages of one and 12
> While transgender and nonbinary parents reported higher levels of depressive symptoms — likely reflecting the impact of identity-based discrimination, Tornello said — their children showed no corresponding increase in behavioral difficulties. In families with cisgender parents, other researchers previously found that parental depression typically correlates with higher rates of child depression and behavioral challenges. The absence of this pattern suggests that transgender and nonbinary parents may be employing distinctive practices that buffer their children from discriminatory stress, according to the researchers.

I know 2 very successful men in their 40s who decided they were woman, both had multiple kids and ended up divorced. I’m sure sure they do as well as as any other kids of divorced parents, but the gender identity dysmorphia caused the dissolution of their families. You could control away that negative effect. I would suspect the timing of your gender transition is the most important factor as to how your kids are affected. But this is why having a model of the world is important. In their model the only reason these parents have worse mental health is discrimination, that is not my model of transgender people. My experience is people who change their gender late in life tend to be giant narcissists, this tends to be very different for people who are trans starting a family after transitioning, with a partner who has already signed on to their choices.
