Objective:
This study aims to analyse the transition process experienced by mother/father dyads when they recognise their children's gender dysphoria.
Methodology:
The study employed a qualitative approach, based on interpretative description and the theoretical support of the transitions theory, in which 10 dyads participated. The interviews were conducted using a semi-structured script, recorded, transcribed, and subjected to reflective thematic analysis.
Results:
Revealed a central theme: transitioning together. This entails the facilitating and inhibiting factors that best describe the experiences of these dyads.
Conclusion:
The theory is a resource for healthcare professionals to recognise phenomena that help or hinder the transition processes of children and adolescents.
