In this article, we examine vocabularies of motive concerning the possibility of transgender partners and children. Data from 20 in-depth interviews with (mostly white) cisgender college-aged women in the southeastern United States were analyzed to determine how they construct familial ideals predicated upon cisgender norms and assumptions. Participants respond to the possibility of transgender family members by mobilizing vocabularies of (1) claiming exemptions and (2) emphasizing difficulty. We draw out implications for understanding vocabularies of cisgendering family that create the conditions for transgender marginalization within families, and the consequences cisgendering family has for the reproduction of inequality.

跨性别的可能性和顺性别女性家庭的顺性别化

在本文中，我们研究了有关跨性别伴侣和儿童可能性的动机词汇。分析了对美国东南部（主要是白人）顺性别大学年龄女性的 20 次深度访谈的数据，以确定她们如何构建基于顺性别规范和假设的家庭理想。参与者通过动员（1）声称豁免和（2）强调困难的词汇来回应跨性别家庭成员的可能性。我们得出了理解顺性别家庭词汇的意义，这些词汇为家庭内的跨性别边缘化创造了条件，以及顺性别家庭对不平等再现的后果。
