| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
From interviews conducted with parents who have transgender children, it was suggested that parents of FTM (Female-to-Male) children have experienced various conflicts and struggles in parenting even before their child's coming out, and these experiences serve as a foundation for their subsequent psychological transition. The interactions with their child prior to confronting their gender and the level of family support play a significant role. The more supportive the family environment and the stronger the pre-confrontation relationship with their child, the more positive their ability to reconstruct their own sexuality and, consequently, their psychological acceptance of their child's gender concerns.
This analysis applies a psychoanalytic perspective that views sexuality in old age as a continuum of sexuality experiences that originate in early childhood, rather than simply as decline or disappearance.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
昨今のLGBTQへの社会的認知度は飛躍的に向上しているとはいえ、当事者の心理的な苦痛、親の対応の難しさは変わらずあるのが現状である。本研究より、FTMの子をもつ親とMTFの子をもつ親とでは質的に大きな差異があり、その心理的変遷も親個人の幼年期より培われたセクシュアリティ観が大きく影響していることが示唆された。
これらの研究結果は、当事者や親の心理面を支援する援助職の臨床上のヒントとなるだろう。
