Reflecting on the rhetoric of adoption in trans youth care

Florence Ashley, “Reflecting on the Rhetoric of Adoption in Trans Youth Care” (2023) 2 Bulletin of Applied Transgender Studies 249–75

Abstract: Adoption is increasingly being discussed as an alternative to procreation for trans youth given the impact of gender-affirming medical care on fertility. In this article, I caution against idyllic views of adoption and offer a critical perspective on the social, political, and ethical dimensions of adoption. After reviewing adoption’s relationship to sexism, racism, imperialism, and cisheteronormativity, I sketch an alternative view of adoption as a complex and multi-valenced form of care in an unjust world.
