Abstract

The chapter considers what it means to reflect on whiteness in a study of men, trans/masculine and non-binary people who were gestational parents. The chapter explores how consideration of whiteness played out in the study design, and then turns to consider some of the interviews with participants racialised as white, and how they both oriented toward and away from whiteness as a form of cultural capital. The chapter concludes by commenting on what it means to think about whiteness in the context of trans studies, signalling the importance of exploring both privilege and marginalisation in the lives of men, trans/masculine and non-binary people who are gestational parents.
