I just had a totally random thought after reading other threads about kids - :eusa_think:
Does such a trans family (trans parents AND trans children) exist? That would be so out of the world! heh
Maybe but it's probably and hopefully rare... being trans is just a rare birth defect and I don't think it's genetic.
One way I think it would be possible is if a transgender teen was kicked out by family and then adopted by understanding trans parents.
After I came out to my mom, she confided in me that she's always wanted to be a boy. She didn't feel right being a woman - she wanted to do boy things. She wasn't happy when she grew breasts. But she got used to it and accepted it. I guess she's not far enough toward the trans on the transgender spectrum to need to transition. She's an uber tomboy. I'm more girlie than her! I don't know if this counts as what you're looking for, but there you go. :)
Also, I have an aunt on my father's side who I consider gender queer. According to another aunt, she always wanted to be a boy, do boy things, wear boy clothes, short hair. She grew up to be a body builder. And a hair stylist who owns her own salon. She wears makeup now, but her look is ultra edgy and strong for a woman. I take some inspiration from her.
Something somewhere about a Czech family in Prague is tingling in my brain about this.

Are they in hiding? :)
I have heard of trans-couples, MTF/MTF, FTM/FTM, MTF/FTM... so I wondered if they would be more likely to adopt transgender children more than the natal people, since I am sure there must be transgender children in the adoption system but no one wants them...

It's something I've thought about. I plan to adopt one day, and I think it would be a great thing to give a good home to an otherwise unwanted lgbt kid.
