‘Transhausen by proxy’ describes narcissistic parents who may push transgenderism because they enjoy the attention from having a ‘trans kid.’

“Transhausen by proxy,” a term coined for narcissistic parents who push so-called “gender transitioning” on their children, may be playing a role in the sudden rise of transgender children, some experts say.

Celebrities are increasingly in the limelight with announcements about their children who come out as transgender or nonbinary. Nonbinary individuals identify as neither male nor female.

“Transhausen by proxy” isn’t an officially recognized psychological condition; it’s a play on an official condition known as Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy (MSBP). MSBP is a mental illness that’s also sometimes called medical child abuse or factitious disorder imposed on others. It’s exhibited mostly by women seeking attention by exaggerating or making up an illness of children or others in their care. 

Transhausen by proxy has very real effects on society, experts told The Epoch Times.

They point to headlines such as the one on Pride.com in May, which gushes: “15 Celebs Who Are Out & Proud of Their Trans & Nonbinary Kids.” The article praises stars such as Cher, Sade, Jennifer Lopez, and Charlize Theron for supporting their children who reject their biological sex.

Another article by Pink News details how UK television stars Carrie and David Grant claim that three of their four children are transgender or nonbinary.

Ms. Grant is a singer and voice coach. Her husband was part of the ’80s band Linx and worked with groups such as the Spice Girls. The couple told the publication that they had discussed alternate gender identities before their children “came out.”

They’re currently pitching their book, “A Very Modern Family,” on the topic of “understanding queer and neurodivergent children.”

But celebrities aren’t the only ones heralding transgender and nonbinary children.

Parents routinely post on social media cheering their children’s transition or advocating for “transgender rights.” Some parents have been featured in news articles for fleeing red states that block transgender procedures for children and moving to blue states where “gender-affirming care” is allowed.

The increase in cases of gender dysphoria and families with multiple transgender children have led some medical and mental health professionals to suspect psychological illness, such as narcissistic personality disorder, is involved.
