| Abstract (English): |
Fatherhood, understood as a social construction, implies recognizing that it is influenced by historical, social, and cultural factors that, in turn, shape the precepts of hegemonic masculinity and gender norms. However, intersubjective experience can give rise to alternative ways of signifying masculinity and fatherhood. Through this article, we seek to explain what fatherhood means for two fathers who show support for their trans daughters. We assume that social constructions of fatherhood and experience nuance the meanings fathers give to exercising their fatherhood and that the way they do so enables their support. A qualitative study and an analysis of these fathers' narratives were conducted. The findings allow us to realize that the fathers' support for their trans daughters and the way they show it are associated with components of both traditional and active fatherhood. It was found that within the meaning of fatherhood, protection, care, love, and seeking the happiness of their sons and daughters were valued, which were present even before knowing their daughters' gender identity.

| Abstract (Spanish): |
La paternidad entendida como una construcción social implica reconocer que esta se ve influenciada por factores históricos, sociales y culturales que, a su vez, moldean los preceptos de masculinidad hegemónica y las normas de género. No obstante, la experiencia intersubjetiva puede dar lugar a formas alternativas de significar la masculinidad y la paternidad. A través de este artículo pretendemos dar cuenta de lo que significa paternar para dos padres que muestran apoyo a sus hijas trans. Asumimos que las construcciones sociales de paternidad y la experiencia matizan los significados que los padres otorgan al ejercicio de su paternidad y que la manera en que lo hacen posibilita el apoyo. Se realizó un estudio cualitativo y un análisis de las narrativas de los padres. Los hallazgos nos permiten dar cuenta de que el apoyo de los padres a sus hijas trans y la forma de mostrarlo está asociado a componentes tanto de la paternidad tradicional como de la activa. Se encontró que dentro del significado de paternar se valoraba la protección, el cuidado, el amor y el procurar la felicidad de sus hijos e hijas, los cuales estaban presentes incluso antes de conocer la identidad de género de sus hijas.
