Exploring the intersection of gender identity and homoparental family structure: Implications for educational, family and personal well‐being in Spanish students

This study explores the relationship among self‐perceived gender, family type (heteroparental or homoparental) and socioeconomic factors concerning various educational, family and personal well‐being domains. The data are derived from a large sample of 69,088 students from 465 schools (65% public; 35% private or semi‐private) in Spain. Five separate multi‐level generalized mixed (logistic or linear) regression models were calculated. Key findings include that non‐binary students from homoparental families reported lower evaluations in multiple dimensions, suggesting the need for additional support. Likewise, students from homoparental families exhibited lower personal well‐being and family relationship assessments, possibly due to perceived social stigmatization and peer bullying. This study sheds light on the complexities of gender identity and family type in educational settings, emphasizing the importance of addressing these issues for students' well‐being and academic success.
