Aspiring to become gay fathers
This article draws on Taiwanese gay fathers’ transnational reproductive experiences to conceptualise the ‘reproductive path (repropath)’ towards family-making. The data came from in-depth interviews with 53 (intended) gay fathers and participant observation. Building upon ‘queer orientation’ to reflect on the conflicting queerness and reproductive future, I propose the concept of ‘repropath’ that derives from the aspirations for gay fatherhood an…
Spreading love' or 'working holiday'? The narrative of altruistic rhetorics, financial motivations, and risks in domestic and transnational Taiwanese egg donation
Creating 'relational leeway' for implicit activism
This article explores lesbians' coming out strategies in Taiwan, focusing on their identity management and interactions with families. The data came from in-depth interviews with females who self-identified as lesbians. This article centres on lesbians' everyday lives and how their coming-out decisions were intertwined with familial relationships and goes beyond the dichotomous Western coming-out discourse. I demonstrate 'hiding', 'passing', 'unm…
Bargaining With 'Reproductive Capital
Scholars in the field of social studies of reproduction have recently turned their attention to the booming cross-border reproductive industry. In the case of gay men seeking donor ova and surrogacy to become fathers, there are issues of uneven accessibility and disparity between privileged intended gay fathers and comparatively less affluent women who offer reproductive labour. Despite being the first country in Asia to legalise same-sex marriag…

Gendering the beginning of life
Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) has been used not only to avoid genetic diseases and increase conception success rates but also to perform non-medical sex selection, particularly in the surging cross-border reproductive care (CBRC). In the context of commercialised biomedicine, assisted reproductive technologies, such as lifestyle sex selection, have been tailored to meet intended parents' preferences. However, there is a lack of analysis…
Queering reproductive justice
This article uses Taiwan as an example to argue that reproductive justice for gay men should be conceptualised within social, legal, and political contexts. Taiwan is the first Asian country to legalise same‐sex marriage, yet the law favours heterosexual couples and denies LGBTQ+ reproductive rights. Thus, Taiwanese gay men seek third‐party reproduction overseas to become parents. This article exemplifies gay men's unequal conditions from a non‐W…
