I do use “kin” sometimes, but I don’t think I would in a parental context. Interesting, though. Maybe it’s just me that thinks of “kin” as being a gender non-conforming form of “brethren”. Usually I use the word in a collective sense, too, as in, “All my homies love and support their trans kin.”
Probably a regional factor, but amongst my clan it’s generally used to refer to all living or now passed but once contemporaries family members both immediate and extended. The dead generally just get labeled ancestors past contemporaries not withstanding.
