How do you tell your parents that your a cross dresser?

My question is how do you tell your parents that your a cross dresser? I don’t really care about my old man, but mom…I don’t know how she would take it. I know that the first thing she would wonder is “are you gay”…and like most x-dressers I’m not, I just like lipstick, fingernail polish, and shoes. But I have no idea how I would convincer of this. I’m almost convinced I have to be drunk to tell her (you know liquid courage). Anyway, any advice?

Assuming you meant the first one, I would think that the best way to tell her would just be to let it out. First say it plainly, then elaborate as needed. If your mom is like most people, she's going to need a lot of explanations, as most people don't understand the need to identify with the opposite sex, let alone both at once. You might even have to explain it to her several times. But if you say it as simply as you possibly can, hopefully she'll at least be able to process it a little more smoothly. Just be absolutely honest with her, and explain that this is something that is going to make you happy and that makes sense in your life, even if it doesn't make sense in hers.





But assuming you meant the second question, that this is just something you do for fun, does she really need to know? I mean, I sometimes feel I have a close and personal relationship with my vibrator, but that doesn't mean I'm going to be telling my mom all about the special drawer in my nightstand anytime soon. There are just some things that parents really don't want to know about their kids.
Reply:U don't, as far as I'm concerned. Unless ur gay as well and feel like tellin em then go ahead, but I wouldn't.
Reply:it depends, if you just stay in when you do it, then why tell them?

Reply:Just don't tell.
Reply:tell them it makes you feel happy and good.. that you want them to accept you because you need not have to worry that this would bother them.. that you want to be happy and not disgrace them..
Reply:Don't do it drunk, that's about the worst way you could go, as far as giving your mom negative feelings about the whole business right off the bat. Sit her down and tell her basically what you just told us: "I am a crossdresser, and that means that I like wearing women's clothes and feeling pretty. Like most crossdressers, I am a heterosexual. gendered clothes have very little connection to sexual orientation." Etc. If you have any explanatory literature on hand, give her that when you tell her, so she can read about all the same things that you've just told her. Sometimes people accept things better in an official-looking written document than out loud.





Good luck!
