How do I tell my parents I like to cross dress?

Favorite Answer

Please Ignore Jake, he apparently still has the mentality that "crossdresser is a gay guy who wears a dress"

While I can understand your desire, 13 is a little young to be making a pronouncement of this sort to your parents. You just came into puberty and your hormones are raging all over the place. I'm not saying that you may not be a crossdresser, just that you haven't had the time to give some thoughtful consideration to what being a crossdresser means.

You've already seen the reaction of people who choose to have a very simplistic view (jake) rather than delve further into the subject. Most Crossdressers are hetero, they can be male or female, they do not want SRS and they are happy with their physical body for the most part (what teen isn't stressed about how their body is developing)

But at 13, you have a lot of growing up to do, be a kid while you can and enjoy the lack of responsibility for going to work, putting food on the table, a roof over your head and clothes on your back. Learn the skills you need for later life and marvel at the world around you while you soak up everything that you can.

Get to know why crossdressing is so pleasurable and how to NOT let it control your life or get into the binge/purge sessions that so many do. Learn from others as to not reinvent the wheel. Good luck....Show more

Don't tell them, why do gay men (I assume your gay) feel the need to be all feminine, just dress like a guy. I understand homosexuality etc etc since I am gay. But for the life of me I don't see why people need to wear womens clothes, perhaps do it as a joke or laugh every now and then but why would you want to walk around dressed like a girl regularly. You can buy perfectly good jeans or trackies and t-shirt/shirts, and get a nice hair cut and look smart and attractive. Personally I think it gets a bit weird and annoying when you feel the need to wear a dress and prance around in it because that is optional, sexuality is not. Be gay but still be a man since you are one, not a sissy. I'm sorry if this is a little harsh and I don't mean to come across as nasty but come on mate just do it every now and then for a joke, no need to tell your parents....Show more
