How can I tell my parents that I like to cross dress?

Im still a closet cross dresser, but would kinda like to be able to freely wear womens clothing around my house whenever I am home. How can I break it to my parents that I like to wear these kinds of cloths? I really love wearing skirts, dresses, VS yoga pants and velour, thongs and bra's, and would like to wear it more often, but not outside of my house.

Thanks!

    Well its never going to be an easy thing to bring up of course, it really depends on how open minded your parents are. If you find it hard to say the words then maybe you could write a letter explaining how you feel. If you get on well with your mum then maybe you could just tell her as it may be easier for her to understand than your dad.

    If you cant bring yourself to talk to her then i guess you could just get "caught" either wear some underwear around the house that could "accidently" show under your normal clothes or leave things in your room where they will be seen.

    It would be good if you can beopne about this it was the best thing that ever happened to me when my mum found out and accepted me for who i am when i was about 12

    Good luck x

    How old are you? Are your parents apt to kick you out or become violent towards you if/when you tell them?

    If so, don't.

    Otherwise, the best way to go about it would be to sit down and talk with them. Have resources and links ready to answer any questions and concerns that come up.

    You could just wear it and see their reaction.

    It's probably the easiest way.

    You are a minor. Tell your parents that you need therapy for a gender identity disorder. They will understand and will gadly help you.
