Since your son crossdressers what storeis would you take him too? Would you buy him girls clothes FIRST?

Question

Or would you take as a boy and dress him up as the day goes on? Including make up getting his nails done and maybe a wax if he would need it?

What stores would you shop at city and state if you would like?

Answer 1

you should just ask him what kind of clothes he likes and his style. Then you could take him out on a mini shopping spree or something to all his favourite stores. If he needs a wax or nails done you can come along as a bonding sort of thing. But most importantly just let him know that you support him in his decisions.

Answer 2

First of, he's very lucky you're so supportive.
Let him choose how involved you are in that. Maybe give hints that you'd be okay with either by going into a department store at the beginning of a shopping trip and pick up a shirt/skirt in the girl's section that would look good on him and say "oh, look! How cute is this?" Either he'll agree or disagree and maybe point something out more his taste. Or mention that a local beauty parlor is having a discount on manicures and say you're going, and if there's anything he'd like done. Make sure it's him who's directing the relationship, though. Give opportunities, and if he doesn't take them, at least he'll know you're there when he's ready.
Also, it would depend on why the son is crossdressing. If they're transgender, then treat her as a girl, and get support at any local LGBT place. That's why they're there :)

Answer 3

Well, if this hypothetical son of mine was open about it I'd just take him to the mall with me and let him pick the stores with the styles he likes. I'd just make sure he left the house looking presentable, not all sloppy or something. If he's a bit shy, I'd probably start with the stores that sell guy and girl clothes, like Gap, or Express and go from there. If he's more open and comfortable I'd just as well walk into Forever 21, Charlotte Russe, or the Limited, or if he's a bit husky, Lane Bryant (or as some of like to say, Lane Giant).

Makeup...well, I say go to Mac, they're good at showing you what works, and they're more on the trendy side, as opposed to little old ladies (or even worse, stuck-up 20-somethings that will sell you anything just to make a sale) working the cosmetics counters at the department stores. Once you find a look that works, Sephora is a good place to go for variety.

Nails and waxing...that's one of those every-now-and-then or special occassion things. Sure I might pay to have it done once in a while. But if he wants to get it done on a regular schedule, then it's more "Save your allowance/chore money and treat yourself to that."

But please, don't make me go shoe shopping...

FYI - I live in San Diego, California. I'd most likely hit Fashion Valley mall, then in descending order of preference: Horton Plaza (parking structures sux! I've lost my truck in there more than once), Mission Valley mall (crowded, sorta draws a bit of a ghetto-ish crowd), and last North County Fair (it's a long drive from where I live but it is nice) uh...the rest are kinda cr@ppy.

Answer 4

that was basically me a few years ago, but my mom never did start hating me for doing it until later on but when i was around 10 or 11 my mom would say were going to the store or somewere fun and drag me along, then would drive out in the middle of no were and ask me if i wanted to be a girl, first thing i did was get mad and deny it , second reason i denied it is cus i used to fight alot in the 2nd grade and was sent to a shrink to get the "hate" out of me so i figured my parents would send me again to another shrink to get my transgenderness out of me. and no i wouldn't buy him girl clothes since that would be sending the signal that you know about his crossdressing and that might stop him from doing it, but then again if it keeps him out of moms stuff go right ahead

Answer 5

I actual have considered an effective many adult males save on the Goodwill contained in the girls's clothing. no one pays any interest to at least one yet another. we are too fascinated in searching deals. they have inner most dressing rooms so that you would have privateness attempting on clothing. i'd say in case you gown as your organic sex, no one may even furnish any remark. yet in case you flow dressed and thought of outlandish, you need to be centred anyplace you went. So i imagine you're secure on the better thrift shops.

Answer 6

It would depend on his age. I wouldn't through a tantrum, but I would try to assess where he needs to go. If he were transsexual I would do everything in my power to make her life and transition as comfortable as possible. Knowing that 20% of transsexuals attempt suicide, I would make sure she had a good gender therapist.
