I'd be mortified, but I'd hide it, and tell him to do what will make him happy.

Admittedly I would be shocked but you have to take factors into mind. How old is your Son? How long has he felt this way? Does he 'dress up' in secret? Is this a phase or become a way of life for him?
Regardless of anything though, he is your son and you must support him regardless of his sexual preferences. He is harming nobody with what he is doing and ultimately, it is his body. Yes, it will difficult for him, you and your family but if being a woman is what he really wants then nurture this - before it backfires and becomes damaging.

To tell you the truth I would be freaked out and maybe a little worried. Anyone would. I mean it's not everyday your son comes up to you and says he wants to become a woman, but although I would be freaked out and worried I would also be supportive because thats what he wants to do and you don't want him to be unhappy with himself all his life so be supportive. Thats what I would do!Good Luck!

Love him, support him and be happy that you have raised a child with the confidence to not be afraid say who he is and what he wants, despite the difficulties he will face. You love your kids unconditionally and I am sure you were the person he was worried about telling the most and you are the best person to get him through this and enable him to be the person he wants to be.
You have a brave lad there and he will be an equally wonderful daughter.

give it time it might just be a faze i had a cousin that told his mom the same thing when he was about 5 and they freak out .my mother told them to ask him why and just talk to him so they did and they told him they would love him no matter what .well now hes 29years old and is the biggest play boy i have ever seen he always has girl friends calling coming over and doesn't even remember telling his parents that .apparently i think it was do to him just having so many females in the family that when us girls would do something he would be left out .so being a kid his only thought was well if i where a girl i would be able to play with them too .that's what i think .but yes talk to your child and no matter what love love love them .............good luck

It is a tribute to you that he feels comfortable enough to discuss this with you.
Be strong, there are worse things that could happen to your child (think of all the parents that have lost their children).
You won't love him any less.
Get informed/educated as much as you can, show your support and find out his true reasons, emotions, future plans etc. by discussing the issue with him openly.

I would ask him why, and take it from there.
Depends on how old too. Sometimes boys get jelous of girls because of certain opportunities. I am kinda p!ssed about how females can push out males in certain areas.
Like the "curves" gym. No men allowed. But if guys opened a gym like "Macho" and said no women allowed, there would be a lawsuit.

I would be kind of surprised, that I hadn't notiuced tell tale signs.
If it was to become a reality, I would accept the situation, because of my love for my son.

I think "how would you react" and "how should you react" are two different things.
I don't have kids, but I guarantee I would do what others said and scream in horror or want to yell at him and ask him why.
But I do think it's important to try to understand him (or her).. lol.. and love them unconditionally.

If he was serious, and had been thinking about it for long, long time (I'm talking years), I would stand by him and support him as best I could. Inside I may feel a little deflated and confused, but I'd try and put my feelings aside.

this is very sensitive for your son so be there and understand why he wants to change his gender, unconditional love goes a long way, be there for him, and help him make his decision, it's his life, his body, so just support him in any way you can
