How can you keep it from ur parents that u crossdress?

Question

i am a male teenager wondering what can i do to hide it from my parent that i crossdress. what ways can i use to hide it.

Answer 1

I would suggest waiting until you're in your own place before crossdressing. Parents don't usually understand those kinds of needs.

Answer 2

I've been Crossdressing all of my life. It is hard to hide the fact from your folks. Many will agree that the best thing is to tell them. But what they are not saying, it can cause more trouble than you can handle. But that relies on one's own family life style.

You really need to go very carefully here so you will not get hurt.

If your family is not supportive of LGBT, then you will have a very hard time in telling them. Believe me, I come from such a family.

Best thing right now is to limit your wardrobe to a few things that you can safely hide from discovery. Keep it small and simple in case you also need to purge. For those things a locked box hidden can work.

When you do get dressed, do it when no one is at home.

Of course you can always wear some underthings under your regular clothing as long as you're carefull.

I know that many will disagree with me, but every family is different and no two will react the same. Be careful and remember, crossdressing is not a sin, nor is it a mental problem. Crossdressing is just another facet of the human experience we all call life.

Answer 3

If you are hidding it, I would say you already have a family setting that is not supportive of deviant behavior. Any behavior outside of societal norms is deviant (which doesn't mean wrong, it just means it deviates from the norm). Which means that you will either have to stop crossdressing until you have your own place, or accept that sooner or later the parents will find out. The more you crossdress (or the more completely you crossdress), the more likely it is that something will be found. A great deal depends on what you think your need to cross dress is, and what your family situation is. Parents who are not open minded towards unusual behavior will have a time dealing with this. If your mom is supportive of you, you might try feeling her out on cross dressers and transvestites (same thing). If you are like many CD's, you can at least assure her that you are straight, you just like unusual clothing styles!

Answer 4

I have been a crossdresser all my life. I did not really come out about it to my parents or anyone else until the age of 45 or so. I would suggest you come out to others early. I feel I missed a lot in life by keeping it so secret.

Answer 5

it's very difficult to hide that fact because secrets have a way of revealing themselves. and sometimes you think that they don't know it yet, but sometimes you might be wrong.

if you want to keep it a secret i suggest that you keep all your stuff in a lock drawer or closet. i'm sure your parents will respect your privacy, but parents are naturally snoopy so, in time they might find you out.

i used to crossdress when i was younger (in high school), i would wear girl baby T's and make up. It was tiresome. Because i would be wearing male clothes when i go out of the house, and change to a baby t in a comfort room somewhere and apply a hint of make up.... i got fed up of the routine until i just started wearing what i wanted straight from home.

Sometimes it's a good thing to shock your parents because it's what they need. That's what i did to my entire family. It was no secret i was gay, so... there's no need to make things difficult for me or for them.... of course they would be ranting at you and giving you lectures. But they do learn to accept you in the end. It just takes time.

Just study well, pursue your education, don't get into bad habits such as drugs and things of that nature. we already have too much drama in our lives and drugs don't make things better. Build a bright and a better future for yourself. And when you have finally finished school and start to work, then you can finally start doing things that you really want in life.

Answer 6

first of all why not be honest with your parents about what you do they may not understand but you get it out in the open cause what is going to happen if you meet someone as acrossed dresser and you use a diffrent name say tammy instead of tommy and your mom says there is no one here by that name and when you saw the person latter they gave you the cold sholder cause you gave them the wrong answer good luck and just be honest with your parents or if you still want to hide it from them then just don't dress in girl clothes around them and hope that when you are out on your own that they never come by to see how you are doing with out calling first good luck and happy thanksgiving and merry christmas p.s. you might want to wait untill after the holidays are over to tell your parents you don't want to kill them good luck

Answer 7

abstain from crossdressing until you are moved out into your own place.

If your parents are extremist believers in "men wear pants, women wear dresses" they'll probably put you in some kind of therapy if they find you out. Is crossdressing worth all the consequences?

Answer 8

I WOULDN'T HIDE IT. I WOULD TELL THEM. I WOULD LET THEM KNOW THAT IF IT OFFENDED THEM THAT I WOULD TOTALLY KEEP IT AWAY FROM THEM. HOWEVER, THAT'S WHO YOU ARE. YOU ARE ADMITTING SHAME OF WHAT YOU DO IF YOU HIDE IT. ARE YOU GAY? OR JUST A CD? EITHER WAY TELL THEM. HIDING THE TRUTH FROM CLOSE LOVED ONES WILL EAT YOU UP INSIDE. THROW IT ON THE TABLE, GET IT OUT IN THE OPEN ( ALL OF IT) TIME WILL HEAL ILL FEELINGS, AND IF NOT THEN A LEAST YOU ARE BEING TRUE TO YOURSELF, AND IN LIFE YOU NEED THAT. IF YOU NEED TO TALK, I WILL CORRESPOND WITH YOU, OK. [e-mail] LIFE IS HARD BABY BOY, AND IT DOESN'T HURT TO HAVE SOME TO VENT TO AND TO BE ON YOUR SIDE. TO HIDE SOMETHING IS THE SAME AS LYING. THEN YOU END UP LYING ABOUT YOUR LIE. A HORRIBLE WEB TO WEAVE, AND ESPECIALLY AT SUCH A TENDER AGE. I MEAN IT WHEN I SAY I WILL SUPPORT YOU.

Answer 9

Eventually you will get discovered!

You can say, "It's my Sister's..." Well what is it doing in your room?.... Well, I washed it along with my clothes....


What a nightmare!

There were the couple of times that I dressed up around the house... Then I eventually stopped because I saw the disappointment in their eyes...

Funny they were OK with imagining what I might do sexually with another guy, but when I decided to do drag for Halloween? My God! They had a harder time with that!

Answer 10

Don't do it when they are around.

And don't tell them. That just might not go over well. Now, I don't know your parents, but I believe I can say with some certainty that most parents would not like to hear that their son is crossdressing.

Just avoid doing it when they might be around.
