i am a crossdresser how do i break the news to family and friends?

Answer 1

You could write a letter? Or maybe just tell them if you think they'll be comfortable?

Either way, maybe these sites can help you?

And have you considered talking to a local help line maybe for help?

Answer 2

I also cross dress sometimes, and told my close friends almost immediately...

I think when I told them, I discussed with them how I came to cross dress...I explained that it was a random thought one day, and that thought caught on, so I acted on it, and plan on continuing to cross dress.

For the most part, they were okay with it...but the major problem I seemed to encounter was that they thought I wanted to be a guy. They wanted to know why I was doing it, and when I explained it, they didn't understand. I had to make sure they were clear on the fact that I am not transgendered, I simply like to dress like a guy sometimes.

Honestly I can't tell you they were thrilled with the idea, but if your friends are anything like mine, they will love you regardless of your lifestyle. You might want to try telling them how you thought of crossdressing, a basic idea of what you find appealing about it...and just be open to their questions, try to answer them honestly if you can. They are probably just trying to understand you by asking a lot of questions.

I would NOT recommend cross dressing around them immediately. After they have gotten a little more comfortable with the idea, you could talk to them about it, ask if they would be okay with you dressing around them. One of my friends said no, which I respect, because she would feel uncomfortable. I'm glad she told me beforehand, rather than waiting to tell me later that she was upset by it.

As for family...I'm not so sure, I haven't told them yet. But you may want to Google "Miqqi Alicia," who is a cross dresser...he is also a university professor, and on his website he talks about dressing at work and with his family.

Best of luck to you! :)

Before you actually decide to do so, have you thought of joining a cross dressing group in town? You may find that some GLBT groups offer discussion groups on this subject. By joining, you can get different perspectives from people on how they told their families.

Answer 4

you relatively purely ought to sit down down them down, and be honest. Say something like, "mom, dad, some weeks in the past I had intercourse with my boyfriend, and that i found out that i'm pregnant." My spouse (female chum on the time) did that once she instructed her mothers and dads. Then, you ought to enable them to react, and that they maximum probable could have questions. you ought to respond to the questions, and be calm once you answer them. Telling your mothers and dads you're pregnant is on no account hassle-free, yet you ought to constantly stay calm whilst telling them. in the event that they get offended, attempt to no longer yell at them returned, in view which will purely reason a controversy. I choose you the final of success.

I wouldn't "show and tell". Tell them dressed as they know you. It's not a time to show off your fashion sense. I think it is wonderful that you are willing to tell them and I hope they see it that way as well.
