Question

if you find out that your brother is a cross dresser and he wants to change his gender (changing to woman) will you break all the ties with your brother or will you help him in changing gender and teach him what wome's do

Answer 1

I don't have any brothers or sisters, but why would I break ties with someone because they were a cross-dresser, I don't think there's anything wrong with that.

Answer 2

I would not break all ties, however I don't know that I would be that supportive. I would not be mean in any way though. All family members have something that the rest of the family may not get to some degree, this one just takes alot more getting used to. I would not expect my family to help me do something that they disagree with, but I would hope that they would try to understand and at least be tolerative.

Answer 3

Well, I think it would be difficult, I mean your used to having a brother not a sister. That said, I know I would not break off ties with him, and would help him all I could. It would be a hard decision for him to make and I'd want to support him in it.

Answer 4

I don't think you should go to any extremes at this time. During periods or stress, life changes, illness, etc. that is not the time to make permanent decisions.
You need to be honest with your brother. Say this is difficult for you and while you want to be supportive you will need him to work with you. Has had any professional counseling? You shoudl require that at a minimum. Maybe the counselor says great idea, get a sex change. Maybe not.

Answer 5

You seem to have crossdressing confused with transsexualism. Crossdressers enjoy dressing in clothing of the opposite sex but they do NOT desire to change gender or to become the opposite sex in any way...beyond dressing like that gender that is. Fifty years of research has demonstrated that crossdressing is much more common than most of us think. It is perfectly normal and natural for some people to prefer to live this way just as many more people have also tried on occasion just to see what it is like.

I would probably help my brother choose his fashions carefully so as not to look like a bobo.

Answer 6

I wouldn't break ties with him. If I were against it (which I wouldn't be) I would just be supportive and there for him. That doesn't necessarily mean I would encourage it. I am sure your brothers decision was not something he just thought of over night, and I am sure it took a lot of courage for him to admit what his true feelings were. It would be really sad if you cut all ties with him when all he was doing was confiding and being honest with you.

Answer 7

No matter what it is not right to break ties with him. Do you feel comfortable helping him change his gender? If you don't then You shouldn't but you can still support him in many different ways. He is still family.

Answer 8

Hell no I would not break all ties with him!!

Hopefully he would let me borrow his clothes if I got really fat!

I don't know how much help I would be but I would be as supportive as possible and try to learn how to help him more as that must be a difficult thing. I would go shopping with him for sure and if anyone flipped him any sh*t or made fun of him I would kick their homophobe as*es!!

Answer 9

he is your brother a family member you have been around all your life why then would you even think about breaking all ties with him ? it sounds like you are very close to him and love him very much, just ask your self is he treating you any different than he did before or is he just asking are you going to disown him for wanting to be what he feels is right for him.
if you love him it should not matter.

Answer 10

I would never break all ties with my brother--I would love him just as much if he told me he was gay, transgender, etc. I don't know that I'd voluntarily offer him advice about what it's like to be a woman, but I'd definitely answer any questions he may have, and do it truthfully.
