What if your son likes wearing girls clothes?

Answer 1

Answer

Absolutely you should not stifle your sons desires--what does dressing like a girl mean anyway. Girls wear boys clothing and it is ok. So why not let a boy swear girls clothing. What are girls afraid of; letting a boy discover their territory. My brother wore my clothing all the time and was a better person for it. I used to dress him up in my soft flowing chiffon dresses every weekend and make him wear high heels and soft silky sheer cute bikini panties. He would sleep in sheer babydolls and sheer panties to match and he and I loved it. Our parents did not care what we did as long as we did not bug them so he became my little sister and we got along great. I even noticed he got aroused when wearing the nice girly panties and babydolls and all the better for him. It used to make me laugh that his little thing got so hard when putting on panties and a slip. I never understood it but thought it was fun to watch it get big under the panties. There was just something about an erection under sher panties that I liked and I now make my husbnad wear womens panties a lot. Let him have his fun and maybe he will want to become a woman..good for him if he does.

AnswerNo because he's a little boy. If he is going through a phase he will eventually outgrow this. if you say more to him he will continue as to where if you ignore it, he'll stop. Because little sometimes likes to put on high heels, and where make up because he is explroring different things that are new to him. AnswerTough question. If your talking about a child that isn't in school yet, then dress up isn't detrimental to how they will be when older. If your talking about a school age child, then no not to school but how do you stop them from wanting to wear it out of the house otherwise? I don't know how old the child is so you need to get to the bottom of why he wants to dress like a girl. There is a site called PFLAG that may be able to help answer your questions.

also how old is the child?

Let him at it and have fun.

ANSWER

Sure I would dress him like a girl. It is good for boys to experience girls things. I have dressed my son (age 14) in my bra, panties, slip, thigh high stockings, satin dress and heels many times and fixed his hair, makeup and nails. He loves the attention and so do I. We spend the day as girls and have our girl day every Saturday and Sunday. He now is sleeping in silky lacy feminine satin nightgowns and wears nice nylon panties everyday with a camisole under his guy clothing at school. By 16 he wants to start estrogen and I am thinking sooner. He is a nice 5'5" now and want to keep him short so he can wear regular dresses and not have a problem. I love her and know she wants this. so why not.

Answer

This is more common than people think and I believe character building for a boy to dress as a girl, why not let a boy experience the same feelings and emotions that any child might have, be it a boy or a girl after all its' perfectly okay for a girl to receive a compliment from a man saying how pretty she looks in her dress, but somehow it would sound wrong if he said I would like to wear a dress like that. I remember quite clearly the first time my mother asked me if I would like to go to the girl next door birthday party wearing a dress, my reply was'NT no, but will I look silly in it. She told me girls don't look silly wearing a dress they look pretty and all the girls will be in dresses at the party. At this time of my life I did not know there were physical differences between girls and boys, so in my innocence I assumed it was only the way you were dressed that made you a boy or a girl. With that simple logic I not only agreed to wear a dress but really wanted to. The day of the party came with my mother dressing me in the prettiest little party dress, a full and fluffy petticoat with matching knickers which was last years party dress from the girl next door, I felt very flattered when she said I was a very pretty little girl. I since found out in later years my mother stopped them from taking it to a charity shop as she thought it would fit me and could not resist taking it, as it was to pretty to be thrown out. I enjoyed that day playing with all the other girls and have spent many many times since being dressed as a girl.

I see no harm in being girly and feminine it has made me a better person and to this day I could not just dress in mens clothes as I would miss wearing pretty things.

It's true I am very lucky and to have been introduced to feminine ways which is just natural to me as my whole life has been led this way.

I enjoy shopping for clothes with my wife as we always choose pretty knickers together we see it as a girly day out and a special closeness is between us because of having a feminine side to me especially.

Enjoy being girly, feel good about being called it girl it's a great compliment.

I am 60 now but at my earliest memory my mom always made sure I had panties, slips, Bras etc. I think it was very bonding. It was so exciting to go to the lingerie department with her when she bought clothing for her and me. It was sometimes a little embarrassing at first when my mom had the sales lady take my measurements and have me try on dresses in the store but after awhile I got to enjoy it. it was a bi monthly shopping trip to the store and usually the same gray haired sales lady. She even greeted me by calling me little lady after awhile.

Below are OPINIONS from the WikiAnswers Community.AnswerYou know deep inside this is not normal behavior for your son and most young men don't go around dressing up like a girl. It's time to sit down with your son and ask him straight out if he feels he is gay. He may not know what he is at this point and there is no shame in that. He may simply be a "cross dresser" which means he likes to wear women's clothing. I just saw a program on cross dressers and the men led perfectly normal lives ... were married, had children, went to work and once he was home, the kids were in bed, he dressed up in women's clothing. Some of the wives accepted it and lived with it and others couldn't cope with it.

Whatever happens, be blessed he's alive and healthy and if gay, support him all you can, and if he wants to dress up in women's clothing in private then accept that, but it's highly dangerous for him to dress up like a woman for the summer. His peers could be very cruel and harmful to him. I don't think your son realizes this.

Try talking your son into seeing a psychologist to straighten out his thoughts (not straighten out who he is inside!)

AnswerStart small. Dress up at home, maybe go shopping dressed up like a girl. Maybe a weekend trip full time as a girl. And sure, why not spend a summer as a girl while he can still pass for one. Get lots of pictures.

Your approach and handling as appropriate would/should vary depending on how old your son is. However, as a lifelong transvestite I am quite certain that no matter what his age, if he has asked to dress as a girl all summer, he already knows very well "what it is like" and he likes it very, very, verrrryyy much! I would also guess from his request that he is at least 13 years old. If so, he is old enough to already know what he wants and he is probably wondering whether he is a transvestite or a transexual. He could not pick a better age to get the answer to that question. In my opinion, here is the bottom line: Eventually he will indulge in crossdressing somehow, someplace, sometime and the sooner the better by his deepest desires. If your son was going to drink alcohol and smoke pot no matter what, would you not prefer that he do so at home under your watchful eye, rather than someplace outside the house with people you do not know and may never meet? Consider yourself facing that question because that could be your and his reality. You have two options: 1) the WRONG one: disown him, or 2) the no-brainer RIGHT one: embrace him and his crossdressing desires with all your love and support. If the social wisdom and maturity level of our society had been what it is today when I was his age, and my mother had been able to know about and embrace my crossdressing desires, I would have stayed out of a heck of a lot of trouble, felt good about myself growing up, probably would have gotten straight A's all through school and been the picture of absolute success, happiness and wealth from then on.

There are two broad classes of boys who crossdress. One are simply crossdressers (which has replaced the older term, transvestite) and the other are transsexuals. Crossdressers enjoy experimenting with wearing the clothes of the opposite gender. This can start about age 4 or 5 but can arise at any time. Usually, crossdressers come from families where the mother has a stronger relationship with the son than he has with his father and where women are seen as the dominant gender. Sometimes, the son gets the impression that the mother wanted a girl instead and there are instances in which a boy may be crossdressed by such mothers at an early age. By contrast, transsexuals feel they have been born into the wrong body. Research indicates that this "gender identity" is formed in the child's brain before birth and that the child has what is known as Gender Identity Disorder (GID). This is a lifelong disorder and if not treated, sometimes leads to suicide if the child's depression is severe. A mental health professional, preferably as psychiatrist, can diagnose GID, and there are established procedures for dealing with this disorder.

AnswerWhy not let him dress like a girl for summer if he wants to experience it? Though if he is 12 or older I think he already knows why he wants to do this and feels like a girl anyway. AnswerThis is wrong, boys are boys they should not dress in girls clothing. If my son asked me if he could do this, I would say no and we would have a very serious discussion on how wrong it is if he is younger than 16. AnswerGive him some time to think about it. If he still wants to then let him try for one day. You should let him borrow your clothes the first day, and if he tries it and still wishes to dress as a woman, you could then by him his own clothes. Like the first answer stated, you need to be careful.

Answer 3

This isn't about the parent. This is not aobut how you raised your child up to this point. This is not about the parents expectations when they were concieving. This is not about your dissapointment. When you have a child, you are making a commitment to love him/her. You can't control if they are going to be gay, straight or transgender. You can raise them along the path you set, but since humans each have minds and personalities of their own, you never know what your going to get. Love them. Don't make them feel disgusted with themselves. Don't make them feel embarassed. I once thought that the best thing would be to hide my secret from my parents until they died and then live my life to spare them. There were many problems and fustrations. Things could have ended very badly. But once i came clean. Over about 2 weeks everything calmed down. Our relationship has been fantastic since then. I'm now 22 and very happy with life and am happy that my own parents know who i am. ^_^ God Bless! == == it would be very wise to show him love at this time.children need to know that you care.this could be a cry for attention also.spending more time with the child can open his heart to you.choosing his favorite thing to do may also help him to express his feelings.show him everyday that you care about him as a person first.tell him how happy and blessed you were when he was born and really mean it.children pick up when we are being insincere.show him in The Bible at ephesians 4:22 where it says to "Strip yourselves of your former nature[put off and discard your old unrenewed self]which characterized your previous manner of life and becomes corrupt through lusts and desires that spring from delusion;i hope you also can experience a personal relationship with Jesus Christ that will set you free as well. how old is your son. If he's young, explian to him that boys are boys, and girls are girls, and that they can't naturally switch places. If he's older, talk to him about why he feels this urge to remove his body parts and add others. ASk him if he thinks that this is God's plan for him. If he really wants a sex change, tell him to find out how much it costs. That may prevent it.

Answer 4

well, quite honestly, the best thing you can do is to just let him do it. he's going to do it behind your back regardless. whether taking a relatives clothes or simply buying his own. its best to get involved in it so he doesn't wind up skimpy if not slutty clothes, as many cross dressers do. believe me, trying to stop it will only screw with his emotions and mess him up even worse.

Answer 5

It's normal, just don't allow him to wear them in public, for people would judge him.
