How can you get your mom to let you crossdress?

Answer 1

Depends on the mom. Some are ok with it, others are not - often it depends on the Dad and the strictness of their religious background. Study your Mom and Dad - if they are open to you experimenting. Cross dressers are generally straight but they might think otherwise and have a problem with that so if you are straight tell them in case that worries them, and if not - think about it carefully. Maybe you need to think about it a bit more before coming out as gay to your parents. It's 2 different issues after all.

You can just try to start with little things and if they are dead set against it maybe you can get them to allow it at home. You can also get tips from other kids at teenlineonline.org. You can be anon there but there are all teens answering and there's also a forum.

Answer 2

It all depends on your Mom and Dad, where you live, your church and anything else that might have problems with people who are different. If your world is surrounded by people who are at least tolerant if not accepting of Gays, Lesbians and Bisexual persons, then you being transgender won't bother them much. If they have no tolerance then you are out of luck till you get old enough to go away.

The best way to approach a family member is to pull them aside alone and to tell them that you need their help. Be sure to tell them that you are "not gay" or "not wanting to have surgery" or you are not looking to cause problems but you have a problem; you've been living in a closet and no longer can do this. If you are clear and calm with a GLBT accepting family, explain that it doesn't mean they failed, that there is not something wrong with you and need to be fixed, nor are you a fallen sinner because of the dressing, you just like to do some of the stuff the girls do, and some of the stuff the boys do.

As to public, it is quite dangerous out there so be prepared to be oppressed; you ARE going to be. Get used to it and move on. If your parents are brave enough, they will help you but don't expect them to, this is nothing anyone wishes on their child.
