Hi
I think that this is mainly directed at GGs as CDs maybe slightly biased.
Imagine you come home and find your 25 year old son fully dressed, make up, wig, forms etc. He breakdown in tears and tell you that he's been dressing since he was 6 or 7, firstly in his sister clothes and then only later has he been able to afford to buy his own stuff which he's kept hidden away. He's kept it secret from you because he was embarrassed and didn't want to upset you. He wasn't sure how you'd react and now you know he's worried that you will think less of him.
How do you react?
Do you tell him it's OK and you'll love him whatever? Do you offer to support him, give him help and advice, always be there for him? Or do you tell him that you want nothing to do with it and that he shouldn't mention it again?
I guess that already having a CD in your life you are answering from a position of knowledge but if you put yourself in the position of a mother who has no knowledge how do you react?
It wold be interesting to know how parents of Cd did react when they found out you CD.
