    A lot of interesting opinions, but that's all anyone on this site can offer regarding this question. I doubt there is much research or behavioral studies which address the effects - both immediate and long term - of young children who see their father crossdressing as a female. I would guess possible influences or effects would depend upon the specific circumstances and environment, communications, frequency, female attire worn, behavior of parents when dressed, etc. Much would also depend upon the acceptance of the non-dressing parent.

    How you dress is only a small part of parenting. If you are a good and loving parent, you will influence your children positively no matter what you wear. BUT - why expose them to any behavior that might have some negative impacts. Until children are mature enough to understand and free from possible teasing if discovery by their friends, I think it is best to keep crossdressing private.

    Hi Mags, like everyone has said it is something between you and your SO. I have a 4 year old, and he notices when dad wears toe nail polish. We try to teach him tolerance and acceptance of all people even at his age. The best thing you could probably do is lay down some ground rules with your SO about dressing at home.

    My kids have known for sometime that I live part time as a woman. They know I am different, and I do not dress in front of them or show them photos. However you handle it, the main thing is not to lie to your kids or your SO, ever. IMO, it's better to let them grow up knowing something than to get caught during their teen years when they have enough struggles of their own.
    Life is an endless struggle full of frustrations and challenges, but eventually you find a hairstylist you like.
