Finally told part of my family

[abby21]

So I finally told part of my family about my crossdressing habits. I told both of my sisters and I started out apologizing about stealing there clothes when I was young, and they both said that it was ok. I said it was kinda weird and the fact is that I love to wear girls clothes and they both said that no matter what i did they will always love me and support whatever I do. My younger sister told me that she would look thru her closet to see if she had any clothes she would be willing to give me. They both also agreed that it would be cool if we set up a dinner date just the three of us and they said that I could wear whatever I wanted to.

Thats great that your sisters are so understanding, enjoy your new relationship's with them.

I'm still too scared to tell my parents mainly becuase i still live with them. My dad and step mom have very high standards for what some would call normal and if anybody ventures out of the norm they are the first to say something mean and that kinda scares me. But i'm really glad that both of my sisters are understanding and they even want to go shopping with/for also so i'm very excited!

Congratulations, for telling your sisters and for them being so loving and accepting!

I told my sisters last year. Next week I am going to get the first chance to spend a day with them, with me dressed en femme. They have also been very supportive. (They have seen pics, but still, I'm nervous about actually letting them see this side in person. What if I look bad or they feel weirded out or something? I'm sure it will be fine, but the nerves are still there.)

That is so fantastic.Im sure the three of you will have a blast . wish i was that brave.

[Beverley Sims]

I know others that have shared with their sisters, the parents do not know unfortunately, it is a generation thing.
I hope you develop an even more special relationship now.
Being of the opposite gender, maybe you pay for dinner.

I told my parents, they were shocked and still don't want to talk about it. my relationship with them hasn't changed so that is great. At least they accept it as part of who i am, i wish i had sisters to share my femme side with. My grandmother was really great about it. good luck to you.

It will be my first time out in public wearing any article of female clothing. They suggested that I start out slow and wear just a skirt or jeans or something then when we go out again i can add a top the skirt. I'm still trying to work up the nerves to send them a picture of what one of my dresses looks like on me, I did send them just a picture of the dress itself and she said it is super cute.

Do you think they might be willing to help you with your makeup before you go out? Then you pay for dinner... ;)

Hi Abby,

So glad your sisters have accepted and support you.

On a lighter note, perhaps just don't admit to all the exact items you may have worn. Might cause an 'eeeeww' moment! :eek:

I wonder if asking them to help with makeup would be a good way to get them into the fun of it? Then the transformation is something they can sort of ease into?

Well I would but I don't dress up becuase I wanna pass I dress up becuase I like the look and feel of girls clothes especially bra's becuase I like how they improve my posture.

Congrats on sharing with your sisters. And good on them for being understanding. I'm jealous because I only have a bunch of brothers and my wife is the only one that knows - and she is Don't Ask Don't Tell. A few sales associates and a woman therapist are the only live women I've been able to talk to at all, and those have been pretty brief. Good luck.

Technically they are my 2 step sisters but either way they are part of the family, lucky for me I don't have any brothers and I think growing up with 2 sisters is kinda what has led me onto this path of dressing up like a girl, I could be completely wrong though.

[Jenni Yumiko]

Thats great that you have siblings that you could come out to, most people dont have that kind of family support!
Good luck on your new journey!

I OFFICIALLY told my older sister about 25 years ago. She was totally cool with it. When we were kids, I used to sneak her babydoll pajamas all the time and one day she caught me in them. She just said "you really like those, don't you?" I said yes, after a lot of stammering. When mom found out I was sneaking those and HER nightgowns to sleep in, she tried the usual aversion "therapy" and made me wear them in front of the family. Sorry Mom, it didn't work. My sister said she understood and gave them to me. Over the years, she sent me a great make-up kit, nightgowns, and a square dance dress. She didn't dance but knew back then I LOVED them. My other sister was not cool with it at all. Still isn't.

I really wish both had been and maybe we could have had a really cool '3 musketeers' sort of group.

Well just recently I had told both my Dad and my Mom. I don't know my Dad's reaction as I havent talked to him sense I sent him the email pending I talk to my sisters in person first. As per my Mom she thinks that she can talk me outta this and that something is wrong with me because I do this (I know better). I told her "you can either accept it and support me or not and I think I already know the answer" (she won't). She says maybe I should see a counselor to find out why I do this. I'll post on here as soon as I find out what she thinks.

When telling others, be it parents or friends, it is very important to make sure they have the proper information to help digest this part of you. Everyone only has so much information, and this information could be wwrong or right. In most cases in our society it is incorrect. For them to form an opinion about you, or your lifestyle, with wrong informationn is asking for disaster.
When, and if, they go to google information on crossdressing etc. they will first have to get past the first umpteen pages of porn sites or gay bashing sites. Chances are they won't get past that, as that is what is going to reinforce thier current thought pattern of crossdressers. YOU need to fing the proper infor and get it out to them. It's not an ilness that can be "cured". It's not going away etc. Do not let them stew with this on thier own for to long. Theres lots of info here on the site and there are lots of girls here that can offer insight.
Iv'e always looked for a all in one book that I could hand to friends/family that has all the info. Seems like it would have fit the bill here. "Mom, Dad I want you to read this book before I sit and discuss something with you." Information is powerful and your best friend, Good luck

[abby21]

an all in one book would be amazing
