How other family members see me

[LizMichelle]

How other family members see me, they have been good and bad. My mom's side of the family, they love and accept Liz Michelle in as a part time niece being supportive. They still see me as a normal nephew when I am not dressed as her. Plus they understand why after I was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome. Did read the research with people that have Asperger's Syndrome which is a form of Autism having the LGBTQ issues. My cousins, they are cool about it and see I still live a happy life. My female cousins say I look better in dresses and skirts than them which is true. My dad's side, most have accepted it and are supportive. His brothers do not accept it and I do not dress as Liz Michelle around them. His two sisters, they have been great about it loving and accepting Liz Michelle as a part time niece as well. They saw I was different from my male cousins growing up. One does have a son with Autism and she was informed of the LGBTQ issues as well, he came out as gay at age 15. My cousins on that side, some think my crossdressing is weird at times and Most have been good about it. Dad has been trying to get his brothers to accept it over the years and I credit him for trying. Still is and hopefully work that out later this year hopefully

Good for you.
My side of the family would probably accept me as 2 of them are gay.
Wife's side is another story. They are somewhat religious, anti-trans (not phobic, just anti) and conservative. So I keep the peace.

My cousin Kayliegh, still remember borrowing a dress from her and it was like the scene in the Halloween episode of News Radio. Seen a dark navy dress she never worn and borrowed it.Seen me wearing saying that was her dress and I looked better in it

The only family member that knows is my wife (and she's supportive). My parents are both gone. Of my two siblings, one is decidedly anti-trans (thinks we have a sickness), and the other I've no idea. Neither lives near me at all (both more than 500 miles away) so there's no need to tell them, thus they will never know. The only scenario I imagine telling is blowing my cork off at my anti-trans sibling when I've finally had enough.

I'm happy for you that so much of your family is supportive, LizMichelle! That's really great!

Glad they are.My dad's sisters, I do have girl time with them as Liz Michelle every Wednesday.

Do u identify as a CD or trans, Liz? Most CD's I know don't come out to everyone. They're more like me.

Out to strangers far away from town but almost no one near home!:daydreaming:

I identify as a crossdresser

[Debbie Denier]

My late mother was the only family member to see Debbie. The thought alone is abhorrent to my wife.

LizMichelle, I'm sorry your paternal includes do not support you. Like, Debbie, my mother was the only family member who knew/knows.
