If your transisioning and have been dianogistic evident of "GID", then it should be easier to explain to your parents. You will have to do it sooner or later anyway. If you like most of us and just a CDer, then you have to decided on how and when to tell them.

Remember all of the advise in the world will not help, unless your ready to act on it.

well i have never been diagnosed with (gid) but have long wanted to be a woman nd i am trult ready to act in any advise

[JoAnnDallas]

OK, then have all your facts ready and mabey even some articles to show them. Try to think of all the questions they will ask and have a answer ready for them. The biggest question is going to be 'WHY". This one you have to come up yourself.
Also be prepared for it to go very very bad. Not all parents will be understanding or even want to understand.

The advice I have gotten on this when I have asked in the past, is that you know your family best and only you can know when and how to tell them. Also, make sure you have information about crossdressing, articles, books, this site, to help them understand. Also not to overload them with everything at once. To much information can be a bad thing. Take it slowly and make sure you show them that you are proud of who you are. You have a lot of courage and I wish you the best of luck. Keep us updated.

I think telling parents would be very hard. I think I would approch your mother first, she'll let you know if you should tell your dad. She has been with him years longer than you have. She'll know and maybe she can soften the blow to him. I would not go in front of them dressed as you may end up out the door that way. My dad never would have understood, I did tell my mother, but my dad was long past away. My mom said she thought that I was a crossdresser. I believe it was from my childhood that she had figured it out. Talk to your mother first would be my suggestion.
