Hello!
What would you do if your 16yr old son told you he wanted to crossdress at home? (He's not gay by the way) He wants to wear skirts, ladies tops,knickers and dresses. He wants to buy some clothes with me. (apparently he has a small collection)
Anyone have any experiance/helpful information with this?
Thanks

Hi,
I have some experiance with this issue, but its so different for different people (like most things I guess) However do look at this website. Its for parents of children who have gender issues such as crossdressing. Hope it helps, you are not alone, and remember it doesn't make him a bad person

Here is a link to the Parsimony Crossdressers Discussion Forum. A mother with a very similar probelm has recently posted her concerns about her son there and has received several excellent replies.

I don't think I would approve of it at all. If he isn't working, I would steer him towards getting a job. When he is old enough to afford his own flat, the decision is his.

I am an only child and I knew at the age of 11 that I wanted to dress as a girl but was far too embarrassed and ashamed to tell my parents. My mum and dad divorced when I was 14 and I told my mum a few months later that I would be happier in a dress and pretty undies. She was not unnaturally taken aback but she supported my crossdressing and bought me lots of girls clothes so that I spent nearly all the time at home as a girl. I became her daughter Jessica and there is no doubt it brought us much closer together. I went out with her and on holiday dressed as a girl and soon had a sizeable wardrobe of skirts, dresses, frilly knickers, tights and stockings, and lots of makeup.

If a boy wants to dress as a girl then his parents should let him because this desire is not going to disappear as he gets older. I am now 29 and still dress regularly (and still live at home with my mum who is my best friend). If anything, my desire to dress has got stronger with age.

I don’t think of myself as gay because I am attracted to girls but when I am Jessica I do enjoy the attentions of goodlooking men and I have been out on dates with guys so I guess I am bi-sexual. I have thought about sexual reassignment surgery but it is a major and irreversible step although perhaps if I met Mr Right I might take the plunge.
