How do i come out to my family about crossdressing? I wanna try my best not to freak them out. Any advice please? Or maybe just share your own experiences with coming out? How does it usually go?

put on a pink satin petticoat, stockings, a long pink wig, full makeup, and try to time your family getting home so that you will be "accidentally" in the living room right when they get home, vacuuming the carpet like a good maid would

do you mean being trans or just crossdressing? if you litterly mean crossdressing why come out to them at all especially if it's something you can do in private like why would they need to know? if you mean being trans and like presenting female and being addressed as such it can definitely go alot of different ways depending on what your family is like / their political beliefs.

Just crossdressing, i wanna come out because it's really not convenient to do it secretly. Like i can't even wash my stuff because they would know i used the washing machine so because of that i barely wear anything to not get them dirty, and i can't do any makeup or paint my nails because i would just have to remove them after a few hours which wouldn't be worth it. And in general having to do everything secretly is just annoying and i feel somewhat guilty about hiding it as well.

>>40614533
I guess that's fair. I wonder if you could just say it's cosplay to save face.

>>40614463 (OP)
for the love of god just troon out

>>40614626
Sadly i don't think they even know what cosplaying is, and i don't think they'd think it's any better than crossdressing.
>>40614652
I may or may not but the thread really isn't about that. I don't wanna derail it. Let's just stick to talking about coming out.

>>40614533
Take your clothes to a laundromat.

>>40614670
>i don't think they even know what cosplaying
just be like
>hey guys I really like this show/character and sometimes I like dressing up as them even if they're a girl.
I think most normal people would accept that but idk what your family is like.

>>40614711
Eh i guess i could. But there are still all the other reasons so i think it would be worth it to come out.
>>40614741
Yeah i really don't think they would buy it, and i'm horrible at lying anyway. I wanna be mostly honest about it if i can. But i'm pretty retarded socially so yeah idk i how i would even start the conversation or how exactly explain it.

Bump! help me smart anons :3

I used to crossdress in my mom's clothes a lot as a teenager. Basically just her makeup and what was in her closet. I felt guilty about it because I'd heard a lot of nasty things about it online.
But finally, one day I just straight up told my mom that I had been crossdressing using her clothes, and crying a bit. But she actually just straight up didn't care and said "okay, that's fine."
So I don't know, that's how it went for me.

>>40615072
Wow yeah i could only wish for that outcome. How old were you when it happened?

Bump :3

Bump help me :((

>>40614533
Wtf why??????
Thats like telling your family you have a scat fetish and that everyone should pls not flush their toilet when theyre done

Trust me anon, DO NOT DO THIS

>>40615096
Sorry for the late reply. I want to say my late teens? Maybe 17 or so.

Wait until you live on your own. I’m sorry but you shouldn’t “come out” as BDSM when ur a babby becuase you want to drill a sex swing into you and your brothers wall

>>40616042
Wtf is crossdressing that bad? I feel like it's not even as bad as coming out as gay, idk.
>>40616068
Okay so similar to me i guess, i'm 19.
>>40616111
It's gonna be a long time until i can live by myself. And isn't crossdressing considered somewhat innocent, not like bdsm kinda degenerate. It's not even necessarily related to sex.

>>40616340
>And isn't crossdressing considered somewhat innocent
If u grew up on discord sure, but i reckon for boomers and older people pic related is what they know as crossdressing

>>40616340
They're just gonna think you're gay or trans anyway if you come out about crossdressing. That's how the average person is gonna see it.

>>40616392
I guess... :(
>>40616496
Well i am bi and thinking about trooning out so they wouldn't be too wrong i guess.

>>40614463 (OP)
You don’t look like that THO.
99% of the time this ends badly and they may accept you but they shame and despair they feel will never go away.
Good times.

>>40614483
^This, why would you ever want your family to know about your kinks it’s just fucking weird.
>>40614533
I don’t know figure it out dude, better than disappointing your family. I manage to make it work although I don’t paint my nails or do any heavy makeup besides some eyeliner and mascara.

>>40614828
Literally, what other reason?

>>40616624
But what if i'm already a huge disappointment? I'm not a source of pride for them at all. So is it okay if i disappoint them a little more?

>>40616646
It's annoying! I don't like having to do everything in secret. Buying everything secretly, storing them secretly, dressing up secretly. It's so gay.

>>40616664
Everyone in this thread is telling you the correct answer is just don’t if it can be avoided. With being an actual troon for example coming out makes some logical sense for some people just because there’s physical changes that will eventually be noticed anyway so it’s better to sometimes clear the air first. And your case I’m genuinely curious why you think you have to gain? Best case will just be weirded out a little bit, but not really care, worst case they’ll hate you for it and he disgusted. Do you know your parents well enough to know that they’re OK with those kind of things?

>>40616725
I mean they won't be okay with it, they won't like it but they will get over it. Idk i don't like doing anything in secret if possible. Like i used to smoke when i was 13 or so and i never hid it. They didn't like it but they couldn't stop me so yeah. Like imo the worst that could happen is they'll be upset for maybe a few weeks or a month but then they'll get used to it.

>>40616806
Smoking at 13 is fucked maybe you should listen to your parents more lmao. Why would you put them through that and put yourself through that when you could just not? As I said it’s a kink, it isn’t something they really need to know. Keeping secrets is important, but if you want, go ahead and tell them and keep us updated, I guess. There’s just no value you’re gonna get it from it.

>>40616712
In my case, aside from they knowing from the beginning they always went through my stuff when I wasn't home so they noticed immediately, they never confronted me about it, only one time after I left home and was visiting them, I don't know who did it but they washed the clothes I had in my duffle bag, washed them and left them to dry in the terrace.

>>40616878
I want my mom to wash my skirt for me too :3 were you not like relieved after they found out?
>>40616862
Yeah like i don't have a ton to gain from it. But idk it's gonna be relief, and i'm just gonna be able to do everything without a worry. Isn't that worth it?

>>40616952
No one stopping you go ahead and do it. If you wanna rip the Band-Aid off, just tell them and show it to them, wanting your parents to wash your agp shit is weird as hell though

>>40616952
They already knew, they are just very bad with words and that felt like invasion to my privacy more than anything, I can never talk openly about anything with them, if they don't like what I'm talking about they just brush it off and change the subject, like when I was outed and had to tell them I was on HRT, the only thing my mother said was "but you don't even take cough medicine, and you are taking these much pills?" and never talked about it again, just recently had a video call and my mother pressured me to cut my hair and my dad said that my face looked way better than before.

>>40617012
Yeah i think i wanna rip it off

>>40614463 (OP)
