Mens High Heels - What would your reaction be if your son were transgender/possibly a transvestite?

What would your reaction be if your son were transgender/possibly a transvestite?

(note:please be at least nice about it.) I have always felt better in a dress/skirt/pretty clothes in general. I know my parents would absolutely murder me where I stood if they knew. What would your reaction be if your child was transgendered/a transvestite (perhaps gay)?

Being a lesbian myself I would have to say I would be understanding and accepting. My parents took 8 years to get used to my lifestyle. You can't help the way you feel. You were born that way.
Well, I have two boys..and I love them no matter what. If they were gay, transgener,transvestite...they are still my children and I will love them and would support them.....I hope your parents will feel the same way..good luck
I would be like omg then just with their decision because its their life not mine.
well, being gay, i think i would be very okay with that...matter of fact, i know i would. i can't live my kids lives. and i don't plan to. i will try and guide them on the right path, but i can't make decisions for them...no matter who thinks they can. id be fine if my kid was transgendered. it might happen. it's reality. :] i can't help it any more than i can help how tall i am
The cool thing about the LGBT community is that nothing is a choice, but a pre-assembled feeling. You can't remove it in any way (apparentally surgically, according to your question), so there really is no reason to be mad or upset. I would sit down with my son or daughter, look them in the eyes, and ask if this is how they really feel. If they know this is them, I would embrace them and remind them that it's only one part of your life, and that nothing would change.
I'd be like...ok..cool..lets go shopping! I'll help you pick out stuff from the women's section. FUN FUn!
I dont have a kid but have siblings....because they are my siblings i would tease them about it.
I still will love them because they always going to be my son/daughter. They can't help it and I know what it like to be like them. I love to have different people in my family and it very interest to know them. I want to have them do what best for them and I will support them.
A child of mine is a child of mine, no matter what. If I had a transgendered son, I wouldn't mind at all. I'd fully support my kids and however their lives played out.
honestly? I'd be tickled pink. I mean, I understand that he or she would have some issues and problems to work through, but I would be there every step of the way. they would not have to face this harsh cold hateful world alone.
YOU KNOW I AM A HUGE HYPOCRITE, I THINK GAYS ARE LOVELY, AND I AM ONE OF THEM..BUT I WOULD NOT WANT TO HAVE A GAY CHILD, WELL IF I DO, I WONT CARE, BUT I WILL BE PUSHING FOR STRAIGHT OR ATLEAST BISEXUAL EXPERIMENT ALIL..YEHA BISEXUAL:)!!! ANYWHO I DONT HAVE NO ISSUE WITH DRAGGING IT UP ALIL, BUT CHANGING YOUR SEXUAL PREFERENCE IS A NONO IN MY BOOK..BE GLAD WHAT YOU GOT, YOU DONT HAVE TO PAY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO LOOK LIKE A (SHE) THAT WYA TO MUCH MONEY, ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS GET A COUPLE ROLLS OF TOILET TISSUE, SOME BUTT ENHANCERS,AND A GREAT ASS WEAVE!....YOU WILL STILL BE BEAUTIFUL, WITHOUT CAUSEING YOUR BODY ANY DAMAGE, BUT IF YOU HATE YOUR MALE ANATOMY, THAT I JUST HAVE O SAY ONE THING!!! \ GO FOR IT!!!, IT I DIDN'T LOVE MY COCK, I AM SURE I WOULD GET A VAGINA.....(BUT I LOVE IT, TO THE MAX) C I AM A HYPOCRITE.. I ALSO CONTRADICTED EVERYTHING I JUS SAID..BUT YEAH....DO WHAT FEELS RIGHT FOR YOU, LOVE YOUR BODY, EVEN ID YOU PAID FOR IT!
Personally, I wouldn't have any problem with that whatsoever. I would help them to understand him or herself and do my best get them the information he or she needed. ( To KEITH: Caps Lock: Unnecessary. Also, you're an idiot. )
Shock - at first probably. Then understanding and sympathy
Being a long time married cross dresser, with a supportive, accepting, understanding, knowledgeable, and helpful wife who has taught me all the traits to emulate women from presentation, to walking, standing, sitting, mannerisms, make up, hair, nails, etc, and have a very extensive wardrobe, including 42 pair of HIGH HEELS (and I do mean HIGH), -for me this is a lifestyle and not a hobby nor passing "fancy".. So much so, that I have more or less "divorced" myself from the male gender due to their being what they are and how they act; mistreating / disrespecting women, foul language, excessive drinking, troublesome and just being a-holes.. I too, am far more comfortable in feminine attire as versus what I have left of male clothes.. So all I can say is, hang in there as best you can until you left the confines of their house and get out on your own. And even with that in mind, and afterwards, always keep your "nose clean" and out of trouble".. Good luck... Rachelle In High Heels
to be honest with you, it would probably be a little hard for me, but would accept him/her no matter what. We would have some serious talks about it, and I would defiantly want him to have some counseling, but for him/her. My child is my child no matter what.
