donotremove   10 #1 Posted August 18, 2014 Just had a PM off a poster who is scared to start a thread so being a kind fellow I'm a surrogate OP. He wants to know how he should break it to his family that he likes dolling up and calling himself 'Adelina' at weekends.  Any suggestions?

To 'test the water' so to speak? Interesting... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
wornout53 Â Â 10 #5 Posted August 18, 2014 This is a delicate one but really the only way is to talk to people face to face and to try to get them to understand that this doesn't change who he is.....it is just another facet of him.

cgksheff   44 #6 Posted August 18, 2014 Thank you for your valuable input on this rather delicate matter.  You are welcome.  In the event of there being any truth in your post, my sincere advice is that there is no value in seeking advice with such a matter on an open forum.

andyofborg   11 #7 Posted August 18, 2014 Just had a PM off a poster who is scared to start a thread so being a kind fellow I'm a surrogate OP. He wants to know how he should break it to his family that he likes dolling up and calling himself 'Adelina' at weekends. Any suggestions?  the first thing is to identify whether or not the subject of this thread is transgendered or simply someone who enjoys cross dressing.  if transgendered then they should contact one or more of the various support groups/agencies who will be able to provide sane advice as to how to broach this with family and friends and support should the reaction be negative.  if not transgendered and they simply enjoy cross dressing, then they should just come out and say it though probably starting with their partner and telling everyone else in small groups as and well the opportunity arises. I'm sure there are various groups which could also offer advice and support for those in this situation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
donotremove   10 #8 Posted August 18, 2014 You are welcome. In the event of there being any truth in your post, my sincere advice is that there is no value in seeking advice with such a matter on an open forum.  You really need to be less judgemental and I need to by less trustworthy of some people on here. I have come on here as it is a very busy and diverse forum and therefore may have members who have been through this terrible predicament and may be able to help.  Unfortunately there is also a poster on here who has now introduced a 'sex offender' element to the thread. Brilliant.  Many thanks to the posters who have offered some empathy and advice to my friends plight but I'm afraid that this thread is now tainted and I respectfully request the mods to remove it.

Intake Too   10 #11 Posted August 19, 2014 Just had a PM off a poster who is scared to start a thread so being a kind fellow I'm a surrogate OP.

He cant live a lie forever and if people really love him they will still love him no matter how he dresses and no matter what he calls himself.
