What do you tell the family?

[BellaBellucci]

OK, so at least SOME of the people on this site are active members of the dating pool, right? I have a question for those people: when you're in a M/TS relationship, what do you tell the man's family (let's assume they're conservative)? Do you even tell them anything at all? What's the best way to handle the situation?

most mamas dont like any girl a man brings home. To bring home a tg would be very traumantizing. Great question though.

I don't think you should feel obligated to tell his family anything, really. But, that's my opinion :)

They will find out next week, she is meeting my Family. April 28th. Actually the only person that knows she is trans is my sister in law. We have been going out for 4 months. She has told me not to tell them she is a tg. My parents will not like it, but I really dont care. I have been dating tg's alot for the past few years.

I have been going to NYC every weekend and I think one of my brother thinks something is up , I live near Atlantic City.

you tell them only what you are comfortable with.

if you are the kind of person that wants/needs to hide who you are...keep your mouth shut.

if you are the kind of person that wants/needs to advertise that you are packing...then tell them and let them deal with it

if you are the kind of person that is not defined solely by your birth gender...its none of their business. you are who you are. when i still dated, it was simple...i told my siggy's friends/family only what they needed to know, when they needed to know it. I guess the point is that if I was dating a girl and I met her parents, it was none of their business if I was a member of James Van Der Beak fan club or a closet professional wrestling fan let alone how big my penis is.....so why should your bf's parents know how big yours is.

It's not your call. It's down to the man (if it's his family you're talking about)...

You can want to be as open as you want, but it's not your place to dictate his relationship with his own family.

Had the same chat with my GF, what to tell my family, or even bring up the subject. And her answer (which I stand by) is that's no one else's business but ours.

meeting the parents is the scariest thing to me

Oh, by the way, my girlfriend's got a cock.
Christmas dinners will never seem the same! :shrug

That is very nice. Good luck. My mother only liked one of my GF, hated my wife so much and thought me getting married was such a big mistake she did not come to my wedding.

if you want to tell them go for it. they just are going to have to deal with it if you feel that you can tell them. Otherwise don't even sweat it.

[robertlouis]

It's fair to say you've come back with a bang, Bella.

Don't leave it so long next time. This one's a lulu.

My parents have sadly both passed, but they were very broad-minded. My mum used to invite a work colleague of hers over from time to time to join us for a meal at the weekends.

With her girlfriend - and we're talking Scotland in the late 70s.

my good friend is dating a famous flautist. she has played at lincoln center, recorded with major artists, etc. when he introduced her to his parents, his dad recognized her from her cds and had been to her concerts before

the point is...could you imagine you bring home your ts girlfriend that has done porn and your dad knows who she is because he has fapped it to her already.

This.

My father actually met my ex (and liked her). Obviously he didn't know about her site and such...
