When should I tell my family my girlfriend is transsexual.

Sorry about my grammar on my post. I am typing this on my Samsung Galaxy S3 cell phone. I don't want to alienate my family with a person I just meet 5 months ago and she feels the same way. 5 months is not that long of a time to make a big decision like this. Say we break up a month from now not only have I lost my partner but my family. She would like to meet my parents but not now and I am not going to force her to do it.

Spot on. You shouldn't, then. Just be prepared for the same expected reaction if things get to be more serious down the road, I guess.

IF ur family loves u they will always.... im sorry I have a very republican and conservative family... it took them some time to come around but they love and support me. My father still spouts out gay comments, and jokes. I think you are over thinking this way too much! Yea it might be 5mths but thats a long time in our worlds! I met my husbands family within a month of being with him. Like i said earlier people have no clue what a TS is, they think we are drag queens on Jerry Springer. I had to educated my family for years, so I am speaking from experience ur over thinking this way too much!!!

why do you even have to tell them she is a ts? is she not passable?

Her voice is not passable. She has a heavy voice.

not really,your voice is your voice. ive tried to change my voice forever but its whatever.i have a nasally thing going on,i sound like a cross between a valley girl and erkels cousin *shrugs*.

Either vocal training or helium. I have a hard time believing she hasn't heard of voice training, so if her voice isn't an issue to her you might wanna be careful bringing up that subject.

"Oh my god! Did I do that? Gag me with a spoon!".
You're right, it is whatever. You can only change the things you have the power to change; screw other people for getting that twisted.

Tell your family she is a heavy cigar smoker, and whiskey drinker.
