When should I tell my family my girlfriend is transsexual.

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

That'll blow over well.
May as well say he had to pull her away from huffing gasoline in the garage to make it to the family gathering on time.

That is so true..lol Is there anything she can do to make her voice more light and feminine?

Katheline Turner has a mascline voice.... people are still clueless with voices! If she looks like a woman she passes as one!

Calpernia Addams has a dvd series on voice training, I know many girls have used it and cant tell difference. Also there are surgeries but I feel they dont work, I met a girl who had it and she sounded like she been smoking since she was born and she was only 19.

MHarrigan, I think you’re right (and everybody else) in not wanting to introduce your girlfriend to your folks. And maybe even to never say a thing about it to them, whether you do introduce her or not. But maybe you could start trying to discuss such subjects as homosexuality and transgenderism with them, starting maybe with the most open of them. If you stay with Cynthia (that’s her name I think, have I read right?), you might have to talk about it eventually anyways, and if you don’t, you’ll have lost nothing. Try to open them up slowly. People make a lot of jokes, but they’re sometimes surprisingly more open than we think. Hey! I have gay friends and we make gay jokes sometimes…
Be subtle, be delicate. A few well placed comments here and there at first. This being said, you’re the best judge of what they can take or not, and you should respect your gut feeling.

Not always true. If any of you girls had my voice; holy shit. I have to speak in a falsetto just to sound "normal". I wouldn't give it up, though. It's way too fun scaring the hell out of people.

I have to agree. There are GG's out there with deep voices, facial hair, muscular bodies, etc and being GG's one would have to say that they "pass" even though they may be considered ugly. If GG's can naturally have these traits who is to say what is truly passable. Sure sometimes it is a bit obvious but most of the time isn't it all just guessing or somebody trying to be an asshole.

Remember cute, petite Linda Fiorentino? Is that her name? The girl who was in Men in Black? Delicate woman with quite a deep voice...

Exactly. If someone were to judge he just by her voice they may just say some terrible things about her.

kirstie alley (however you spell her name) has a masculine body and face. her upper body is as big as a football lineman. same with sandra bullocks face. the features are not soft on her. hard masculine jawline with an aggressive brow bone.

lost in this is a simple sentiment....

how can you really say you love a person if you are embarrassed or so worry about how everyone else will treat you for loving them?

as i said 2 pages ago...you should talk to your GF and find out when she is ready and what your concerns are. as a couple, you determine the course of action if one is needed. short of that, you are being selfish just considering what will happen to you and your family. being selfish is fine...but to me, a truly loving and mutually beneficial relationship is one there you are more attentive to your lover than your own needs and vice versa
