Re: When should I tell my family my girlfriend is transsexual.
Do you look like the straight Christian boy, or more trendy? Is your relationship now with him still father - son or between adults. If she doesn't meet them this time, it might be good to just loosen up your dad a bit. An alternate is talking to your mom if she is more accepting. I mean in the general as "some of my friends are GLBT and they are actually quite good persons. I don't understand why you condemn them so."
Are your parents out just for Thanksgiving or for several days, if so a short meeting for lunch over the following weekend might be good. There is zero reason to bring up orientation, just let them see for themselves why she makes you so happy.

Re: When should I tell my family my girlfriend is transsexual.
mixing my head voice into my regular voice to make it lighter.
she basically needs to just practice not talking so loudly and taking time to speak clearly and more softly. That alone makes a big difference. If she focuses on keeping her voice softer and thinks lighter, it helps too.
A good example of head voice is when you ask "hmmm?" in a question. That higher feeling, and where you place it in your voice is your head voice.

Re: When should I tell my family my girlfriend is transsexual.
i think it depends on a lot of things, if this is the lifestyle for you for sure, if it is, i would just come on out. if something ever happened down the road between you and the girl, she could really get revenge on you! something to think about,. if you also are into regular woman, then it might be worth the gamble not to tell them.

Re: When should I tell my family my girlfriend is transsexual.
I'm in the fourth year of a relationship with a transgendered girl. It was my first with a TG too. You have many obstacles to overcome in the months and years ahead. Take each one as it comes. I agree with those that say you don't have to make an issue of it. You introduce her as Cynthia. That's it. No more explanations are required. If you started dating, for example, a black girl (I'm assuming you are white), would you say "This is my girlfriend, and oh, by the way, she's black". I think not. People will either accept or not, and you don't have to lose sleep worrying about what they will say and think. You do what is right for you and your girl, and if the love is strong, the relationship will endure

Re: When should I tell my family my girlfriend is transsexual.
MHarrigan, isn't this a reworded version of the exact same question you asked 3 months ago?
It's called common sense. They've only been together for 5 months so it makes sense to not alienate himself from his family for what is, right now, a new relationship. I think MHarrigan is taking a sensible approach to this in that he knows that he loves this girl and is prepared to take the shitstorm from his family but he doesn't want it to be over nothing.
Fact is though relationships can eventually fail no matter how long, so my advice to OP is to stop worrying about it and deal with it when it happens. They won't presume that she is a man necessarily when they do meet her, so stop worrying.

You should keep it in secret till your death. This is your own personal business and not the business of the whole family or of the whole district.
