Am I being brave, or just plain stupid?

So I'm your almost-typical teenage Asian boy. I have an 88 average, play badminton and golf, like math, hate english and has a girlfriend. Nothing compromising right?

[b]Wrong.[/b]

Being a closet crossdresser is one of the things that freaks people out when they find out. Being in the IB program at my school, everybody thinks we're weirdos anyway so no problem there, but home (or wherever my parents are) is a battleground. I take constant insults and threats of doing what I want to because its "unnatural" and "gross". Can someone give me some advice on what to do?

Ps. Civvies day is Wednsday. I'm crossing then, with all of my cosplay friends. Hoping I don't get sent to guidance for being "mentally misdirected".

[quote=agentmagic62]@chewy222 Oh yeah I remember that one. It was cute[/quote]

well it depends, do you look good in girl's clothes like Yuki? or do you look cute like Momiji? or just plain ugly/weird?

Hm... It sortof works. Not perfectly for me because I can't keep a lot of clothes for crossing, but I can do it. Just grow out my hair, and the clothes take care of the rest.
And I'm glad it doesn't phase you. Do you go to cawthra?

@WHilf Yeah, I think they're just offended that their image of perfect sexual orientation in the world is marred by gays, lesbians, trannies and xdressers. They need a good dose of highschool, and fast
@Steven7x23 Why not, because its open toe/heel?

[quote=BeSubtle]When you cross-dress, you will always get some haters, either they're discreet about it or very open about it. That's just what happens when you go against societal norms. I know it sucks, but I hope you have the strength to tough it out. You seem like a nice guy, and it's not your fault that cross dressing appeals to you. Forget the haters and the people that think otherwise. My parents are the same-ish and are asian as well. Sometimes I like to wear guy clothes for the comfort, though I'm not a cross dresser. When I walk down the stairs or even more, go out wearing boy clothes, they question me, and I just brush them off, because I don't even want to describe to them, because I know they wouldn't even believe me if I say it's because they're comfy. Even though you are their son and they fight with you about it, I promise that deep down they still really care about you. Maybe sit down with them and talk for real in a calmly matter and try to describe to them what cross dressing is to you and how you feel about it. Ask them how they feel about it. If they say some harsh things that it is 'unnatural' and 'gross', tell them how that makes [i]you[/i] feel. Try to open their eyes somehow. Good luck [/quote]

Thanks I don't think I can talk with them though... They pretty much assumed I was gay/bi and my dad is a homophobe. Life is sucking a little right now, but I'll try to stay with my own ideals.

It works. She thinks it's funny, and I'm not gay. Crossdressers =/= gay, just making that clear.

@SasukeIIV Uniform in the pic.

@Tauthology Do you go to STFX too? o.o

@icutyoulol I posted on basil for the anonymity, or at least I try.

[quote=12345678x]Cross cressers are freaks and losers. It's not right.
You know it deep down too. You just cross dress because you like the feel of girls clothes. Get a life loser.[/quote]

Too defensive or too much hate? I think both. Who are you to judge? Do you hate girls that wear jeans and t-shirts?

If you want to be seen as a freak in the societies eyes, I mean be yourself. Go for it.
I just don't see why you want other peoples opinion on whatever you're making your life into.

Woah, I suggest doing something else instead of cross dressing (such as playing hide the stick or booze/drugs ).

@Cyrus0 I'm crossdressing because it makes me feel unique, and I enjoy it.

@iSpiffster I like it. Besides, it's not even my skirt... It's my friends, and she usually uses it as a dress.

@steven7x23 It's okay, I'll see you around

Hm. No, Just the outer clothes. Skirts, dresses, blouses. Not much for undies, although I'm impartial to the occasional bra.
I look all right... A lot better than most guys. At school, I'm known as the boy who has the body that a girl would kill for. Translation; I have curves, apparently.

I don't have any pictures in full, only in a skirt for a presentation. Bad view, sorry.

Everyone has different interests.

If your interests don't fit in the "norm" then expect disapproval from your peers.

However you shouldn't care if your interests fit well with others as long as it makes you yourself happy.

If your girlfriend approves then who else should care?

if it's getting too hot & heavy for you that it's really putting too much mental stress on you, i'd suggest switching schools are something.
we're human beings, we all can't be perfect.
