Last evening, a very close friend of mine (a transgender girl) told me that she`s about to meet her boyfriend`s family for the first time at the Christmas dinner, and she asked me for some advice because she`s a bit nervous about it. She worries that his parents may figure out that she`s a transgender, although she`s 100% passable and feminine. Nevertheless, I guess that all Tgirls think about this, no matter how feminine they are.

Although I wasn`t ever introduced to my ex boyfriend`s family, I think I would have been a bit nervous too, although I`m very outgoing and talkative. I mean, let`s face it, you know how mothers-in-law are, they want the best for their boys and stuff, and to be honest I seldom saw a mother in law that`s TRULY happy with her son`s girlfriend.

However, I think that the most important thing when you meet your boyfriend`s family is not to be shy and mute. Just talk about whatever comes into your mind. Well, okay, not about everything that crosses your mind though. Try to act natural, be yourslef be polite but don`t become an as*kisser. Oh, and I would inform myself about some of the topics that his family members are interested in, for instance if dad likes to go fishing.

Anyway, I don`t think that meeting your boyfriend`s family is such a scarry thought, because in the end if your boyfriend loves you, his parents won`t put you in any embarrassing situation and won`t ask you personal stuff that make you feel uncomfortable or anything.

If you ask me, I think the outfit is important too. You know what they say, you never get a second chance to make a good first impression. I`d choose something smart/casual, not too sexy and provocative but not too nun-like either. Keep in mind when you choose your outfit that it`s the Christmas dinner, and although it`s family, it`s still somehow formal... .

P.S.: I almost forgot! Those whose boyfriend is out of the closet to his parents are the luckiest!
