As stated in other posts, it would appear that i'm about to need some suitable explanations for whats going on with me..

Has anyone got any good oneliners that i can pretend are my own? perleeease?

I can just see my mom asking why i have boobs now? um yeah i grew them to stop my dress falling down??

Help!

I'm thinking the truth is prolly best dear girl, but if your wanting something light and humorous you could try the 'chemical accident at work that's making me grow boobs' one?

yep... truth.... maybe a little at a time...
But for quips and sarcasms.....

The question about boobs:

• Those aren't boobs, they're my girls and what are you doing looking at them in the first place?
  I got tired of stuffing my bras with tissues and silicone is just too much trouble in the long run.

The question of outfits:

• What? This color doesn't look good on me?
  You don't like my updated look?
  Yeah.. yeah.. I'll share

The question of hair:

• I thought I'd grow it out while I still have it.
  What do you think about me with a page boy?
  You hadn't noticed? All of my hair all over decided on a pilgrimage to my head.

Watch out when using humor to deflect questions. It's easy to come across as defensive and uncomfortable with the question, and if you're uncomfortable that can easily be interpreted as knowing you've done something wrong. It's important to stand your ground to some extent, here, and let people know that you're entirely comfortable with your choices. It's okay if you aren't really ready to discuss the subject ... just be careful about the perception you create.

If you must stick with the one-liner approach then go for something positive. "I thought breasts would go nicely with my nail polish."

But, actually, picking up on Kimberly's point, you do sound defensive. I don't know about work - that's one problem where humour might be appropriate (though including, on some level an admission of TS/TG status). But, with your family they're probably going to want at least one straight heart to heart.

If it's true that you feel defensive about talking to them, you really have to sit down and work out just exactly what's bothering you. At least part of it would have to be telling them their son wants to turn into their daughter. But, maybe there's other issues to do with explaining why you haven't been able to tell them earlier.

The answer to both questions might be that, until recently, you didn't know where you were going with this stuff.

I guess it may sound defensive a bit, but its not so much that for me. Its more a case of allaying fears with my parents. Ive always had a wisecrack comment for them, and i would never just drop that out without a proper explanation, nooooo way.

Its impossible to plan this convo, and i have no problem displaying why what im doing is right for me. Just the same, some comical ammo would display the person they thought they knew to a degree, without it they would be seriously worried!. Itll be a whole mix up when this stinkbomb gets opened hahaha.

' didnt really know where im going with this stuff' ? - does anyone really know where theyre going tho?. My wife and i were talking about this, and i guess we both knew where its been headed. Shes said since the beginning that ill do SRS. I didnt think i would ever consider it, yet look at me now... Now that i am sure its a life thing, itd be wrong to hide it from my family. Its not like i cant say anything at all cos im changing sooo much. I wont lie to anyone, so its time.

I can see three of Davitas lines im gonna use! This is gonna be a hoot!

You could say your wife came home and found you trying on some of her clothes and said you look nice so would you like to have your own boobs as well ? Or would you like to be a girl, after that you just felt that you would like to experiment how it would be and here you are!

It's prolly cause i know you so well that i don't see any of this as defensiveness, and i think that those apples don't fall far from the tree.
By which i mean, as you also pointed out, that they will be more comfortable with at least a little bit of humor.

And yeah, trying to plan a convo is impossible, as you can't predict the exact wording they will use, nor the context or tone, but you can have the basic facts at the ready.
It is true that the total truth of 'why' is unanswerable, but you can and should have the basic facts ready, as you've been describing them on the boards. The nutshell summary is prolly something along the lines of billy shakespeare'ss ol refrain 'to thine ownself be true', but you can flavor it however seems best at the moment.

Some other things to think about.
Have you already had the real deal, 100%, this is where i'm headed with this, talk with your wonderful children? Yes they have totally and unconditionally accepted and supported you, but do they know in fact that you may become a woman (or moreso)?

And if so, and if they would be okay with it, then perhaps having your wife and children along side of you as you sit with your folks may be helpful? And i don't mean for you, i mean for them, afterall, one of their earliest questions will be "what about your wife and kids?"

But as i said before, there are some theories afloat that chemicals (a particular and no longer used pesticide have been known cause sex changes in animals) are to blame.
You can then throw in....... since this dreadful thing is happening and you can't stop it, that you might as well grin and bear it.

Well, they said on the news that it was becoming a woman's world, so I'm just trying to stay ahead of the game!

Just simply tell it like it is Karin.

It's a horrible prospect, but it seems to me , if there ever was a time for not planning, and just letting what happens happen, this is it. Perhaps the one liner will present itself, perhaps you will collapse in tears and beg forgiveness for the last 40 years of your life. Either way, if you are honest, then they will have to respond, and you will have some idea where you stand.

1. I've been drinking a lot of bourbon. - rim shot!
2. I have been meaning to go see the doctor about this.
3. I've been bitten by a snake!
4. Spring is busting out all over...! - you have to sing.
5. I was bitten by some really large mosquitoes.
6. I fell flat on my chest and their just swollen.
7. What?
8. Orange - ain't that a pear?
9. I'm going through late puberty.
10. I have always wanted breasts - get over it! TA-DA!

Well you could use a large ace bandage, or you could call and arrange to meet her in a quiet place come in wearing a baggy jacket and tell her. Mom, we need to talk...?
