Post by: SomebodyThatIUsedToKnow on July 14, 2016, 05:48:06 AM
Hello, I'm currently 13 years old and I has always think I was a girl since I was 3, my friend do support me which is great but my parents kinda hates me because of this, anyone got any tips to get girl clothes, wigs and makeup without an adult? I do have money because my mom gave me a credit card a few months ago.

Try shopping online? Amazon have a good lace front wig selection.
If you don't want your mum to see it maybe try having them delivered to yours friends' house if they are supportive?

Welcome to Susan's Place. At 13 years old you should consider growing your own hair out as good wigs tend to be expensive. Many cuts can be worn by a man or a woman and often are just a case of styling a bit different. Look here (http://www.hairfinder.com) and you may find something you would like to try. As for clothes, most large stores have an online store as well. In the United States name such as Walmart, Target and JC Penney all have online stores and some items can only be purchased on line. A word of warning, you parent will see the credit card bill and know you made the purchase. If they don't approve of what you bought, you may lose the credit card. If there is anything I can help you with, let me know.

Dena is spot on about the credit card.  But...  Amazon has gift cards!  Buy these with cash at a local supermarket in denominations sufficient to cover your purchases.   If you stick to ordering only items sold by or fulfilled by Amazon, you'll have fewer boxes coming to your home to track and intercept.

Not that I've ever resorted to doing something like this... ;)

Shopping online could be possible, but growing my hair out is pretty much impossible because my parents could predict what I was going to do, maybe I could get the money out and buy it directly in the store. I live in Vietnam btw

Are your parents expatriates or Christian missionaries?  I am a little surprised that they are intolerant.  Most Vietnamese folks are Buddhists and they tend to be very tolerant of gay people and transgenders.

Firstly, I say grow your hair out a bit, a lot of teenage boys have longer hair and but clip in hair extensions, they look so much better than wigs ever do.
They're also cheaper.

I grew my hair out a bit, used extensions until my hair was long enough to style it.

Now is your friend female? if so, just put a few dollars away weekly and go shopping with her.
Go to op shops (second hand shops) and buy from there, building a wardrobe will cost a fair bit.

as for unsupportive parents, cannot help you there
