When it comes to expressing your gender identity, navigating labels can be tricky. For those identifying as transgender or non-binary, finding the right words is essential.
Obviously, it’s important for people to use language that respects and reflects your identity. Outdated or offensive terms can be hurtful.
However, it’s important to remember that you’re more than just a label!
Ultimately, what matters most is how you personally want to be addressed, regardless of where you fall on the gender spectrum.
So, let’s talk about it!
Do you have a particular term or label that resonates with you – such as crossdresser, transgender woman, non-binary person, or something else?
I’m eager to hear your thoughts, so let’s continue the conversation in the comments below!
Love,
Lucille
In an ongoing transition I have been encouraged to use a transwomen ID and since I love my cisgender women partner I am apparently a trans-lesbian.
Hi. This started off as a difficult journey. At the start I was put on medication for a male problem. This medication has changed my whole life, giving me real breasts, less body hair, beautiful nails and more besides. Three years ago I would never have thought things would change so dramatically. I am awaiting an appointment at a transgender clinic to see what my options are. In my mind I am female. My body is gradually reshaping and I really enjoy lingerie. So my gender is to me, not as defined so I would class myself as gender confused and perhaps non-binary. Thank you for to your support and the blogs you post.
For a long time, I wasn’t sure how to “label” myself. My mind and appearance aren’t always agreeing, so non-binary probably is the best fit. Which has led to many purges, anxiety and bouts of dysphoria. Like a tug-of-war. I’ve been on hrt for 6.5 years. It has helped calm my head. I had hoped that the gender struggle was over for me, but apparently not, as my male side again has the need to re-emerge and dominate. I’ve stopped hrt and I have the option of starting again but at this time, I have no plan. Thank you, Lucille for your help and advice. And thank you gang for your kind comments. Aloha.
Hi Morgan, thank you for sharing. I think it’s great if you can embrace the fluidity – there is good on both sides!
