Choosing the right words to describe your gender identity can feel tricky. For transgender and non-binary people, finding a label that fits is personal and important.
Using respectful language matters. Outdated or offensive terms can hurt, so it’s okay to set boundaries about how others address you.
At the same time, you are more than a label. What matters most is how you choose to define yourself, no matter where you are on the gender spectrum.
Do you have a label that feels right – like crossdresser, transgender woman, non-binary, or something else?
I’d love to hear your thoughts, so let’s continue the conversation in the comments below!

A woman of course
I think of myself as a pretend girl who wishes I was a real girl.
I prefer the phrase TRANS GENDER OR T-GIRL OR SHE. I am doing this because I am a woman inside and that should fit the outside. It is an amazing thing that can be done now days.
am a transvestite , going toward a trans women, but environment impedes being a trans woman as much as I would like.
It’s not a label. It’s my essence. I am a girl who was born in the wrong body. And I work intensive every day to come to me.
Labels embarrass me.
I prefer transwoman. But as I get closer to SRS I have been think of myself as a woman with a trans past.
Most importantly, you are YOU and that is what counts!!
That is beautifully said, Janet, thank you

Great comment Janet, and an Amen to that one SISTA-Janet, I feel the same way almost always as my MARKER has been “F” since March 2010 ^_^ I cannot believe it, times flys, it will be a year I received my marker in 6 days, OMG. ^_^ and as I get closer to “fix” something in my “plumbing”… I get excited, frustrated and so many other emotions, but it becomes hard and up and down on many levels, but SMILES all around.
