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 Outdated or offensive terms can hurt, so it’s okay to set boundaries about how others address you.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!
Love,

USUALLY TRANSGENDER WOMAN BUT THIS CAN VARY.
I DON’T HAVE ANY HARD AND FAST RULES ABOUT IT.
I’M QUITE FLEXIBLE AND I’M NOT EASILY OFFENDED.
I have lived virtually my entire life in the wearing of women’s clothes, but only in the last 30 years or so have I come to realize that I am definately a female in the wrong body and though I am married to a female I still dress as often as possible and my undergarments are always female. I won’t divorce her as I do not believe in divorce. I made the commitment will not break it though it is difficult for me at times as she does not really have a full understanding of how I feel.
I usually stay away from any title. One of the problems is that the “community” itself is ambiguous and undecided. I spend the overwhelming percentage of my life as a woman. That’s how my friends see me. That’s how my dates see me. Frankly, that’s how I see me. Isn’t that all that matters?
Perhaps it is due to having been a salesperson for most of my life, but I am very aware of my words,
When describing my self, I say the following; “I identify as Transgender and am a non-op male to female Transsexual.”
I consider myself a male crossdresser. I’m male thru and thru. I present female from the waist down, but male above. I dress to satisfy my feminine feelings and desires. I love the female form and being with my wife. It’s a psychological thing for me. I like the fem feeling of a skirt and heels.
I consider myself a crossdresser. What others label me as is irrelevant. My goal is not so much to pass in public as it is to just enjoy wearing comfortable and sexy clothes. Nothing feels better than a bra and panties under a skirt and blouse or dress. Add pantyhose and heels and i’m in heaven.
My heart Is female ; unfortunately it is wrapped up in a male body. However whether
I am stark naked or sensationally attired I will be a woman till the day I die nothing can or will ever change that. Therefore as with making any building;first get the foundation right then comes everything else. I would urge
our readers to first love and believe in themselves
love Jen^0^
i consider myself as a crossdresser or a tranny because i try to dress as a female as possible because i love the feel and i love how i look as a female because sometimes i wish i could live my life as a woman
