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 Outdated or offensive terms can hurt, so it’s okay to set boundaries about how others address you.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

I am going to go with ME. I believe labels do not fully describe a person, and what one person thinks the label means may not be what another thinks. I have a label, it is my name but what does anyone else think of it depends if they know another Cindy, or Lucille, etc. To know my label you have to get to know ME.
I am a woman. Transgender I guess. I am a woman, not they body that I was thrust into at birth. I hate labels. I was called girly, queer, tiny, pantywaist and a bunch of other names. I hate them all. I just want to be me.
I’ve spent the better part of 50 years trying to figure it out. Labels have not helped.
I guess I’m just me.
I consider myself a transsexual woman , I know that I am a woman born in a males body, have been diagnosed as transsexual , finally have been dressing mostly at home as of late, am dressed as a male when going out in public . Would love to dress full time , mostly become a female ,
I r most refer to myself as transgender, but when I fill out applications or mention anything about my sex it’s female. I like to consider myself a woman so the transgender reference is only something I tell people when I’m not living full time as a woman.
I have evolved in my feelings over my lifetime to the point that I identify as a non-op TS/transgender woman
this is a very interesting subject, I have been blessed by being born an Androgynous person, I love bringing confusion into the narrow minded western culture, I feel comfortable wearing fem attire most of the time, however I tone it down just to save myself from ridicule, but under those tight fitting jeans, I wear panties, maybe lace stockings and under the t’shirt a silk cami always, what label would that be? I have had people ask me if I am “Metro-sexual” or ? my answer is always “I am what God wanted me to be”, male and female.
Being one that has just come out to my wife and now feeling like a budding flower that has yet to open I would consider myself as a crossdresser. I am not sure what name, if any, I would be comfortable with as I become more comfortable with myself.
