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 Outdated or offensive terms can hurt, so it’s okay to set boundaries about how others address you.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

In life I refer to myself as woman In the Dr. office gender female sex Male
Just being referred to as a girl is the best. But if someone has to have a label for us then I’m ok with “Transgender female” and personally have no issue with “t-girl” or “transgirl.”
i prefer being called ” Mam” .i am over 60 an told that i only look in my early 50s. For the people that know, Lordy, people have to tell others if they know, so to them i tell them i am truly TRANSGENDER. even some doctor friends figured that out . i am out all the time , an am not ashamed of who i really am..

You are very attractive Ma’am.
I do not like labels but I can see where they can be helpful. I am not sure on the wording So I would call myself transgrender women for now
I hate it when people refer to us as gay or homosexual. That does not fit me at all as I don’t consider myself as being a male emotionally or mentally.
hey Lucille.
I find that ignorance really annoying too, and as far as “labels”, I identify myself as a transexual woman. 🙂

Since I am already taking hormones to change my body and mind, I consider myself a transsexual woman.
As a girl, the best label ever,:-)
I would call myself a crossdresser at the moment because I only dress up part time. In saying that I still like to be treated as a girl.
mmm food for thought.
