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 Outdated or offensive terms can hurt, so it’s okay to set boundaries about how others address you.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

I a`m a Translesbian
Hi Angelica, Same here you are not alone. I to am a mis-bodied lesbian. But on the positive side I am a lesbian that has fathered three children and I don’t regret them.
As I have evolved I have used a few labels. When I started to dress I used the label transvestite. Then when I began to go out in public and knew it was more than just the clothes I told people I was transgendered for the last 20 years. Now I am on the verge of living full time as Sarah and so now I am more comfortable in calling myself a transgendered woman, because inside I feel that I am a woman.
Well I have been called a lot of different names, but if I must be labeled then I would have to say a trans woman. I myself see me as just the girl next door, Michelle, striving to find peace and happiness.
I guess now trans woman. My wife just gave the go ahead with my translation. But I really don’t care what any one thinks anyway.
Heterosexual crossdresser, period.
I’m not “Trans…” anything.
I’m a Girl in Transition, since I just started out. Hopefully once I’m done, I don’t need any labels anymore and just be called a girl or a woman.
