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 Outdated or offensive terms can hurt, so it’s okay to set boundaries about how others address you.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 feel my self crossdresser who is more feminine than masculine.Maybe 60 female and 40 male
T-Girl. But, I have a huge sissy submissive side to me.
If I wasn’t so tall (6’6″ or 2m) I think I could pass and dress MUCH more often. But I do enjoy my ‘softer’ side very much. I am one extreme or the other (butch/feminine) but primarily MALE because of who I am and what I do. So I guess I will say I am a T-Girl because to me that covers CD/TV/TS/etc… LOT’S of etc…. 😉 cause we are certainly a mixed bag of people from what I have seen and read about….

Lucille,The problem I have is that some people are lead to believe transgender people are to be laughed at or beat the shit out of them and think that it is funny,which makes them a bunch of hypocrites and I myself do not like being labeled by someone else………………
Call me anything, just call me sexy. 😉
Very Sexy Sherri!
Thanks, Roberta. 🙂
Like many of us in this group, I have to keep my professional life in the male image -to get things done! Although, I did get a chance to work outside on my truck en femme. Few of the neighbors stopped by to watch me work! It is sheer joy stepping out in town as a lady. I have an extremely supportive partner who has encouraged me to really polish myself and shine as a woman. I feel more woman than man but to be able to express myself as either is empowering.

I feel comfortable with transgender or transwoman.
