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 Outdated or offensive terms can hurt, so it’s okay to set boundaries about how others address you.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

Woman I love saying woman.
I usually use crossdresser and proud of it, or transgender. My therapist says I have a feminine persona. I don’t use that. Sometimes, if I’m in a strange mood I will use TV or transvestite, from Transylvania, of course.
I’d say Transgender, but at three score & 10 it is too late for SRS so I dress in casual age appropriate female attire most of the time. Love womens clothing choices and textures and shoes to die for. I’m not a big person so there are many choices in shoes that I can wear daily. My wife and I share. She is understanding and a big help to me. I still take Fenugreek daily as it tend to keep me in a Female mood.
What did you mean at 3 score & 10 CLEARLY I am not up to date withthe lingo

I label myself as a Woman
Why does society dictate we have to be one or the other. We should not support having to choose a specific gender group tag as for many suffering gender Dysphoria it is a constant daily battle between their boy and girl sides and causes distress at different times for identifying either way.
After 36 years presenting as stereotypical alpha male I am now able to live between the lines ,my friends refer to me as a hybrid as I am comftable as either He,She or a he-she mix .
Society has positively moved on soo much in my life time that the next generation suffering GD should have the same cultural acceptance that the Gay and Lesbian community now has!
Struggling at 59 with life long issues and wanting to not ruin my life. New job coming up. How to handle getting to be right.
