When it comes to expressing your gender identity, navigating labels can be tricky. For those identifying as transgender or non-binary, finding the right words is essential.
Obviously, it’s important for people to use language that respects and reflects your identity. Outdated or offensive terms can be hurtful.
However, it’s important to remember that you’re more than just a label!
Ultimately, what matters most is how you personally want to be addressed, regardless of where you fall on the gender spectrum.
So, let’s talk about it!
Do you have a particular term or label that resonates with you – such as crossdresser, transgender woman, non-binary person, or something else?
I’m eager to hear your thoughts, so let’s continue the conversation in the comments below!
Love,

My fiancé feels I’m bi-sexual, and she encourages me to accept that. I enjoy being a woman and have had a few adult bookstore encounters in a submissive role, but am not attracted to men. I am, and always have been attracted to women. So, I consider myself straight even though I have engaged in what would be considered gay activity. I thought of myself as a woman during those encounters and didn’t view the men through the lens of attraction, just the sexual activity. I enjoy being with women who treat me as a woman and dominate and I absolutely find women attractive in every way.
I may sound confused, but is there anyone else who perceives it the way I do?
Thanks,
Kiki.
As a female , any male goes! sexually speaking,when the opposite sex likes what they see, male or female, in a male role a female is as sexy when she commits fully to the relationship. As a transgender male(m to F) the ultimate feeling is being accepted,
by either gender.I get horny when I am dressed to the 9’s and charmed and shown appreciation in my role.

The road from MtoF is a long one. Especially if you start late in life. All I ever wanted was to be identified as a normal woman. Labels to me have always felt like just one more obstacle for me to climb over to reach my goal. I have been living as a woman for a few years. I’m concerned that with more and more people transitioning, society in general will accept us as some kind of new 3rd sex. Like California wanting to create TG bathrooms in there public schools. Im concerned that someday the law is not going to let me decide between M or F on my drivers license but TG!
iam all woman in my heart , however I am very comfortable to call myself transgendered
The *only* label I put on myself is “Lady in Waiting”… 😉
I am 57 new at cross dressing I love to shop for women’s clothing and wearing heels I am shopping for my first wigg I love my new life
I prefer to be known as a transvestite. I am now 64. A little about myself. I have known I was different since the age of 5. At 13 started buying my own womens clothes and wearing my sisters. At age 20 started dressing and going out. Between age 16 and 30 I went through 2 councillors and two doctors, none help with the urge to cross dress. Married at 30, wife did not know and kept it secret from her for 30 years. Dressed when she was away or I was away on business. 8 years ago saw another councillor, who was no help to me. The guilt and anxiety was killing me. I told my wife, she left for a while and I gave her space to think things threw.I found another councillor who specializes in gender issues. She is the first one to help me understand me, accept who I am and if others have a problem with the dressing it is their problem. I no longer beat my self up. My wife was away for 6 months, we worked things out, she ok with me dressing and going out just don’t involve her, however she has been coming with me to a support group called transfamily. I have always dressed in women’s jeans, slacks, socks, shirts and she never picked up on this. Since telling her I now underdress daily, she comments on bra straps showing but accepts it is, what it is. She has some unofficial boundaries, no nightgowns I can wear silk PJ’s or panties and tank tops to bed. My shoes are all women’s and have 2 to 3 inch heals. no one notices. The hair is gone, face, chest, belly, back and legs. All lasered away. I wear foundation and light mascara daily even in male mode, no one seems to care. Depending on the season, in the winter my toes are always done in bright colours and in the summer light pink. my hands are always in light pink. We have come a long way over the last 8 years, it has not been smooth, my children, paster, sisters, best friend’s and son’s fiance and her family know. They are all OK with it. All comment that I am much more relaxed. I can now be true to myself. I have had genetic/gender testing done in a gender research hospital, and my brain is definitely part female. The researchers conclude the fetus testosterone wash in the 8 to 13 week trimester was interrupted and insufficient to fully masculinize my brain. My mother was prescribed anti depression drugs now known to affect fetus development while pregnant which may have caused the problem.
A councilor told me if it makes you happy do it, just keeping a secret has been difficult, trying not to bring the other family into a realm that is often hard to understand.
I have been faced with a spiritual task to perform while a male in this lifetime.Just need to keep a spiritually understanding companion close by and hopefully an accepting relationship.
It is fun when both wear sexy looking nighties to bed.
when i am myself i consider myself a lady, with me being out in public (my job in a convience store) i get a lot of compliments from the customers. I even get asked out on dates from guys ( sorry guys not in the market) when i get asked out by the ladies now thats progress.
I don’t really label myself, but I’d go with: bisexual woman. MtoF if you want to be technical. But im definitely a woman heart and soul
