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 Outdated or offensive terms can hurt, so it’s okay to set boundaries about how others address you.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 think of myself as somewhere on the transgender scale-becoming more and more feminine.
I guess I see myself as both male and female, but I do feel like a woman, so I would have to say transgender woman. My SO, (gg),told me that she sees me as her partner instead of boyfriend or girlfriend.
Presently I am a Transgender Woman. After complete my Transition I am a woman.
I would think of myself just a woman after transition, period.

I’m a trangender female who just sees herself as a female and once my transition is complete I will only see myself as just a female (women). The detail will only be between myself and my partner who ever she is.
I usually say crossdresser if I tell anyone, but I wouldn’t mind another label, such as Transwoman, because as many of us, I associate with both genders, but I find myself uncomfortable when people say ‘sir’, or ‘mister’, because I am trying to identify with my female self much more.
