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 Outdated or offensive terms can hurt, so it’s okay to set boundaries about how others address you.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

Firstly I do not belong to ANYONE EXCEPT MYSELF therefore I am NOT one of your girls.
I cross dress, have no intention of becoming a woman but am a confirmed heterosexual CROSS DRESSER.
I’m comfortable with being called a woman mostly but so far I’m ok with being called a transgender woman 🙂
I’m quite comfortable with the tag “transgender woman.” As a woman I take pride in that label, and I feel good about knowing who I am. There need is no indignity or aberrance connected with being female. The term “transgender” clarifies the evident incongruity between my outward appearance and the real inward me.
Hugs an a peck on the cheek to all.

I too don’t go in for labels, because this topic, as with so many, is too complex to slap any one of a host of labels on. In my case, I enjoy being a man, but love women’s clothes, and everything girly, and feeling girly, so dress and act appropriately feminine when I do and thoroughly enjoy it. This seems more than just calling myself a “cross dresser,” and perhaps not enough to refer to myself as “Transgendered”. Gender fluid isn’t to my liking either, because there’s nothing fluid about me when I’m Randa the no question about it girly girl. Maybe a “part time alter ego T gurl?” See what I mean about this labeling business? I think probably we should all be based in the label of Transgendered because how and to whatever extent we are, we are doing something considered to be associated with the gender of the opposite biological sex. I hope a day will eventually come when the feminine and masculine gender behaviors are no longer considered the province of the one sex or the other, and despite the plumbing, each can display whatever gender or mix of genders soots them, and that be considered the new normal.
Wishing all the best,

Hey, I don’t exactly know if I really go under “Your girls” per se, but I have been enjoying this “blog” immensely (lurking, completely). I’m also not sure how welcome I really am, but nevertheless I feel like posting my thoughts on this one.
I started out just liking the idea of women’s clothing as a part of a humiliating aspect of sexual teasing and such, but have reached a point where I think of crossdressing as a part of my personal interests. It’s a hobby on par with building computers, writing lyrical texts or painting, just something I do because I enjoy it. Through that discovery I also kind of had to redefine my “gender” and while I’m not much for these “omnigedered, Pansexual, etc.”… Terms, that some people frequent on the internet, I myself life and feel like a man in my everyday, but have a passionate craving to open up a feminine side that stays hidden throughout my day-to-day life.
In short: I define myself as a man with interest in crossdressing.
I hate to be labelled. Yes
i wear women’s dresses.
i feel like a woman.
i think like a woman
BUt i have a man’s body
I am happy as i am
I love to buy women’s clothing and wigs I want to be a full-time crosser some day
