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 Outdated or offensive terms can be hurtful.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!

I consider myself a Man with a very strong Female side. I work to celebrate and express both my masculinity and femininity. I love being feminine, girly and pretty but I also equally love being a strong man with a passion for WWII history and fixing stuff.
I am a total cross dresser the only time I feel like a woman is in a sexual relationship I do enjoy the female role sexually and get most excited when I am being feminine and making love to another feminine cross dresser
i am the something else… i have days where i am all woman and just love life and wanna show it in what i wear and my attitude and how i present myself. but then there are days i have where i’m way too man for my own good. my bestie says im the “best of both” and its kinda fun to find out how i feel every morning when i wake up
When dressed as female, I am female. I prefer t-girl, and absolutely hate transvestite. To me that seems vulgar.
That’s interesting. I prefer “transvestite,” perhaps because when I was growing up they still taught Latin in school. To me, “crossdresser” is vulgar because it’s just a clumsy translation of the Latin. Generally I accept any term as long as it is used with respect.
Lately I’ve been using the term “transgender male” to describe myself because I have no problem with my male body, it’s just that my spirit doesn’t fit the societal expectation of males.
Please re-read my comment. I was stating what *I* though about the terms. I don’t need Google to tell me how I feel about something, nor does Google confer any authority on the opinions of others about the terms.
You need to educate yourself. Look up in google te “7 correct terms to identify as transgender” You will see that the term crossdresser is not considered vulgar, but that most of us do consider transvestite as vulgar. Transvestite is a very old outdated term.
I am A Girl/Woman! I was born into a males body but I am still a Woman!
The genitalia in my pants do not define me, when I try to be a man I am totally miserable because it feels all wrong and that I am telling a lie and trying to be deceitful to the world about who I am
Transgender woman, now. I still allow ‘T-girl’, as long as people use feminine pronouns, I’m okay.
If you asked me about it a few weeks ago I would have said crossdresser in a minute. Now however I’m not so sure. After hearing more about the lives of transwomen and seeing the similarities lying in between, I think I’m nearing the territory of transgender woman who’s still in the closet.
When dressed as a woman, that is what I am a woman. Ihave a BF who wants to marry me and live as his female wife. If and when that happens, that is what I will be his female wife whether or not I do the whole vaginoplasty thing or not. First change would be to have breast implants, that would then define me to the world as a woman. But I will always be his wife and he will alwasy be my husband.
