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 Outdated or offensive terms can hurt, so it’s okay to set boundaries about how others address you.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

Yes I like to respond to the remarks on Which “label” do you identify with when people call us ◾Transgender woman ◾Crossdresser ◾Transwoman or ◾T-girl. People need to stop call these name because it is a business proposition of crimes of human trafficking , sex slaves of man and women’s there are in transaction of M to F / F TO M . We are easy targets for criminals . Here’s a sample . Can be confused Expand
Mrs, Ms.
Usage note Expand
Ms. came into use in the 1950s as a title before a woman’s surname when her marital status was unknown or irrelevant. In the early 1970s, the use of Ms. was adopted and encouraged by the women’s movement, the reasoning being that since a man’s marital status is not revealed by the title Mr., there is no reason that a woman’s status should be revealed by her title. Since then Ms. has gained increasing currency, especially in business and professional use. Some women prefer the traditional Miss (still fully standard for a woman whose marital status is unknown and for an unmarried woman) or, when appropriate, Mrs.
Newspaper editors sometimes reject Ms. except in quoted matter. Others use whichever of the three titles a woman prefers if her preference is known. Increasingly, newspapers avoid the use of all three titles by referring to women by their full names in first references ( Sarah Brady; Margaret Bourke-White) and by surname only, as with men, in subsequent references: Brady, Bourke-White . Since all three titles— Ms., Miss, and Mrs. —remain in use, the preference of the woman being named or addressed or the practice of the organization or publication in which the name is to appear is often followed. Yes I’m born as a man , but I am a woman who cares what society says . I do not blame ” God ” or society . People are just afraid of unknown or can explain . So girlfriend be the woman that you are . God bless all of us
Thanks

Im transgender (M to F) and i prefer just being called a woman, because that is what i have always wanted to be. but people in my area call me “Ladyboy” or “Trany” i dislike being called these names but it cant be helped really… most people in my area support me and the only grief i do get is from Kids and teens and some adults that are ignorant
Both Transvestite AND Shemale Seem To Fit My Style Of Cross Dressing The Best! While I Strive To Project A Pretty, Perky, Feminine, Fun-loving, Romantic, Sociable, Appearance & Personality; I Must Admit That There Is A Real Hot Streak Of Sissification And BDSM Type Humiliation, Subjugation & Inter-Racial Desires That Runs Deep & Overflows When I Am In The Right (Safe) Situation With The Right, Willing & Excited Person. Kind Of Like The “Good Girl” Who Likes To Walk In “The Gutter” & Flirts With An Occasional “Walk On The Wild Side!” Why Try To Figure It Out; Just Go With The Flow Of Life!
These days, I call myself a sissy, partially because it is a humiliating label to wear (and I kinda dig humiliation), but mainly because I am trying to reclaim the label from sexually inhibited bigots and learn to wear it with pride. It’s a pretty straight forward description of who I am and what I am like. I’m a small shy girly boy who likes to wear panties and hang out with the girls.
I dislike labels. I am bisexual and I like to crossdress. What does that make me? It makes me who I have always been. I get tired of trying to find help and resources only to be inundated by fetish sites and porn for the most part. I am NOT a fetish! My sexual relationships with women helps my female half become more clear and defined to me. If I do it for a man it is for MY pleasure. Not his. I don’t care what the rest of the Internet says I should be. So few true resources out there for people like me. Even fewer that are up to date. It’s difficult living this life with nobody that can or are willing to understand.
i like being known as a bi-sexual crossdresser.
I can only be who I am and dream about what I should have been
I don’t mind being called a “Shemale,” to me it sounds sexy.
I’m a girl or a woman and that is all I care to be.
