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 Outdated or offensive terms can hurt, so it’s okay to set boundaries about how others address you.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 am a transgender woman. Is seems clearer and easier for another person to understand than a Transwoman.
Which “label” do you identify with?
Transgender woman
Crossdresser
Transwoman
T-girl
Something else?
At first…confused
Later…Crossdresser
Later…Trans-curious
Now…I know who and what I am….importantly to myself and my loved ones……..ME!
Me
No, not really I don’t ”do” labels, even when not ”dressed” I am frequently taken for a woman, I used to worry about it, as I was afraid of Consequence’s, but now I don’t even bother to correct people when they call me Mrs, madam, or Ms, it really doesn’t seem to matter how I dress, unless I try to be overtly masculine in manner, speech, and body language, I am often though not always perceived as female!
This has been a feature of my life for years, just about as long as I can remember, I just don’t worry now, I often carry a shoulder bag, wear bright colours, coordinate my outfits, wear ankle boots or low heel pumps.
I use feminine toiletries, and pretty much always have, I only wear feminine underwear, not as some sort of fetish but just because I’m comfy and it feels natural.
So what am I?, why do we need labels, just celebrate being you!
I want to say, “something else”. I don’t know what I am, from a child I always was attracted to female things. I now wear panties 24/7 and try to wear female clothing as much as possible. I don’t get excited( sexually) when I’m wearing them, it just seems natural.
i am very proud to be a cross dresser and i have been building up a wardrobe of women’s clothes for me to wear when i dress like a woman and i have began to even start to think like a woman and i just like the way a look like a woman when i dress like a woman
I am a transwoman i have been told i look better as a woman than a man. And i LOVE BEING A GIRLY GIRL who loves her seamed stockings and heels it makes me feel like the
Woman i should have been x
I am between a cross dresser and a transgender woman I love the feel of when I dress like a woman I was meant to be a woman since I’ve been 5 years old always love to wear women’s clothes especially stockings and high heels makes me feel so very sexy
