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 Outdated or offensive terms can hurt, so it’s okay to set boundaries about how others address you.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

Well what a question, I think it depends on how others see me, most of my male friends call me girl or woman, Daily I tend to dress as a gay female dyke shirts, boyfriend jeans low heeled boots, shortish hair etc I like the look and I still fancy women as much as men so the look comes in handy, and I get the look if you know what I mean, I see myself as a gay female in a guys body, very much a woman when I am with a guy, and sometimes I have to dress fully as a guy to suite family I dont like the words tranny or crossdresser, but tgirl is cool I think and mmm sissy is to lol if he has big biceps, strong hands and a nice smile
I am a male but almost having the body of femal like big breasts. I use to wear always bra as I have very large breeasts.(42″ C cup)I wear bra always and it is visible through my cloth but I don’t care what people call. I have great satisfaction when I wear bra and women cloths. let people call whatever they like i don’t care.

I really don’t care what “Name” someone gives to my proclivity. . . When I’m dressed as Marilyn I want to be considered a “Woman” in every way. . .
Very simple, I am a woman. I was born a woman and someone gave me the wrong body at the checkout counter. Simple, isn’t it.

I am a misfortune of nature a transegender woman
well regards to your question dear one i prefer shemale as every guy is a xy chromosone so every guy is a half male/female
whether they like it or not – as most men deny there trueself – and are very fearful at exploring there trueself – but i think the word shemale is so sexy so hot – so seductive mmmmmmmm my type of label lol
Well, I prefere the spanish word Muxe,fore me it is a perfect discription of how I am.But I dont mind how others lable me as long as it is in a respectfull way.
(In Zapotec cultures of Oaxaca (southern Mexico), a muxe [muxe?] is a physically male individual who dresses and behaves in a feminine manner; they may be seen as a third gender.)
