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 Outdated or offensive terms can hurt, so it’s okay to set boundaries about how others address you.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,
Lucille
I totally 1,000,000,000% hate labels. I was BORN a Woman plain and simple. It is not the “outside” that is important it is the “inside the soul” that makes a person.
We are told not “to judge a book by it’s cover” then why do we do it with people.
I knew before I was 10 years old that I was a girl, but my parents could only see the “cover” and because of that I was forced to be a person (a boy) that I was not.
Who am I? I am a Woman!!!!!, nothing else is acceptable.
Being in closet at work and out to select friends and also having a strong attraction to girls/gurls and select males.
Labeling is impossible.
So how does a hetero flexible with trans-gender tendencies sound?
Hi Lucille:
To me I am just a full time woman in a modified male body and my sexual preference is with females.

Lucille:
I’m a crossdresser and I enjoy it
now if anyone has a probblem with that
they need to try to live there own lives and
not worry about us. They need to try it
they mint like it. Then what do we call them.
I don’t bother anyone and I don’t
labor anyone. Call girl call me anything I
feel more relaxed doing what I do. I’m
not bothered with any labor.

Don’t care what people say. i used to wear bra as my breast are bigger.
Well said Bobbi. But let us take is a step further. We are all human beings, borned to this earth to live out our lives and to be the best that we can be. If being the best takes one into his or her relm of cd’ing and that is the best we are then accept us as who we are not what we wear, or how we act. i myself am total female inside but do to my master wishes all that will remain only with me. But i assure you that when i do come out, and the female in me takes control, what people call me will not matter, because I will know that I am me, finially.
Think about it, if all the worlds populationwould just accept there neighbor as whoever they are and not “label” them, well i can only say “What a wonderful world this would be”.
Idealistic, yea, but to just start with myself I know that I am doing my part and as long as we have places like this to grow in, well, i could go on and on but this is something that as far back as you care to go in history, labels have been given to people, albeit in names, races, tribes, whatever you wish to call it, but it all boils down to we are who we are. Accept us for being ourselves and don’t make us be who we ARE NOT.
Sorry for the rambling you all.
LOVE AND PEACE BE YOURS FOR LIFE.
