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 Outdated or offensive terms can hurt, so it’s okay to set boundaries about how others address you.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

For myself, I prefer the label Transgender. There are certain aspects of my maleness that I can live with, but I feel more female than male. In that way, I feel like I’m between genders a bit, and I want the chance to express both sides of myself. That’s why I prefer to be called Transgender.
I’m ok with being called a crossdresser, I know I’m not a woman, but Man I feel like a Woman when I’m dressed
I am transgendered….starting to explore the outside world. Going to support group meetings, shopping for first time enfemme, and going to clubs twice! Going tonight….can’t wait!
I consider myself Transgendered. Genetically male but prefer to be female. I will do anything short of SRS at this time to be a woman as that is my preference. I think that the many labels are out of ignorance or possibly fear. I know one person that very loudly bashes anything other than the stereotypical male/female roles in our American society yet he wears panties and other feminine attire. We have talked and he is so afraid of being caught and then thus labeled as he does to others. Not a good advocate for acceptance. As for myself I accept any lifestyle a person chooses as long as it is not harmful to themselves or others.
i don’t have a label, labels belong on tins of beans but i consider myself as a female (some say a transsexual woman)i don’t mind being called a t girl.xxx
I think we all fall under the Trans gender umbrella, cross dressers enjoy dressing in women clothes, there’s a feminine side in their personality; transsexual feel that that they were born in the wrong body or their gender they were born in doesn’t match the way they feel about themselves
The answer is fairly simple for me…I am a person…there are manys traits and characteristics that make us who we are as a person.

I don’t really like labels”.
I consider myself a “transwoman” or “she-male;\a female in a guy body. I am just not the true me-myself unless I
am dressed, look, BE a gurl!! man body or not.
When i do dress/look like a guy I feel deep down that I am not being me- a gurl, a female. I see & look at myself as a gurl in all ways.
