When it comes to expressing your gender identity, navigating labels can be tricky. For those identifying as transgender or non-binary, finding the right words is essential.
Obviously, it’s important for people to use language that respects and reflects your identity. Outdated or offensive terms can be hurtful.
However, it’s important to remember that you’re more than just a label!
Ultimately, what matters most is how you personally want to be addressed, regardless of where you fall on the gender spectrum.
So, let’s talk about it!
Do you have a particular term or label that resonates with you – such as crossdresser, transgender woman, non-binary person, or something else?
I’m eager to hear your thoughts, so let’s continue the conversation in the comments below!
Love,

I find the term ‘Transvestite’ cold and clinical. ‘Crossdresser’ is cool but I refer to myself as ‘Transgendered’.

I think labels can help give many people some kind of context within which to begin to communicate. Fortunately here in Australia i don’t think we’re as hung up about PC terminology as folk in the US. The term ‘tranny’ here is a convient cover all and it is the one i mostly use to describe myself. I could say , ‘ i was born a boy but have always wanted to be a girl’ … or that i’m a ‘pre-op MtF transexual’, or a ‘T-girl’, or a ‘gurl’. But I find ‘tranny’so much easier. XXX, Nikki
I am who I am and a label can’t quite describe me. However, when I have been in public and will interact with someone who will definately realize that I am male dressed as a female, I will let them know that I am “transgendered”, whatever that means. I do this to disarm them and to let them say they are uncomfortable before we get any further. I did this last fall when I went to get my male hair cut but was in a skirt and a wig. I said I needed a hair cut but not the hair they saw at the time. I then said that I was transgendered and that I needed my male hair cut. BTW, I ended up paying for a woman’s cut.

Well, I took the COGIATI and it listed me as an Androgyne, and I would tend to agree with it. That our male to female crossdresser.
I’m a cross breed from another planet; we all look this way. Seriously, whats wrong with exploring your feminine side. I want to learn more about how a woman feels, wears and thinks.
That is almost the same type of bra I wear under my male work clothes.
I’m definitely one of the girls
I am working on becoming transsexual, but I am currently calling myself Male to Female transgendered. I hate being labeled.
Thank you for asking.
Love Always
