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 Outdated or offensive terms can hurt, so it’s okay to set boundaries about how others address you.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
The word “label” is just a word; I hate the word myself. I have always believed myself to be more feminine inside. I would consider myself transgendered.
I was confused earlier, but once i came out to my wife and with her help I am clear now
I am a crossdresser
I dont get classified in a labels and whats sure is I am a female on my inside and I know it! I don’t care which kind of lables I’m into. If someone need to press all our sisters in a lables so they should do but as result is we are what we are and nothing else.
I struggle with that same question everyday if I most use a label I like the human label the best
No real label befits but my preference would be Transgendered.
Nice face, lips and make up, Traci. Next, I will work on feminizing my face, too. Lucille has given me instructions from the Fab over 40 program. It has been interesting reading all the comments in this blog.
Lucille, I like to think of myself as a unique individual that has enjoyed the benefits of both worlds, both male and female. Nothing gives me more pleasure in life, when others call me Miss or a lady. At the same time, I can enter society as a male and attempt things that are seen as masculine, without worrying if I can achieve that goal. On the outside, I can project both worlds, but on the inside, I am a woman and proud of that. Just because the world puts labels on others, it is how we view ourselves that projects confidence, self esteem, and makes us unique to the world.
One of the nicest compliments I’ve gotten was that I was a gorgeous she-male. It’s a long story, but it was a spontaneous comment from a guy who just realized that I wasn’t what he first thought when he saw me. It made me feel good to be thought of as gorgeous, so I guess if I’ve got to have a label, that’s the one I want.
ive allways think of myself as female i have whats called klinefelters syndrome xxy cromazones geneticaly female but physicaly male unfortunatly ive wanted to get srs.surgery but dont have 38.000 00 thousand to do it so im out of luck.it ashame that a third world country like brazil gives thier transgender cittizens free sexchange surgery and the us hardly agnoages their excictance
