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 Outdated or offensive terms can be hurtful.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,
Lucille
Good question! Always relevant. My answer:
Usually I’m just a “Me.” Other times I’m a woman. Sometimes I’m a transsexual woman. Very rarely I’m someone with a bit of guy there. It seems to work somehow. Labels are inevitable. They are also convenientr, as long as they are not taken too seriously. Luv, Joan
My inner child has always been a girl. For to many decades I tried to deny that she is who I am. Now tired of hiding I am stepping out to be the girl who I always wanted to be. I am at the beginning of my journey, smooth and feeling fem 24/7. In my situation I would have to label myself as FREEMALE on the way to female. Thanks Lucille
I don’t feel I’m a girl nor do I want to be a girl. I just like to wear girls clothes due to fashion and I like the way it makes me feel inside and out. I feel pretty.

This is hard. I think I always was trangender. Several things conspired that caused me to live 99.9% of my life in male drag. One was the era I was born. Two was the culture I was raised. Three was the acceptance of trangendered woman. And fourth was my lack of courage. The era I was born was mid fifties and I think the first transsexual was in the mid sixties.(Cristine Jorgunson sp?) I felt a secret thrill when I heard about it (I was 8-10) But the feed back I saw around me caused me to keep my head down. I was brought up on military bases aroundd the country and the culture was definitly Macho Military. I remember as a <8yo on summer evenings I was sent out in the base housing streets to fight while the fathers sat on the front steps to watch and comment. and qlosing was bad but quiting was a belting.(good ol blackjack). As for acceptance ask Christine ( I think she is still around) Oh Christine if you see this Thank You for Your courage. Now for the label I consider myself as a Cd trying to transition and get as far along as i can in that transition. I would like to get as far as living as a woman.
