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 Outdated or offensive terms can hurt, so it’s okay to set boundaries about how others address you.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
Personally, I use the label “twin-spirited”. I truly feel that I’m a combination of both genders in a single male package. Whichever one takes control depends on how I feel on any given day although I do wear panties 24/7, mostly female jeans and tanks, but also top them off with a black heavy-leather cowboy hat. Did I mention that I also possess a close-cut chin-beard and ‘stache. A real mixed up combination, but it feels right for me.
I believe it natural with each of us to to become a more specific label as we learn and grow.
The only word I use to describe my daily practice. I’m a Freak. It’s soo righteous. Love you all. Gen
I consider myself a transgenderist. I identify as both sexes though I do lean towards female.
i hate most of the lables that alot of people give me but the one i like the best is miss. or mrs. and also mam those i like the others i let go for their convience and dont bother correcting them. If they want to be ignorant about the subject then thier loss.

Hello everyone. Well if I just have to pick a label it would simply be a boy in a dress. Some ladies here might find that offensive but my reasoning is simple. I do not plan on making any alterations that would make me female or should I say as female as one could be made. And I am not out to fool anyone into thinking I am something I am not. Don’t get me wrong I want to be the best looking boy in a dress I can possibly be and have lots of fun doing it but as I said not really going to fool anyone into thinking I am something I am not.

Hi Karan
I also have very little desire to change what I am. Yes sometimes I wonder about SRS. But being married to a GG and the expense of it, well it’s just not going to happen.
So When I get to be Tina, I present myself as best as I can. I know up close anyone can tell what I am. So I just smile and go about my business.
I stay tucked, and wear panties 24/7 (except some Dr. appointments).
Anyway Karan you be who, and how you want to be. I believe it’s no ones business but your own.
Much love ❤

Hey! Me again, I don’t wanna step on anyone’s toes but, sometimes I just kinda get to thinkin’,shouldn’t we try to get past our “past”????
Hi Lucille!
..Hi all…
Transwhat? I live my ‘normal life’ as a man, yet at home with my wife I am a woman, with a penis,, most of the time.
“Crossdresser” does not fit as I am more than just a clothes wearer, “Trans” does not fit as I am not really transitioning (I yam what I yam). and any other ‘label’ really does not fit, “he/she” is SO derogatory..!!..
So.. I am ‘me’, whether society likes it or not.
38C/30/38 -not bad for a ‘guy’, Huh?!!
You GO girls!!!!!!!!!!
I was advised years ago not to Label myself but it’s hard not to when people ask who you are? My parents wanted a girl but got a boy. So they dressed me as a girl until they had to register me in kindergarten. Several years later my wife reminded me that she married a male. Now at 73 years of age I feel I’m just too old to change over to being a Lady.
I lost a good job when some lady found women’s clothes & a wig in my room. So now I wear makeup as a girl and dress as a male. But still wish I was a Lady.
Jo, as Lucille has got in another blog, you are too old. Even just try Lucille’s Herb programe, at your age have some final years of happiness. Good Luck.
I stand to correct my earlier entry, I’m sorry Jo.
You are not too old, just go for it.
I continue to apply feminine makeup like lipstick every day
unless the shade is not flattering to this day’s fashion. My wife’s Aide accepts me for who I am. I wear lingerie (not my wife’s but mine) and my other feminine clothing as season allows. Wish I were accepted as Jo instead of Joe. Wish I could
meet & date other folk like myself.
Sorry about the misprint Jo, you are NOT TOO OLD, go for it.
