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 Outdated or offensive terms can be hurtful.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,

Hi all
My main beef with labels is that they never fit. Now most of the time i would be considered a crossdresser; however, I don’t like that title. I am a male who likes to wear soft clothes and also likes the different styles that ladies clothes have to offer. The main problem with this is my family and where I live. So I dress as I can and I finally one day after work wore my 2″ mary jane style heels into a resturante. There wasn’t anybody there except the cook, the waitress and myself. Well after I had finished we were talking and I know the waitress looked at my feet. She didn’t anything. Since then I have wore my bright blue and white shape-ups to walmart. Well i can say that I am feeling better about going for a burger “dressed up”.

I don’t really label myself other than as one of the girls.
The only “label” that I really answer to is “Lorraine”.
I suppose that, in order to help educate others, I also accept “transsexual” or “trans-woman” but I refuse to be identified with any other label that would try and belittle who I am.
I would say for now i’am a crossdresser.
we all have lable, girl, teenager,mom,ladie,wife, boy,man, husband,, along with all the bad names I will not list,people hide behind drinking, drugs, candy, cars, houses,clothes, the way you look, if you over weight, bold, skinny, big butt,small boobs, fat tummy, big feet.
Its time to take control of your own life, people thought dont matter, you must please with youself the way you look, the car you drive and the clothes you wear,the way you think, no one thoughtrealy matter, do your changes, stand tall and walk in life like you belong there because you do.
we all hide behind walls,some bricks are light and other are heavy, some are so heavy you need help to remove them,but you are in control you can eather leave the wall up or start removing it brick by brick, by removing one brick and looking out to the world you will start to see a beautfull world full of blue sky, sunshine, and a light of awaking that you will feel through out you body, come on take a chance of a new life time I am there waiting for you. I have a coffee waiting for you,a good pair of ears and very open mind

Who wants labels. As each of us is different in their ways of expression and background and reason for being who they are why should we be placed in a box to conform to someone else’s ignorance or lack of understanding their own bodies. We all have both a masculine and a feminine side to our make up and the way we express both these sides is the way we live. I am me and nobody else’s name or size or shape and that suits me fine. Putting a stereotype name on me is harrassment and I don’t do that to others.
i consider myself female who needs alot of work to become more feminine
Hi,I’m 43 growing up was very confusing for me espeicially regarding my sexuality.In my teens and early 20@s I was a very femme gay guy- wore make up,long hair,nail varnish,ambiguous clothes.But I didn’t wear skirts or dresses.By my late 20’s early 30’s I had started to dress as a girl,by my late 30’s was dressing as a girl full time.Thats when I decided that I wanted to live as a girl full time.I have been on hormones now for 5 years,I’m proud of my 36c-26-34 figure.I have no plans for srs,as I’m very happy as I am.I dont know how to label myself,not that it matters to me.But I do know that I’m thinking of myself as a woman more and more.
