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 Outdated or offensive terms can be hurtful.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!

When I’m fortunate enough to be in my feminine persona, I like to think of myself as a “girl” or “woman.” If pressed for a more clinical descripton, I’ve always liked the following phrase: “Transgendered is what I am; crossdressing is what I do.”
Bingo! I kinda struggled to answer this question about 400 posts back….But that is exactly the way I would answer it now.
Hi there,
I consider myself a crossdresser and love to dress in the beautiful clothes.

I am a crossdresser.Feminisation secrects are very usefull
i am a cross dresser i wear my sis under garments n feel like a lady ,
My gender identity is intergender which fits under the umbrella term androgyne and the umbrella term genderqueer I wear female clothes full time but also have a full beard I am on hormones and hope to one day be seen as a “bearded lady” rather then “a man in a dress”. I know I’m different but I still fit under the transgender label. I don’t particully like the genderqueer label
I’m beyond labels. Just free to do whatever I want, whenever I want, wherever I want, with whomever I want.
I have always found labels to be interesting. People will tend to put a label on a person without ever getting to know them. We are all different, though we have similar likes and dislikes we are not all the same. Even how we view ourselves. But we do need to have the ability to refer to what some one might be going through, to establish a criteria that gives a system or diagnosis, so the medical field can help correct an intolerable situation. I have alway wondered why I was born a male, though I have had and raised a family I have never been particularly fond of my male body. I have known my whole life I was meant to be a women and everything is progressing nicely to correct that. It is fantastic to see how times have changed in dealing gender isues. In the end labels are important, but it is more important for you to be true to yourself. Be who you are, learn what you need to for society to except that person and enjoy your life. Surround yourself with good friends, life will take on whole new look. Hugs to All
I am a woman with a medical condition. transsexual, transgendered,these are names for a physical defect not terms I use to describe myself anymore then some one with cancer is a cancer girl
I can relate to Rachel, and I’ve had a lot of lesbian girlfriends even though I am male. My chest always has been built from a young age and now its attractive and I love walking around with a snug t shirt on..
I just love the reactions I get and the girls who want to check my breasts out. Of course then I get to check them out as well..
It’s way more fun than I ever imagined it would be..
