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 Outdated or offensive terms can hurt, so it’s okay to set boundaries about how others address you.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,

I label myself as transgender. I have always see myself as a woman
I see myself as a lesbian transgendered. I’m not sure how far I’m going on this pathway. Right now I want to go as close as I can to be a woman without medical intervention. After 2 years of cancer and doctors, I’m just not up to having more doctors in my life right now.
I label myself as a bisexual closet crossdresser. I have been bi since I was 18 & wearing feminine articles just felt so natural when I was with a guy…..
Dear Lorella, I´ve read about label identificate, and I think no one es correct, because a new name is putting some people in second gender
Everybody is a person, a human person, and so it´s no more than anybody.
When a diferent name is used for a group it can used for send outside, and it´s very probable to see it as a trouble.
Each other has a diference personality, but it´s result from sense and sensibility to see and do in diferent life moments.
People have X % from male and female, and behaviour is depending from it, and social group arround.
If in a coke bottle put red vine What is this Coke or vine? It is same for person who have diferent aparience from personality and behaviour.
Usually labels are uncorrect because it don´t express one reality.
I think correct name is like lifestyle moment.

Labels do suck…but I don’t mind. It is what it is. I think they give people an idea of what level of transition your on…
I live as woman in every way, except work. I haven’t taken that leap yet. I’m not a genetic woman, and that’s ok. I like the term translady, but I don’t mind tranny, it is what it is….
HI all
I tend to use two labels tgirl & transwoman but at the moment I am living 24/7 in female clothes & the lifestyle but I do want to change sex have been told I have to take steps before that will happen by the Charing Cross GIC.

Hobbyist, would you take that? I do it for fun in my own room for selfies and to see how far can my look be passable. And more importantly I adore female styles and when I see females fashion magz I don’t get attracted as much as I feel like I wanna buy these for me.
That’s exactly what I do if I see anything girly I like from dresses to lingerie I don’t get attracted to the model I just try to add it to my “Chick” wardrobe and I have to say it’s Really expensive.
I would rather NOT be labled to me its sexest and as for sincere questions I try to educate them and for sarcastic people I say who are you to judge, go look your answer up on the internet.
