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 Outdated or offensive terms can hurt, so it’s okay to set boundaries about how others address you.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 can relate to what pippa white writes. If being trans was like it is today I would have transisation back in 65 after graduation from HS.
Hi- Most cross dressers consider themselves hetero. And with that understanding it is simply the love of the feminine that brings on the desire to actually experience dressing, acting and even up to and including kissing (on occasion) others while dressed enfeme.
So, actually making it there dressed is an accomplishment. Would you not agree? If you have done all of your homework, practiced until you feel it flow and then exprience the kiss as a result. Is this not the essence of a flower?
Sometimes, the enthrall of the experience is accomplished without any additional stimulation needed. Catching a glimpse of your hair or waist in a certain dress or skirt by reflection while enjoying the simple things like perfume and lipstick, we’ll… need I go on. More importantly being aware that others are aware of this power enables me to understand the allurement that is mine. Am I a woman?
Let me know what you think Lucille.

I can very much relate to Pippa’s post as I am in the same position that in other circumstances I would now be a full time transgendered “girl”. But it ain’t gonna happen. I like making my own girly clothes and make some that are gender neutral and wear them whether I am dressed as a woman or man. It confuses some people but hey it makes life more interesting when both males and females do not know what I am doing and why or how to take it. To be open I guess I am part women but the line is blurred as I try to have more woman times than man times. Thanks for the forum Lucille.
I have to agree with the response from Pippa White. that pretty well sums it up for me too. If early life would have afforded me with different options I would probably be living as full time woman. But that’s not the way it turned out.
I perfer to descripe myself as a crossdresser and a transwoman if that makes sence. I feel like, know I am, a female and like to ware clothing designed to enhance the female body. I enjoy wareing female clothing but I present most of the time as male because of many issues and I underdress a lot when in male mode. If I describe myself it would be just being me. By the way I am 68.
transvestite, I,m a man when I need to be a girl when I want to be. why get bent out of shape over labels, everybody is something. I believe transvestite has a certain sexy ring to it and I like that, if people get all agitated and upset over what you are that’s their problem why get sucked in by them, when I,m dressed I,m happy I love that amazing feeling, high on being me. if people come to me in a friendly way and ask questions I will go to great lengths to explain and get them to understand I have made a few friends that way and strengthened our cause not that we need one. would it not be so much fun if we were accepted as a norm and we no longer created a stir I,m not sure I,m ready for that yet, people who cause us problems are just plain rude. oops there now ive given them a label xxxxxx
Honey, you are nicer to people than I am. I probably should be nicer, too but I don’t get into too many conversations with people because most can’t comprehend a woman with boy parts being a lesbian but that’s not a surprise because lesbians are unforgiving about it too.
I am a not pretty crossdresser.
You are beautiful!
Sugar, what makes you beautiful is how you feel being you. Isn’t it liberating being free? Doesn’t it make you feel so much happier? Happy people are beautiful people.
I have no real desire to become a woman, I love the clothes and the transformation so I class myself as a cross dresser.
