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 Outdated or offensive terms can be hurtful.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!

I am 70 years old and live in a predominately male body without female attributes except for small breasts so cannot pass as female in public nor do I have access to finance to change my body status. At parties and social gathering I usually find myself orientating to women’s conversations as I feel more comfortable there than in men’s groups.
At home I feel more comfortable wearing a skirt and top or a dress and this just feels normal and yes sometimes I feel sexy, especially when wearing some new underwear or outer clothing, and would love to be able to go out in public.
Our sexuality changes to some degree throughout the day.
The only norm I know is abnormality.
I agree with a comment made earlier that you have clients which is the only relevant label.
I call myself gender fluid but I tend to be living full time as a woman these days and get a little irked at male pronouns anymore.
Through years of therapy and internal self exploration I am confident in referring to myself as a woman. However, since our society requires labels and boxes, I identify as a Trans Woman (interchangeable with transgender woman) or a T-Girl. Those are the labels I accept when referring to myself.
Hi,
I don’t like to be Labeled at all. I am Amy and that is how I want to be called. I hate Labels. Yes, I am transitioning to be a Female, but to me I am Female, I am Amy. I look more like a Quarterback in female clothes, as I still have not been able to afford hormones as of yet. I dress and live as Amy 24/7 and have for almost 3 years. Hopefully I will have my name change very soon.
GOD BLESS!!!
Amy
As right now I’m married I can dress only on days wife is at work. Because of that I call myself a crossdresser/beginner tgirl.
When I take on the personality of michelle I am sexy woman who is trying to cram as much girly experience in my time as humanly possible.
Hi Michelle I am in the same boat. Would luv to chat with you and anyone else who is in the same situatione
It is so hard to be slotted into one role or “label’ in todays world for girls like us. From the first time I looked at a playboy and wanted to be the girl in the photo I knew I was different, but being of a different era that went unspoken for decades. Similiar to one of your previous comments I too started out with a facination to cross dress. The first time I dressed I was hooked and knew it was so much more. Unfortuneatly I must morph between genders. I have been in therapy for some time and know in my heart that I was meant to be a woman and would have had I been born 20 yrs. later. So as to labeling….I find it benign. None of us fit into a slot, but at the same time I also find it a waste of energy worrying about it. I am a trans gendered person. Not a woman as I am inside and wish to be, not a man as I am outside.
I would say I started out as a mere cross dresser. Now that time goes on, I live a lot more as a woman. I would think of myself as a trans woman. However, Are labels really necessary?
I suppose I am just crossdresser or seemy self as just lover of beauty and soft man.
