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 Outdated or offensive terms can hurt, so it’s okay to set boundaries about how others address you.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

Peace and love from Frida formerly known as Fredrik
What am I? This has been asked many times. Here you go:
I am a parent of three and a grandparent of six.
I am a US Army Disabled Viet Nam Veteran.
I am a Happily Retired Senior Citizen.
I am a gun owner, a supporter of, and a believer in, the Second Amendment, and a damn good shot.
I am a former Insurance Agent.
I have owned four Thunderbirds in a row, and still have two.
I am a friend, a buddy, a pal, a confidante.
I am your neighbor.
The clothes and accessories I wear do not define who I am. They are merely coverings one must wear in public.
I. Am. Me.
I. Am. Gerri.
I am an every so often crossdresser but I do feel a terrific feminine fulfillment and delight when I do cross dress. It’s nice to visit over the rainbow but I still need to click my heels together and go home. I have also been noticing a new term (do we really need another?) that I might be able to identify with – gender fluid.
I agree with Amy, I don’t care much for labels. I am just Dianne. I dress all the time. I am now working at going back to work as a woman and Ii am finding a lot of people this makes uncomfortable and oh well, We are who we are.
T-girl or transgender person . Because I felt like a little girl went play with my dolls some days or I be like a transgender woman went go out on a date and have a good time some days
Like other girls who have responded, I don’t like labels at all. I am the most feminine and prettiest out of four girls in my family and for today, let that be that.
Beautiful!!!!!
For various reasons I will probably never pursue it but inside, in my heart, I am a woman. So for the worlds purposes I suppose Transgender Woman would be the most appropriate.
i am a sissy. It is what it is
