Are you someone who doesn’t fit traditional gender norms?
Whether you’re a crossdresser, transgender woman, or embrace a different gender identity, it’s clear that society still has a lot to learn about gender non-conforming people.
Do you agree?
If so, let’s shed some light!
What do you wish people understood about you?
Whether it’s the people closest to you or the world at large, what message would you like to share?
The more voices and perspectives out there, the more others will hopefully begin to understand.
I’d love to hear from you, so please share in the comments below!
Love,

I wish people knew about the level of commitment required to transition. It is not something done on a whim. It is a long life changing battle that no one can show you how to fight. Maybe if people understood just how difficult it can be then maybe it wouldn’t feel so much like a desperate battle.
As A Life Long Cross Dresser, I Spent Many Years “In The Closet,” Hiding My Most Enjoyable Transformation Activities From Everyone. Then When I Ventured “Out” In College And On Business Trips, I Still Enjoyed Discretion & Secrecy, And Always Strongly Insisted I Was A “Heterosexual Transvestite” To Men Who Tried To “Pick Me Up!”
Now That I Am Older, Braver & More Adventurous, I Discovered The Ultimate Feminine Joy Of Giving Men Pleasure And Will Always Do It When Dressed And The Opportunity Presents Itself. However, I Do NOT Understand Why Folks Now Want Me To Be “Vickie” All The Time & Live Openly As A Homosexual Cross Dresser! That Is NOT My Lifestyle.
I Do Not Fall In Love With Men, I Love Sexy Women, That Is Why I Love Being Part Of Their World. Being Submissive & Engaging In Sex With Men Is Just A Further Step In My Feminization! Sure We Both Experience Pleasure, But When It’s Over I Want To Get Out Of That Persona Just Like I Get Out Of My Wigs, Dresses, Heels, Makeup, Perfume & Jewelry, And Live As A Male Again.
So I Do Not Get Why Folks Like To Use The “Gay” Label So Much. I May Be Bi-Sexual In Activities, But The Feelings Of Romantic Excitement & Love Are Felt Toward Women Who Are Willing To Share My Innermost Feelings And Fantasies! I Am Sure Many Other “Shemales” Feel The Same Way, Even Though Everyone Is A Little Bit Different. I Prefer To Tolerate Diversity, Not Force Stereotype Labels On Others!
I truly wish for my friends and family to know me as me.I cannot purposely create so much pain in my world. Katlin has brought much attention, it’s also shown me how many people are so unaccepting of us.
I wish people would understand that its not about the clothes or makeup or standing out in a crowd as the center of attention. It’s about knowing who you are, putting on a face everyday and feeling good about being in the skin you’re in, and being who you are meant to be.
Why is it so hard for people to be respectful. If they see a transgender man or woman trying super hard to pass as the gender they prefer? why not call them Ms/Mr, Maam/Sir, or She/He or at least avoid using those words to describe them if they are not willing to be respectful and say Maam/Sir etc.
I wish that pepole would get over the why’s forth’s and just be happy that we are happy being who we are inside and out.I bein knowing that i was a woman sence i was five i want my whole family to get over the negativety about me wanting to be a woman.
If living as a woman were as simple as putting on a dress I would have been there long ago. It has been more than 50 years since I first felt I was born in the wrong body. My spirtit, soul and emotions are all feminine, even my mannerisms and reasoning are feminine. Only my body refuses to cooperate. Raised in small towns inthe south with no role models or mentors and only scorn for those that dared to be even a bit different….. “Don’t ever wear any of your sister’s things again, what is wrong with you?” Desires had to be suppressed, hidden and never revealed, guilt for being different that other boys. Now I can be feminine, now I am free to be the person I was meant to be, but really can I? Have things changed that much? No, not yet.
I wish that shoe manufacturers would understand that women with LARGE feet don’t necessarily want FUGLY shoes!
Amen, sister!
