Do you feel like you don’t fit into traditional gender norms?
Whether you’re a crossdresser, a transgender woman, or someone who embraces a different gender identity, one thing is clear: society still has a lot to learn about gender non-conforming people.
Do you agree? If so, let’s talk about it!
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,
Lucille
The only thing I wish people would understand about me is that I’m not trans-anything. True, I was born a male, but in reality I’m female, and have always been female.
I wish people knew I was still the same person even tho I’m becoming a women. Yes I look different and and dress different. But in still the same caring person
Dear Lucille,
First of all, I would like people know about me, that I want to be what I feel myself to be, not what they used to see me as or prefer me to be or to do
Hi Lucille,
I’m a crossdresser. I am a male but enjoy dressing as a woman, and occasionally doing something like going to a shopping mall dressed as a woman. I love the feeling of being feminine, wearing lingerie, skirts, dresses, high heels, makeup, perfume. Not all the time. Just on occasions when I want to.
But I also love women. I am not gay.
That is the heart of what I wish people could understand. Women can wear men’s clothing, appear in public, even looking very masculine, and be considered “fashionable”. If a man does the same thing, its a cause to alert the police, his family and his employer.
I don’t mean to complain. I can accept life for what it is. But sometimes I wish people would think about their position on such topics and understand that there is no fundamental difference here in reality, but very much in attitude and reaction. (in my opinion)
To be accepted.
I WISH PEOPLE COULD UNDERSTAND THAT THIS WHOLE ISSUE IS NOT SOMETHING THAT I DREAMED UP BECAUSE IT MIGHT BE ‘COOL’. THIS IS WHO I AM. IT COMES FROM DEEP DOWN INSIDE ME, RIGHT FROM MY VERY CORE. JUST LET ME BE WHO I AM WITHOUT CRITICIZING ME OR CONDEMMING ME. MY GOD MADE ME THE WAY I AM AND HE DOES NOT MAKE MISTAKES.
I wish people new I am not gay.
I wish more people understood that my trans-ness is not something that im missing its something extra that ive been blessed with! Also i wish people would stop fixating on boob size lol
