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,

Well until I was 70 I wore my clothes make up around the house.
Then I thought…why.so I use a wash ib wash out strawberry blonde on my normal hair, shape my eyebrows nice and thin and wear a thinned down pink nail varnish or a clear one .
I wouldn’t wear mens clothes if i did not have to….to keep the peace…but wear knickers and pads every day.
So much nicer sittibg down in the loos!!

I would like people to get past the social expectations of how people should present themselves. I don’t care how anyone dresses or if they go au natural, it shouldn’t matter. I don’t want anyone to feel uncomfortable because of my presence and I don’t want someone to be forced or coerced into accepting me by being bullied through the media extorting a way of creating future stories. I just want people to enjoy what everyone brings to the table. differences are what makes all things in life beautiful can you imagine if there were only one mountain view or if all streams looked exactly alike? let us all be different and appreciate the changing scenery.
Hello Hello,
I guess I just want people to understand I am a being who just wants to be treated with some understanding and kindness. As for labels I’m not really sure even after 25 years, and I don’t care to place one on myself. Im a gay man who presents femininely. I am myself.
I had a 50 percent chance of being born in a female body, the ball just fell in the wrong place, I am a transgender woman, I accept what I am but I did not come into the world to get in the way or bother, I just want to live my life as desire.
I am gender non-conforming. I like both feminine things and ways and masculine things and ways. I don’t think choosing one or the other is needful. In the past, adhering to one or the other was sometimes restrictive and distressful.
Morgan you just perfectly described what I feel about being trans and most importantly the things that are being portrayed as trans that in fact are not any part of our lifestyle or how we define ourselves. I can’t speak for others but I agree with your statement 100%
Thank you !
Many people in our society live their lives believing stereotypes, opinions and assumptions. They categorize and judge other people by their appearance. I am not trying to infiltrate women’s bathrooms or locker rooms. I’m not interested In competing in women’s sports. I don’t participate in drag or read stories to children in libraries. I’m not recruiting anyone into any lifestyle. I am not a sexual predator. Nor do I know anyone that participates in these activities. Anyone who thinks that this is the transgender lifestyle is greatly misinformed. I’m not saying that there aren’t transpeople who engage in this kind of behavior. I’m saying that this behavior is not the lifestyle. Not every transperson is flamboyant or wanting srs or against God or vote democrat. That’s what I would want people to know.
I’m a man dressing in clothing associated with women. I am straight and still want to remain male even in fem clothing. Yet, those that know I dress can’t wrap their minds fully around it. Making it harder for them is sometimes I dress and go out and about with out wigs or makeup.
I wish that people understood that
– I’m not a freak or a sexual deviant;
– I simply think that the female form is so beautiful that I enjoy creating it on myself (using shapewear) and dressing it;
– well-put-together women inspire me; and
– I dream of participating in a girls’ night and being accepted as one of them.
Thank you Juliana to create this site. Cross dressing is ultimate high . It is a different world.
bonjour
plus de respect envers se que nous somme, je suis travesti et j’aime être une femme, même si je le vie chez moi.je suis dans un quartier qui craint je n’ose pas sortir , quand j’habitait a lyon qui est une grande ville je sortait le soir et me fondait dans la masse de gens . mais dans la petite ville ou je reste non , et c’est pas l’envie qui me manque .
Je suis d’accord, Iysa. Je vis dans une petite ville et je m’habille en femme uniquement lorsque je me rends dans une grande ville voisine pour rendre visite à ma fille. Bonne chance, Nikki.
