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,

I agree. Some people still think there is some thing wrong when they know I am Transgender and transitioning. I just want to be accepted as a women. I always try and look good when I go out So they see that being being a Transgender woman is no different than any other women. Lisa
Just let me be who I want to be. Take me for who and what I am just like I do with everyone else.
Even now people are still afraid, negatively conscious, and aggressive toward all transgenders. What I wish everyone would know is concideration! There are too many incidents and psychological trauma involved on both sides on the coin of normal and trans and that is a huge problem. If everyone could just listen for 30 minutes or 10, they’d think twice before judging.
Even after 20+ years some don’t understand that my transition was NOT a choice. I do not have much problem blending in or “passing”. I did have significant problems living as the ‘other’. One of the things I wish people understood is that I am like every other person on this planet, all I really want is to live a normal life with my spouse, children and grandchildren.
I am not a danger to anyone (as long as they don’t attack my family).
I wish people understood that I’m not TRYING to be a woman, I AM a woman. I may not look it, but I am. I already am a woman. I’m not trying to become a woman, I’m trying to become myself.
“Am I male or am I female” this question has plagued many of us for years and it is just the luck of the draw if we turn out XX or XY. But to me it’s kind of silly for people to go crazy because I like to wear a garment that traditionally is only worn by those XX people. However, they are allowed to wear whatever they want no matter what it may be. By doing this are they any less a XX?. Simply put they are not. When I put on that blouse and skirt am I any less an XY? Not that I know of. So why is there such a fuss. When I’m all decked out I don’t want to go chasing XY’s I just feel comfortable and a bit at peace. Why is it when I present myself that way I’m such a threat. Seems to me they are the ones insecure in if they truly are XY or XX.
Bottom line to me wearing hose and heels should not make a difference to anyone and those that know they should have been XX’s should not feel the social sting trying to achieve that goal.
Clothing is clothing they can just get over it.
I just want people to stay out of my business. I don’t like it when someone tries to force their point of view on life on me and I will not force mine on anyone. I don’t need someone else’s acceptance to feel valuable, just need them to stay out of my way. I am happy the way I am, love the country I live in because I won’t be thrown from a roof because I’m fem. if someone thinks it’s strange that I dress the way I do, understand that I feel the same way about people who wear pajamas to the store, or to tight of clothes when they should’ve covered up a bit. But my opinion should not affect anyone else’s ego as much as their opinion doesn’t affect mine. I know I’m in a minority of less than 1% of the country so the way I dress may not be main stream but I don’t care because I care enough about myself not to worry about what they think. I will be who I am reguardless. Love you all
