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,
Lucille

I wish people would understand that I am more comfortable when I have the outward appearance of who I am on the inside. I am not a pervert or sexual predator, I am only a female that was built like a male. I love me and I wish you did too. I have been this way for 73 years and you have loved me as I appeared without really knowing who I am. Let me be me and I will continue to let you be you.
I wish people would know that I would change if I could. That I would do whatever to appease their idea of normal and never make them uncomfortable. But dressing feels right and, try as I may, can not be denied. Only hidden and reserved for when I am all alone, so that I don’t have to explain myself when I can not explain it to myself. So no one has to ask the shameful questions that I have no answers for. And especially, I wish dressing wouldn’t define me in others eyes so profoundly that all other characteristics, good or bad, no longer exist and fundamentally I have become someone they have never met. As if I am a total stranger and I disgust you.
But wishing is worth about as much as it weighs,
nothing.
I really don’t think I would have to much to say regarding my journey, I mean its not that different to the journey that so many others have and will continue to travel , yes it is confusing at times and at other times bkoody confusing, and in this day and age I’m guessing that most would know about the ones who stumbled along the road and never made it , so many different things to deal with and all at the same time that your trying to deal with the whole gender bit,
But I would tell them one thing, I would tell them that if I cold go back I wouldn’t change a thing about my life, its had twists and turns in it here there and everywhere, going all the way back to about the age 6, looking back that’s the first little thing that popped up , one of the things that was shaping my future, so easy to see little things when u look back, be nice to go back and give oneself a little advice ( :
Lifes a journey and were all on one, ups and downs are all part of being on this little merry go round called life, have had some amazing times and some moments that will never be forgotten, involved in some lifstyles that propbally wouldn’t be part of me without all the other bits thrown in as well, was only just complaining about the ALT site last night, all these men I clicked on were straight, was becoming a pain in the ass ( : all the things that ppl miss out on in life when your born one way and not another, and with that comment, just how far I have come over the last few years, it being just normal now to openly say I’m Bisexual,,,,well thinking probs more gay than bi.
So yeah, can be told I want be swapping a bloody thing in my life, even if I could, its been and continues to be an adventure all the way ( :

I Wish people knew when they look at us as a freak person how heartbreaking it is. I wish they could feel our lonliness as we do……..
to be accepted,as a person, I just wish people would realise that I’m just the same as everyone else,I’ve recently told my parents and some close friends that I want to change my gender,my friends were quite good,but don’t understand me,my parents,well my father doesn’t believe me,my mother is okay with it,but I don’t think any of them will accept me as a woman,it’s annoying that people don’t or won’t just give you the respect that they should,I’ve recently seen my doctor,he was very good,I’ve got a apointment next week,where they will assess me,hope it goes well,can’t be a man anymore,want to be the woman i always should of been since I was very young,just hope someone will accept that,
That`s the same way with me to, my Mother knows that I am a cross dresser and my Father knows too but they think it`s just a fad and they believe that it will just go away, but it has not gone away since I moved out of my parents house, I have been going to see therapist and also going A new Doctor to see about going on Female Hormoanes therapy and start going as a women for the rest of my life!
I am a married male who enjoys wearing women’s clothing, a cross dresser. I have no desire to transition. I just want to dress in nice clothing and wear nice under things. But, a guy dressing in women’s clothing is called names that are not very polite. Many people will look oddly at you and sometimes make snide comments. I would love to be able to go out wearing a dress or some sort of women’s outfit that does not pass as male clothing. I want to dress, publicly, in clothing that is obviously women’s and to be able to try nice things on in the store, just like everybody else.
I would like for everyone to understand that I “pretended” to be MALE because that is what was expected, but now that I am my real self ( FEMALE ) , to the question : “Are you a woman now ??, my answer is : ” I always , since a child, was I a female, just now I don’t “pretend” any more.
I wear clothes. My wardrobe contains trousers & skirts. For those born female, that is totally normal in present day society, but if born male, is seen as abnormal. Why is unisex always masculine based & available to both genders? Why is anything feminine restricted to one gender? I can wear female unisex garments as a male, such as jeans & sweater, & not draw attention to myself. Yet the visibility of any one wearing a skirt or dress is now a rarity. Thus, I play the game with society, they expect the individual wearing a skirt or dress to be female, I present as female.
