Reply To: Do you have a preferred “label”?

Hi Gabby, I also identified as a crossdresser, and in some ways I still do, but I’m not crossdressing when en femme, I’m wearing the appropriate clothes for my gender expression. Identifying as transgender simply means that you do not identify with the gender you were assigned at birth, regardless of any question of transitioning. That’s a choice you can make as a transgender person, or not, but is not integral to the transgender identity so much as it can be integral to the individuals expression of that identity. You can be a transwoman and determine the extent of your own transition. You do you, girlfriend!
