None just labels socity placed on us.
From my understanding and experience from long ago (pre 60’s to early 70’s), girls and people like us were ALL transvestites.
The normies wanted to define us, so they built a word from Latin, and the mental health people tried to make everyone think it was a mental illness that could be treated.
Time and resistance to that label slowly started a change in perception. That change is slow, like all natural evolution, and still a work in progress. It is getting better though, and most people have dropped the transvestite label from their vocabulary.

Hi Mia,
Transvestite comes from the Latin root of ‘Trans’… Across, Beyond, Through and ‘Vestite’ from
‘Vestimenta Sua’ meaning ‘Clothes’.‘Vestito’ is modern Latin, meaning dress so Transvestite just means ‘Trans Dresser’ or Crossdresser although as has been mentioned by some of the other ladies, the two words have picked up different conotations in recent history.
Hugs,
Aurora

Our group needs a new description beyond Transvestite and cross dresser. IMO, we are actually a third gender.
