Hi, Ms. Olivia! Thank you for this nice audio of yours!
I have applied the word "crossdresser" to myself, because before I came to terms with my feminine feelings and came out of the closet, that's how I thought of my secret feminine activities. Even after I started dressing en femme full-time, I have at times used this term for myself in describing myself to others. But then, if I wear feminine clothing all the time, what does it even mean for me to *cross-dress*? Perhaps wearing butch garments would be me crossdressing these days! Teehee.
I personally love the word "sissy", because that's etymologically actually a very peasant word. It's a cutesy form of "cupcake". But it's a word that has unfortunately been used to hurt many feminine boys like me growing up, so I understand why many feminine genetic males don't wish to have that label applied to them.
Even I am only comfortable with that word in a context where I know the person is accepting and I know that they are simply being a bit playful, and not actually intending to hurt. In other words, in a loving and understanding context. That would never be a good word to apply to someone unless one already knows that they are up for that.
The formal term for me, as relates to my gender presentation and feelings, is male-to-female transgender. In formal social contexts, that's the proper label for genetic males who present as feminine people, in regards to describing their genetic-male femininity.
Thanks again for your recording, Ms. Olivia!
