I keep batting this difference around in my head. I am someone who prefers to call themself “crossdresser” instead of “sissy”, though is also active in sissy communities. Why do I have that preference? I wrote up a few comparison bullet points below, let me know what you agree/disagree with. And feel free to mention other points ❤️‍

Crossdresser:

• A little old-school but gets the job done.
• More fluid in sexuality/gender identity
• Not inherently sexual
• Not particularly demeaning

Sissy:

• Feels newer/trendier
• A little more focused on sex with men
• Very sex-focused
• Often used as a demeaning word (consensually)
