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)
Very good points all around! I’m pretty comfortable with where I’m at but it’s always good to read someone summarize it as well as you did.
