Hi Sweeties,
I am a feminine male that wears women's earrings, fire engine red toenail polish, women's sandals, a feminine hairstyle, pantyhose, a women skirt, while not attempting to pass as a woman. Therefore I consider myself a "Sissy" or a "Nancy Boy" and am proud to be a Sissy. When anyone sees me they immediately know that I am a Sissy. How many of you girls identify as a Sissy or a Nancy Boy? After all, a "Sissy" or "Nancy Boy" is the opposite of a "Tom Boy".

I am me and don't put labels on myself or anyone else.
I have moved on from trying to shock people or prove I am different.
You have every right to do as you wish and enjoy who you are.
As far as sissy or Nancy boy I found those terms degrading when I first started dressing.
I have been living as a female 24/7 for so long I am just me and have no need for labels.

What TAG said. I really don't know what those terms mean, and if I accept any labels it would be a heterosexual male who likes to crossdress. I wouldn't like any new labels for me at this time.
No labels for me thank you. I reject societies attempt to define me, or any of us, so narrowly.

"U can call me Ray, or u can call me Jay, or u can call me RayJay. But, u doesn't has ta call me Mr. Johnson!"
I'm actually confused now? Do u mean u would prefer we call u Nancy, Sissy, or Jamie?
U can't keep doing the same things over and over and expect to enjoy life to the max. When u try new things, even if they r out of your comfort zone, u may experience new excitement and growth that u never expected.
Challenge yourself and pursue your passions! When your life clock runs out, you'll have few or NO REGRETS!
I think I get the thrust of your question. In drab, I'm neither a sissy nor a Nancy boy, but quite male and I doubt anyone would question it. I doubt there's anything feminine about me. When I'm prettied up, though, I hope that there is little trace of masculinity about me -- no "Tom Boy."

When I dress, which I have not done completely in years, I am not sure if I would have considered myself a sissy. Maybe? However, when I was not fully dressed and wearing a mix of both men's and women's apparel I would have considered myself a sissy. I don't mind labels if I think they are appropriate to me.
When in drab as I am mostly these days definitely not a sissy by most people's standards I would guess.
Just another man in a dress
I identify as a crossdresser, thank you.
When haters hate, I celebrate!
Nancy boy must be a British term, not familiar with the term or what it implies.
As for the sissy term not sure i like that. Maybe i am wrong by sissy and sissification implies a subservient or bottom type term . CD is fine for me
I am a sissy to some people. I am transgender to some people. I am gay to some people. I am queer to some people. People can label me anyway they want and thats okay with me and they have a right to their opinion. I feel I am gender fluid and I have a need to dress and be feminine sometimes.
No way! I'm strictly a He-Man crossdresser.
I am just a regular guy who likes exposing his feminine side from time to time for sexual and therapeutic reasons by wearing nylons, pantyhose, tights and stockings and fishnets and sometimes full make up and feminine clothes as I prefer the style of womens clothes over mens clothes.

Sheer black nylons and fishnets are my passion.

Your question in my opinion is dialing down crossdressing into the fetish side and or orientation. Some will say derogatory or to some, a turn on. I care less about the terms except if someone was to address me.
Escapism isn't necessarily bad, but is definitely unhealthy in the long term. While helpful in the short term, things will degrade over time. At some point, the escapee will have to face the issue. Things simply blowing over isn't really going to happen in many situations.
I think the term "sissy boy" is mostly used in the porn industry, not in real life. But, you are free to think of yourself as anything you want to.
Me, I am a crossdresser.

Labels can be a trap. I suggest not using them. Everyone is unique in terms of gender identity even though most people are either male or female in terms of sex. The two, gender and sex, don't really talk to each other very much when it comes to internal functioning. Sex is mostly about reproduction; gender is mostly about your social role. There are a few linkages but those are mostly based on stereotypes we carry. Those stereotypes can be useful, but they are mostly limiting.
The problem with labels is that a label establishes a boundary where no boundary really exists. It leads to stereotyping which is not good for anyone as it pigeonholes people into unnatural categories and leads to conflicts when a person finds themselves in a category that doesn't fit well. And it can lead to prejudice and discrimination.
So, I avoid labels like the plague. As I said we are all unique and effectively a Majority of One. I am male in terms of sex but in terms of gender I have a lot of female-like behavior and thinking traits mixed in with male-like traits. Male-like and female-like refers to traits that are usually seen most strongly in people of the associated sex. However, the particular blend you have at any point in time is almost always a mixture of traits from each realm that your brain has found work together nicely and smoothly FOR YOU. However, that blend is not cast in bronze - it is more like jelly and is always shifting around as you experience new things.

I decided to ask Mr. Google what other people think "sissy" means.
I got this from Wikipedia
Sissy (derived from sister), also sissy baby, sissy boy, sissy man, sissy pants, etc., is a pejorative term for a boy or man who does not demonstrate masculine traits, and shows possible signs of fragility. Generally, sissy implies a lack of courage, strength, athleticism, coordination, testosterone, male libido, and stoicism, all of which have typically been associated with masculinity and considered important to the male role in Western society. A man might also be considered a sissy for being interested in typically feminine hobbies or employment (e.g., being fond of fashion), displaying effeminate behavior (e.g., using hair products, hydrating products, or displaying limp wrists), being unathletic or being homosexual.
It's actually an interesting read, and you may want to follow the link to read about other uses of the word sissy. I like the insinuation of how American football coached and gang leaders used in to encourage more ferocious and violent behavior.
As a child and teen, being called sissy" would have been "fightin' words". I consider the word a slur and consider it particularly offensive. It is really opposite to whow I see myself. Even though I like some feminine things, I don't consider my behavior effeminate. When dressed as a girl, I consider myself as a strong or dominant girl. For example, I will always give a strong (male) hand shake, even in girl mode.
Hi, I'm Steffi and I'm a crossdresser... And I accept and celebrate both sides of me. Or, maybe I'm gender fluid.
To me personally sissy is a hurtful term. I was a weak and sickly child back in those days. When I heard that word it was either my uncles criticizing me or the playground kids preparing to push me around. I am no longer sickly and for me I prefer to leave that word in the past. . . .vale
I had to read through the other comments to understand the meaning of "Nancy Boy." I never heard the term before. I have always posted on this forum one should explain in complete sentences and paragraphs. One word does not describe a complex issue. I am a straight cross dresser. In male mode it's definitely male; clothing and mannerisms. As a cross dresser it is definitely a mature woman; always attired in dresses, hosiery and heels and all the proper undergarments. At six foot and 195 pounds I do not pass. How others perceive me in their minds? I do not know. I am sure the uneducated and bigoted would define me with derogatory names.
Jamie is fine, however I do not mind being called being called a "Sissy" because I am a sissy. Sissy is simply the opposite of "Tom Boy". I always really liked the name "Sissy Spacek". It is so wonderfully feminine. My real name is Jamie, so I will stay with it, however if I were to choose I would pick "Sissy" or "Nancy".Originally Posted by docrobbysherry

It's not complimentary and a bit degrading .....so no I dont relate or care for the terminology ...............Debra
You addressed your question to "you girls" so you really weren't talking to me, but I'll answer anyway.
In my mind and according to how the word was used when I was a child, a "sissy" is a wimp, or as "weak as a girl." I am not a wimp, and I know girls/women who are quite physically strong. If I'm dressed in male clothes I'm a construction worker, a business owner, a pilot, and a strong advocate of other (historically) masculine activities that aren't allowed to be discussed here. If I'm wearing a skirt and cami, I'm still the same person, just in prettier and more comfortable clothes.
I've never heard the term "Nancy boy," but from context I'd have to say no to that as well.
I'm constantly amazed how many on here are stuck on labels.
I think both terms are degrading. Sissy, Nancy Boy, Tomboy. Please. Enough with the outdated stereotypical descriptions.
I am happy to say I am a crossdresser and leave it at that.
It's never too late to enjoy a happy childhood.
Live each day as though it's your last 'cause one day you'll be right.
I'm finding the more feminine side of me...and I ❤️ this adventure.
Not at all. And I think the majority of sisters are not either.

I have to agree with both Patience and Heather76, I am simply a crossdresser, nothing more, nothing less.
