CIS

Because the feelings you have are innately you. But you can describe them as you have and cannot separate yourself from them. Therefore your feelings are part of you and those feelings are those of a woman by definition. You identify as being a woman.

How do you know that I feel the same as you though? I'm a mixture of likes/dislikes, thoughts and feelings which are probably unique to me. I love cheese and jam sandwiches, my DH hates them so is a love of cheese and jam sandwiches what makes me a woman? Or perhaps it's my love of football? DH and Ds hate football, DD and I love it so is that what makes us identify as female?
I identify as me not as a woman or as a human or as fan of cake. These are things I just am

You won't get the job with a cover letter like that I don't think. Did you do DoE award ?

It’s a good thing that I’m not applying for a job then, because being a woman isn’t a job, or a role to be played or a costume to be worn.

What does feeling like a woman mean?

I don’t feel like anything. I AM a woman. The same way a dog is a dog, because it is not because it feels, and a grasshopper is a grasshopper. The only factor which I “identify” with is my body.

How do men “feel like women” and how does that make them women?

And where do you eyes send signals via your optic nerve to ?

No, I don’t have feelings of being a woman. I KNOW I am because I have eyes and can see my body parts. Biology is where my knowledge I am a woman begins and ends.

Can you tell me what feeling like a woman is like please?

You do know what the feeling of being a woman is because that is the feeling you have. If you didn't know what the feeling of being a woman was you wouldn't be conscious.

I know how I feel, I don’t know that my feelings are representative or consistent with how other women feel. There’s no one “feeling of being a woman” consistent across the whole sex class.

I just attended awareness training at work and apparently using they/them instead of stated preferred pronouns is offensive too.

This was from a very obvious young woman pretending to be a man. The small group discussions were painful, mixture of full woke and completely oblivious, I seemed to be the only gender critical person there and tried to raise issues without getting fired.

I dread to think how much my work place is paying for this training. They have moved on from Stonewall to a private company which might be worse.

Being” something is quite literally a part of a person’s identity. It’s how you would describe yourself and how others would describe you. It’s quite sad to get so hung up on this. You’re a cisgender woman. Get over it.

I’m a woman, my biology makes me a woman. No need for any qualifier or further description.

You do know what the feeling of being a woman is because that is the feeling you have. If you didn't know what the feeling of being a woman was you wouldn't be conscious.

I don’t feel that I am a woman but I know in.i don’t know what “feeling” like a woman is.

If it’s apparent violence to enforce the “wrong” identity on trans people ain’t it violence to use “cis” for women who are just women?

YANBU, I hate this term. Just as I don't get to tell you what labels to call yourself, you don't get to tell me.

YANBU

Im no longing clarifying what I mean when I say “woman”. I mean woman. A trans woman is a man, I’ll refer to them as transwomen but we all know they’re men.

Oh that word can just fuck off!

cogito, ergo sum
Perhaps ponder this.

Ah, so you’re non-binary? Non-binary people don’t identify with gender.

Because if you’re calling yourself a woman that means you’re identifying with that word and therefore have a gender identity.

it’s a biological definition, babe, not a social one. It was a ruling on the definition of sex. And gender is social.

No. I just am human. How many of the things I am should i identify as?
Short? Fat? Brown eyed? Brown haired? Diabetic? Small footed?
Those things are all facts about me.

@Bogginsthe3rd it appears that you think that being something and identifying as something are the same. Maybe think about it a bit.

No. This is the falsehood that many people make.

There is no way to 'identify' being a woman, except to mature from being a female child. Being a woman means something different to all female people who have matured to reach womanhood. None of us 'identify' as one. We just are one.

There is a degree of twisting of concepts there in the statement that if you are a woman you also identify as one.

You don't identify as a human ? What do you identify as ? A spice rack ? You do know you can be something and also feel you are something as well ? You are denying consciousness itself.

You can think that all you like. Doesn't make it true.

I am a woman. I don't identify as one. I don't identify as being human either. Or short and fat. Or brunette. I just Am all of those things.

I totally, totally agree.

I think if you are a woman you also identify as being a woman. You don't identify as being a pot of hummus do you?
