If I don't want to label myself as CIS, does that mean I deny transwomen their womanhood?

I thought I was a kind person. I know lots of people. I am really empathic and people come to me with their problems as I'm a good patient listener. I am trained in counselling skills. I worry about the world. I've had lots of jobs which are in care. I do consider myself to be a feminist.

Today I dared to say on someone's Facebook post that I don't like being labelled as a CIS woman. I just want to be a woman.
I was told that if I don't label myself as a Ciswoman I am denying transwomen their womanhood.

Is this true? I have to change the label I've lived with all my life. And this is more important than how I treat people? 3 letters?

No of course it isn't true. If TIMs feel like a woman in their head and to them this cannot be denied, and regardless of holding on to their tackle they still believe deep inside they are a woman no one could deny their womanhood. The only thing denying their womanhood is their biology and the problem is they know it too. So they blame women for not being called cis, for talking about their reproductive health, for saying women are oppressed precisely because of their biology and just for being different to them, for being women.

This progressive movement is the most regressive, homophobic, misogynistic piece of nonsense and people are just sucking it up.

I was told that if I don't label myself as a Ciswoman ...

When all men start labelling themselves CISmen, we might consider it.

I am denying transwomen their womanhood.

No. They are denying biology.

Given trans women aren’t women, and have no womanhood, I think you are good. You should reply why they are denying your womanhood by telling you any man who has the feelz is a woman just like you.
