How many women (or men) identify as cisgender?

Nope!

Body dysmorphia would still exist.. focus on hated of your body

Likely to affect teenagers coping with body changes

Probably affects a tiny number of children from birth... my mam taught primary for over 40 years and only ever came across one child who got confused about what sex they were

Nope. All man...no cis involved......

work in a very supine sector - dreading the exhortation to use pronouns. That is a small, unregarded mound I will argue on endlessly until I am left alone.

If a woman's body has nothing to do with whether she is a woman or not and gender is generally regarded as an artificial societal construct, then the urge to live as the opposite sex to the one you were born with is invalid surely?

Nope. I do not consent to being categorised as a subset of my own sex. I'm not a type of woman. I AM a woman.

Lol as if anyone on this board is going to say "oh yes, me, I describe myself as cis"

And yet, posters have come and said it. There are many who do agree and who regularly post that they do.

However, does it surprise you to see that there are so many who reject the term and reject the reason for its use? have you been led to believe that it is only a few women who disagree?

To identify as 'cis' you'd have to think that what makes a woman is not the body, but some other 'inner quality'; but in contradiction to that and at the same time, you'd also have to hold to a more reality based definition of sex in the first place to 'identify as' a woman at all.

'Identifying as' a woman therefore implies feeling you conform to gendered expectations of what a woman was is supposed to think, feel and behave like, but that your body has got nothing to do with anything.

I am a biological female. I am a woman; an adult human female. I will never accept (or tick) the cisgender option.

I wonder, apropos of nothing, what the relative numbers are of 'people who identify as cisgender' versus 'people who like taking a pop at feminists'.

Lol as if anyone on this board is going to say "oh yes, me, I describe myself as cis"

Yeah, that’s not being ‘agender’ - that’s just being a normal person, like all the rest of us barring the most ridiculous caricatures, who is who he or she is and doesn’t actually fit in a box called ‘masculine traits’ or ‘feminine traits.’

I am agender, meaning I identify with masculine and feminine stereotypes

Aren't we all, though? Who conforms to every gendered expectation of their sex?

Umm I guess I do in the sense that I identify as the sex/gender I was born with. But I wouldn't use the term

Of course sex and gender are not the exact same thing.

Can i ask you In what ways would you say you 'identify as' your sex?

And in what ways do you' identify as' your gender? ( I'm assuming that you mean female?)

What, in your mind, would you say is the difference between simply 'being' and 'identifying as' a woman.

I think using the word cis is very offensive.

Here is someone explaining much better than I could some reasons why people object to using or being described as "cis" - it ultimately leads to sex-based rights being un-enforceable (and perhaps that's the point of it).

In addition, if "all" cis means is identifying with the gender (i.e. stereotypes) that are traditionally imposed on your sex, then it's still a no from me.

You're asking if I identify into my own oppression, as if I could choose otherwise? Or maybe I'm just naturally predisposed to being oppressed? How many women identify with gender stereotypes really?

It's a meaningless term designed to make women feel they have a duty to "be kind" and cede space/ rights/ autonomy to those special few who boldly "break out" of the gender system, never mind the fact they do so by forcing everyone else to sit in a box that says "I'm okay with being oppressed".

I'm a woman and don't have a gender identity. I'm not and never have been 'cis'.

I think we can make analogies with theism.
Many people nowadays are atheists - consciously rejecting the idea of god. They know that others are theists of various types and will often debate the subject. Some are antitheists who see belief in god(s) as actively harmful.

But most are apatheists - they just don't give a shit about it.

I'd suggest many MN feminists are akin to the first group (agender or anti-genderists), but the general population is more the second - completely apathetic about the concept of 'gender identity'.

I don’t identify as cisgender.

I am female, and I conform to some gender stereotypes, but not all of them.

I have no idea when someone is what gender. As far as I can tell, you can claim whatever you want. So I claim agender. On the plus side then people can't start dismissing me as a cis woman, they have to take me seriously as otherwise their own claims fall apart. It stops them using cis as 'sit down and shut up'

I don't "identify" as anything, I just am. That's how I feel anyway.

I reject the concept of gender. To me, gender is the way to put people into boxes and then keep them there. I admit to not being well versed in this so i'm not wording it well but, again this is just how I feel, i'm a woman because I am an adult female. I like pink and glitter because that's my personality. I also like climbing and football because that's my personality.

Probably makes no sense!

CIS to me is an unnecessary addition to the word woman. Woman is enough, thanks.

I do have one friend who used cis terminology on a FB post and wasn't particularly surprised but she is quite out there in terms of the people I know. On the other hand, I wrote a very stern letter to the BBC about the use of cis-women on Front Row noting that cis was superfluous and that we are women, pure and simple.

I am agender, meaning I identify with masculine and feminine stereotypes. This makes me non cis and as cis&trans is binary, if I am not cis, I have to be transgender. So I am a transgender woman (woman as in sex class) but not a transwoman as I am not male and also not a transman as I don't identify as a man.

But say online I am a transgender woman but not a transwoman I get flamed and accussed of appropriating transwomens struggles.
You really could not make this up....

No. I don't identify as a cis woman. Especially if cis is meant to imply privilege.
