I don't have a gender because I refuse to believe in gender woo. But I'm not gender non conforming. What am I?

Genderfree? I'm not agender or non binary as that implies believing in gender.

In times of old I would have described myself as a Woman, but as non biological women/ transwomen are now women I no longer want to use that word

Trans have spoilt the sex based meaning ot once had.

Just because a few people who work for the Cambridge dictionary have decided to put that in for whatever reason, it doesn't mean it reflects what most of us actual women think.

You could call yourself a penis free zone

Woman is a gendered term to AGPs. To everyone else it's just as it is...sex-based.

Woman is now a gendered term to most people. I'm not happy with that as I don't have a gender.

I think I just want to be a person

🙄

Ofc it's not.

But whatever you like yourself.

but if I identify as "gender free'

Why do you need to identify as anything?

If you are an adult human female, you are a woman. That has not, and will never, change.

It's a fact not an identity.

As to the use of words like 'transwoman' as long as it's used correctly, that's fine - once it's not TWAW.

I can't understand people tying themselves in linguistic & conceptual knots like this.

Yes, but if I identify as "gender free' it messes up the genderbollox as I'm technically both trans and GC which I find amusing. Plus I can be in the special club , for example refusing to state pronouns, whereas plain old woman gets you called bigot.

Also I AM gender free. I'm no longer willing to use the word woman until it means sex based again. Even the dictionaries have changed it.

Don't be silly. You are still a woman, and nobody has spoiled it. The meaning is the same as it always was.

You are still a woman, regardless of others appropriating the term.
You are an adult human female.
