To not really know what 'cis' means?

I mean, of course I've looked it up, and I nod along whenever anyone describes me as cis.

But I don't really know what it means. I am a woman. I experience the world as a woman. I look like a woman and I am happy to be described as a woman. I could not be described as a tomboy. I support women's rights and equality.

But I wouldn't say I 'identify' with the female gender. I find it quite constraining and oppressive. But I would say I am a woman. Am I cis? Am I not? I don't understand!

Italian, I feel a little invisible at times, but "discriminated against" would be pushing it

Beyond why invisible? Do you mean 'there is more of me than you can see.' Kind of invisible? Can I ask if you female with a make partner? If so, do you think you would feel the same with a female partner? You do not need to answer this!
