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?

We all go through that stage. They are naive and foolish and they make the word bigot meaningless, they really do.

Do not use their dumb labels, do not sully your lips, its drivel. But do speak up for sanity and common sense. It's a minority view, this cis identity shit. The real world will not be taking this on anytime soon. You are quite clearly well and truly right.

Sorry to hear you're upset - the only thing to do is be a part of this community and nurture its growth. I think there is a sort of collective hallucination and fear going on whereby even people who sort of disagree with this lunacy have to meet TRAs halfway and pretend all's good and the world is a wonderful place where inclusion and equality seems to have a warped meaning.

I was talking to my husband today about what I read on the annexes buried on the Scottish GRA consultation text. About how the government is considering removing the words 'husband' and 'wife' so that non binary people are not excluded when entering a marriage. And there was also talk of non-binary people being considered a third sex.
My husband is a leftie, inclusive, against any form of prejudice - and even he was horrified.
So I think it is up to all of us to spread the information and put it out there. I used to be scared of sharing my opinion on this but I'll never accept this CIS bollocks.

Thank you all so much. I felt so alone.
