Do you "feel like a woman"? What does that mean?

[Fingernailbiter]

I have always said I think it’s bollocks that everyone "knows instinctively" what gender they are, with no reference to learned stereotypes, so that a male could feel that his "authentic self" is female/a woman. I’ve always said I know I’m a woman because I’m an adult human female, but I just "feel like" a person.

But someone has said to me what about many women's instinctive longing for a baby of their own? I couldn't think of a good answer to that. I certainly longed for babies and felt very "maternal" when I had them. I know not all women feel that way, and I know some men really want children of their own, but there’s no denying that maternal urge. Could it be true that that (a hormonal thing?) counts as "feeling like a woman"?

Me too @Clarice99

We're both women 🥰🥰

Who cares? Men who claim they "feel like a woman" don't have female hormones anyway - until they start taking them artificially, and they do this AFTER they make their claims - because of it in fact. So it's definitely not hormones that make them say this whatever else it might be.

Also, not noticed a lot of them suddenly becoming broody after they start taking oestrogen either. Tbf though, a lot of them already have kids - that they FATHERED. hmmm
