I think there are a lot of AFAB people who genuinely aren't women - and a lot of AMAB people who genuinely aren't men - but they just go with those labels because we equate man with male and woman with female.

"No woman feels like a woman!" - But they do. A lot of women feel like women. Both cis women and trans women can feel like women. If you don't feel like a woman but still identify as female that's a valid identity

That's MY identity!!! I'm not a woman, but I'm definitely female! And I'm on HRT and I like presenting as masc, etc etc. For me, that means the trans experience is closer to how I feel about myself than the cis experience.

I really think we need to talk more about folks who feel "I am the sex I was assigned at birth but not the gender I was assigned at birth, BUT I'm also not trans, I'm a 3rd, neutral thing".
