View submission: Do non-binary identities reenforce gender stereotypes?
Nothing about me feels woman either. I have no woman feeling. I just know that this is the body I was born in.

I don't even know what feeling like a man/woman would feel like. I don't *feel* like I've got brown hair and I certainly couldn't imagine a conflicting inner sense of feeling I have blonde hair.
But then perhaps it's similar to my struggle to understand aphantasia. I can't imagine not being able to visualise an apple. Maybe I have a similar kind of "identity blindness".

i would argue that cisgender people often proclaim they feel this way explicitly because they've never had to interrogate their comfort with themselves the way trans people have. i highly doubt, if you woke up in a man's body tomorrow morning, that you would feel no different about it than you do about your current form.
