Lately people have been telling me gender identity is a thing you feel - that you can 'feel like a woman', for example. But I legit don't understand what that means. Does feeling like a woman mean you want to wear women's clothes? Or have a vagina? Or get sexually pursued?

From what I understand, it doesn't matter how they think being a woman/man feels subjectively, but if they feel like they're the opposite of what they are physically it causes them to disassociate and depersonalize.

And "doesn't matter" as in how do you accurately describe internal states anyways.

When I imagine passing as a boy for a day, I don't feel bad at all (besides incidental issues from that). When people online in games mistake my handle for being a boy's handle, I don't care. Sometimes I like it. Why would you be uncomfortable living as a girl?

I'm MtF and I have no idea. I don't feel like a man or a woman or anything. I just feel like me. I don't have any kind of point pf reference on which to base a statement like that and I don't see how anyone else does either.

I do have some physical stuff that got improved by hormones and I feel more comfortable under certain kinds of social expectations. And I do experience something that seems it could be described as a proprioceptive mismatch. But like, it just seems odd to say one feels "like".

It's all in their head. Once you start questioning it, any logic falls apart and you realize it's basically just their own fantasy, which is fine, but it's unreasonable to insist that everyone has to indulge your fantasy too or they're a bigot.

Are you talking about cis people?

It's nothing more than the desire to be a woman. The idea is that we're all drawn to our own ideal image of ourselves. Your experience of this feeling is muted because you're cis. This is an explanation, not an endorsement.
