But okay - this still doesn't address my question. If I "feel like a skiier", I have a concrete image of what a skiier is. I can describe it to you. People who feel like a woman have to have an idea of what a woman is otherwise the concept makes zero sense!

I agree they're not the same, but the principle still holds - to feel like a woman, there has to be a sense that matches [you] with [concept]. What is the concept? I don't feel like a woman. I don't feel like anything. I don't have any inherent sense of gender.

I can describe love (which also i think is a fundamentally incomplete concept as it's used) and also hunger though.

....no it won't be completely different? It might be slightly different, but people write books and poems about love that are really popular because other people understand them. If you asked me what love feels like I could say a ton of things that likely most others would share.

If an alien came to this world and asked about love, you could say a lot about it. I agree the word is shit, but you can suss things out. There's different types of love. we agree one type feels like this, another type feels like that.
