No, I'm exactly the opposite. If I did have an innate sense of gender identity, it would be masculine, not feminine. I began to refuse femininity in preschool. I've always been extremely gender nonconforming. There is nothing about the female social role that appeals to me. On the contrary, the thought of myself being forced to perform it makes me suicidal.

I acknowledge my biological sex as female and don't think that the "cis" label makes sense for GNC people who actively reject the expected appearance and social roles assigned to their natal sex. I'm a woman because of how I was born, and that's it.
