On the contrary, I would say virtually all women that you consider 'cis' understand that menstruating makes them 'less of ' (read: not at all) a man.

Because cis women are not men. Trans men are men.

You say most people don't define themselves by their biology, but when it comes to classifying oneself into the categories of man or women, virtually all of us do make this classification on the basis of biology: women understand that they are by definition not men (adult human males, as per every English language dictionary), because of the reality of their biology, which includes the potential of menstruation.

Well trans people exist and so does the concept of gender identity, so not everyone defines themselves by biology.

Yes, and you made a claim that 'cis' women don't base this on their potential to menstraute: this is wrong. This (being female) is the sole metric most women use.

Well trans people exist and so does the concept of gender identity, so not everyone defines themselves by biology.

Do you know what 'virtually all of us' means? I'll give you a hint: it doesn't mean 'everyone'.
