Cisgender, Shmisgender


I'm confused about many things, but there's one thing I'm sure of: I am a female. My gender was declared at birth, and I don't think my parents relied on the doctor's opinion -- it seemed pretty obvious to them based on MY BODY PARTS!  (See photo.) 
Yet in these crazy, mixed-up times, to be considered cool, woke, fair and caring, I am supposed to refer to myself as a "cisgender female." What's that, you ask?

"The word cisgender describes a person whose gender identity corresponds to their sex assigned at birth, i.e., someone who is not transgender." -Wikipedia

Though I may incur the wrath of many, I will never, ever refer to myself that way. I started out as a girl, grew into a young woman, spent some years as a hot chick and morphed into an old lady. Cisgender, shmisgender -- I am female.
