[Linus]

Do you use the term "woman" as part of your identity?

No.

What does it mean to you to use/not use the term "woman?"

It's a gender definer that does not apply to me.

Does tension/discomfort exist for you in using the term "woman" together with butch, femme, queer, or any of your other identity definers? If so, why?

No.

If you do not use the term "woman" how did you come to the decision not to?

I am a transman with a female bodied historical experience.

How is "woman" different from "female" (and I don't mean in the academic sense, but in the lived experience sense).

Hrmm.. I don't know because I never felt a need to claim woman. It may be a GID issue, however, as I felt no association or tie to "womanness" (although I did envy those that felt empowered by it).

What does "woman" mean?

Strength, power, courage, fierceness, love, hardness, softness, laughter, compassion, leadership.

What does "woman" not mean?
