Hi oomfies!! This is maybe kinda random, but for my POC oomfs (that were raised as women but dont identify as one) i have a question.... Do any of you also still cling onto the "WOC/woman of colour" label despite not identifying as a woman? Like im intersex and agender but despite that i feel like calling myself a WOC is an important part of identity because i have experienced being a WOC and it has affected how ive been treated.... im rlly curious on other peoples POV on this!

Hello, I identify as genderflux and I’m a Black Hispanic. I jokingly refer to myself as a woman or girl, despite not having others use those terms. I’ve been raised as a woman and love to dress feminine, it brings me such joy to myself and my child self.. even though I use it / its pronouns. I still identify as WOC, it’s apart of me and the others before me. I hold it high and proud, women of color had to keep their hopes up to be identified as people. No matter what others say, I’ll continue to be a WOC and nothing can change that. ^_*

i still hold onto the idea of being a woc bc ive rbe immense amount of sexism/misogny i went thru since like. the age of 6-7 . i am still connected to my femininity in a sense and i think its v important i still cherish it . bc i went thru the struggles that any woc went thru

i mean… im bigender and present femininely so i still call myself a woc. i have been treated differently because of being a woman of colour and i have now grown to love my identity as an asian even while others previously made me feel bad about it. so yes, i am a woc and am proud to be one! sorry if i articulated that badly…
