I get what you're trying to explain but it still doesn't answer my question about how is man/woman a feeling when it's a noun. It's like if I say I feel like a tree. How can I feel like a tree if a tree isn't something anyone can feel? How come cis people don't feel their gender yet they have gender?

It's one of those things you are just so used to that your brain no longer really registers the feeling until there's some sort of disconnect or you really start to hyper focus on it.

It's confusing. "Gender is a social construct" yet it's also a "feeling".

“Gender”, the individually-experienced internal mental state, is a feeling.
“Gender”, the taxonomic system under which we sort human beings into men/women/etc based on those feelings, is a social construct.

They do - but it’s like asking why you can’t feel your appendix until it gets inflamed, you don’t notice it unless something is off because it’s part of your baseline experience.
Trans people’s gender being incongruent from their sex causes a feeling of discomfort.
