Gender Neutral language

OK. So can someone please comprehensively explain to me what it means to, "Identify with the female gender"?
Do you 'feel' like you're a woman trapped in a man's body?

Better yet, how would you feel if you woke up tomorrow in the body of a woman but still possessing your own mind? Granted you'd mostly be confused, but would you be accepting of your body or would you 'feel' like you were in the wrong body? If you're accepting, you're cis-gendered. If you aren't you are transgender.
 
Here's the 31 genders New York recognises. I haven't a clue what half of them mean never mind being able to identify them.

  6. Female-to-Male
  7. FTM

  9. Genderqueer
  10. Male-to-Female
  11. MTF
  12. Non-Op
  13. HIJRA
  14. Pangender
  15. Transexual/Transsexual
  16. Trans Person
  17. Woman
  18. Man
  19. Butch
  20. Two-Spirit
  21. Trans
  22. Agender
  23. Third Sex
  24. Gender Fluid
  25. Non-Binary Transgender
  26. Androgyne
  27. Gender Gifted
  28. Gender Blender
  29. Femme
  30. Person of Transgender Experience

I thought FTM meant fanny to, ah never mind.
 
I’m male but have used the term love to many people, don’t have an issue if any of the ones I quoted are used when I’m being addressed, sometimes the Mrs gets pissed off though if I’m called darling!!
I call one of my best mates, flower, petal or treacle always have, get the odd look off people but fuck em
 
A mate of mine at his place of work who’s been charged with breaching the equalities policy.His crime? During a meeting he asked a male colleague for his thoughts and a female one for her feelings. Some twonk in HR has decided he should be disciplined for not using gender neutral language.

It’s really got me thinking about how I use language.

What organisation is it - Wernham Hogg? Taking your comments at face value, I can't think of any serious business where this sort of time-wasting nonsense would be tolerated. The "HR twonk" would simply be binned.
