God yes, I have tried to talk about this for years about how unwomanning doesn't automatically result in manning- as in, it doesn't go "You're not a [Real] Woman thus you are a Man thus you get treated... Better!" It's "You're not a [Real, Human] Woman thus you are a thing/animal/monster... Worse yet, you are an animal impersonating a [Real, Human] Woman, so you should first be punished for the impertinence of pretending to be a [Real, Human] Woman, and then given the same punishments as society gives to the worst-kinds-of-Women"
Me and a couple of mates who had very different experiences of gendering-within-Womanning growing up (as in, Gendering within the process of society trying to turn an undifferentiated child into first a Girl then a Woman), about how a thing that could be very liberating for one group of people-being-forcibly-womanned, to say "I am not a Woman, I am a mammal (i can be hairy! I can bleed! I seek warmth!), animal (strong), flesh and blood (not Mystical and Mysterious), wild (free)" which was also exactly the way that another group of people-being-forcibly-womanned were oppressed (ie, told "You are not a Woman, you are a mammal (gross, leaky, hairy), animal (inhuman), just flesh and blood (lacking the Divine Feminine), wild (uncivilised and untrainable)".
So much of how Black women were abused under slavery in Europe and the Americas and the Caribbean, and how Romani women were abused under slavery in Romania and Austrohungary and the surrounding areas, dug into this idea of being simultaneously Women And Not Women, Unwomanned, etc... (And the same thing will have happened in the rest of the world, just in our little group that was the people we had!)
The specific nightmare of "(imperial) Patriarchy insists that you must aspire to be a woman... but also that some facet of your body/identity means you can never BE a WOMAN either" is just hard to talk about.
But that's where I ended up getting the words girling/womanning and boying/manning as well as unwomanning/ungirling etc from, too.
