Meaning
This reads as gratitude for identity, not as surprise about it. It can be taken to mean that being a woman is presented as a source of strength, possibility, and self-respect, and that this feeling should not be hidden or apologised for. It lands when someone is trying to encourage confidence, especially in a setting where women are expected to minimize themselves.
