I don't know what the "non-binary theory" is, but you don't choose what gender you are. Much like how being gay isn't a choice, a cis person doesn't choose to be cis and a trans person doesn't choose to be trans.
According to the people you mention, you are indeed still a woman. Cisgender just means not transgender, in - again - the same way heterosexual means not homosexual (or bisexual).
Assigned female at birth (AFAB for short) simply means that when you were born, they took a look at what was between your legs and said "it's a girl". And then they put "Female" on your birth certificate. I remember this one story of a (cisgender) woman who was actually assigned male at birth, due to an administrative error. Generally speaking though, the two refer to the same thing.
Is being female a choice? Because.
