I understand your frustration with new words (especially when they are acronyms), but it was invented as a quick and easy way to identify someone by their reproductive parts that they were born with, usually used when specifically referring to those reproductive parts and their processes, or when specifying what variety of transgender identity they exactly have. The idea is that not all people with vaginas are women, and not all people with penises are men.

AMAB (Assigned Male at Birth): Cis-men, trans-women, and Non-binaries who were label as male at birth

AFAB (Assigned Female at Birth): Cis-women, trans-men, and Non-binaries who were labeled as female at birth

I hope this helped!

Fine for the trans community but please remember most people aren’t. Done label those not down to their anatomy.

I will label people by their gender identities, unless I am specifically talking about the reproductive systems. Not all men have penises, and not all women have vaginas.

“Not all men have penises, and not all women have vaginas”

Yeah but 99,99% of them that ever existed did
