Do you have a source for that, since it seems to be a quote from somewhere? I'm not questioning or challenging you, I actually want to use the link to disseminate this among my companions that use that term for purposes of labeling in trans spaces.

- intarga 7y agoI know this is not your writing, and you just stumbled into this, but I am also intersex and am going to call that author out on their BS. Sex assignment is the official term used for designating a sex to all babies[0] not just intersex ones. As such it is totally correct to use the terms AFAB and AMAB to describe non-intersex trans or even cis people. The author most likely just has a bone to pick with trans people for using intersex people for their own ends, without sharing their visibility or talking about our issues. Which is a valid grievance, but this is not a valid outlet for it. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_assignment https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_assignment
