AFAB seem like such a misnomer because people aren’t assigned a sex (unless they are some small percentage of intersex people).

The only real advantage I could see is if a female trans person was so dysphoric or offended by the term woman or female that they wouldn’t get necessary medical care or screenings unless it was labeled some other way. I hope most trans people aren’t that reckless with their health, but I’m sure some are.

I’m not sure if it would work for spaces either because many male trans people would feel like it was invalidating and demand access. I feel like it would just escalate similar to how it moved from transwomen being women to transwomen being female (at least according to some).
