It is irrelevant to policy questions whether man and woman now refer to gender instead of sex. Say we have defined these words to meaninglessness. The concept of sex still exists and is what is relevant to (womens sports, womens restroom and locker rooms, healthcare, sexual orientation, etc.) Call it AFAB sports, AFAB locker rooms, AFAB healthcare, AFABosexual, for all I care, because these things aren't separated based the arbitrary syllables in wo/man but the concept of sex. (Joking to make a logical point aside - Don't. Capitulation isn't worth it and doesn't work, and most people won't know wtf any of that shit is supposed to mean.)

I'm glad you were joking about the last part because I hate when people say "AFAB" or "AMAB". A few people I follow who are blind trans supporters use these terms and I cringe and wince every time because as we all know, no one is "assigned" anything at birth, like what does that even mean? lol.
