I can't stand the use of AMAB or AFAB because it gives in to their ridiculous framing that a baby is just sort of randomly "assigned" at birth. This is literally a case of appropriation of intersex terminology to try and make their gender self ID seem more valid.

Lol the doctor has a big bag of dicks and he just slaps them on kids at random and that's how you get a boy.

It should really be observed.

At first glance I thought I read that as "there was a big bang of dicks" lol.

Don't you know that's where all the penises came from. Before that there were no dicks.

I wouldn’t surprise me if some TRAs genuinely believe this.

Don't you know all babies are made like in the film robots.

I despise the AMAB/AFAB crap as well. I wasn’t “assigned" male. I was born male. Because I have a penis. I was accurately recorded as male on my birth cert because the doctor who delivered me looked at my crotch, as did my parents, and then the hospital legally recorded my existence. The only thing that was assigned to me aside from the legal documents was my name. We need to stop with this "assigned" and that "identify" bullshit.

True, but it weaponizes their own language and turns it against them.

just use it as a literal stand-in for male/female, and eventually the definitions will flatten and they'll give up the words.
