Hot take: 90% of times someone says “AFAB” or “AMAB” the implications of it are more transphobic than just ignoring our existence. Someone can be assigned one gender at birth and grow up perceived as another, AGAB isn’t a proxy for cisnornative gender

Who's "we"? The "i" in lgbtqia stands for intersex. The labels were coined by the intersex community. Perisex (as in, non-intersex) people do need to hop off them. But it would be stupid to remove useful labels from the intersex community because they were coopted by perisex people.
