if you want examples of it being inaccurate: - people often forget that people can and do get bottom surgery - when talking about people who have uteruses and using AFAB—not everyone who was assigned female has a uterus (born that way, bottom surgery, hysterectomy, etc) - when talking about people who grew up as a girl (some trans people transition young) - intersex people who are wrongfully assigned at birth - obsession with seeing trans women in the same group as men and trans men as girls

There are also cis women with XY chromosomes and cis men with XX or even a uterus. People— biology as a whole— are entirely too complex to be shoved into little boxes that just don’t work.

absolutely. people try to use agab to be sensitive and woke which i can appreciate but its more or less the same biological accuracy as just saying men and women or males and females
