I worded it that way because not everyone knows what AGAB, AMAB, and AFAB mean. I agree with your sentiment though.

assigned at birth; let's not acquiesce some doctor with a crank habit on 2 hours sleep is correct in what they say on government paperwork off a 2 second glance at baby genitals.
Either way, you’re the asshole here.
Big yeah.

In this house we hate cops and a person who participates in condemning someone to a [assigned] "sex at birth" prison is a cop.

I mean, I can change it if it really bothers you that much. I just didn’t want to potentially confuse people by using terms they might not be familiar with. Ironically it seems I might have done that anyway.
To be clear, I’m trans-femme enby, though I’m not exactly in a place right now to be able to medically or socially transition irl. Despite that, people saying “assigned at birth” or “birth sex” or whatever doesn’t really bother me. To me it’s just different ways of saying “this is who they were thought to be until they discovered their true selves”.

"I hate cops" wasn't a reply to you, friend. Nor about you. I was calling doctors cops and doing so in response to someone saying "respect doctors" as if that forgives their participation in systems of oppression. To be clear I respect doctors in so far as they treat gunshot wounds, hate them in so far as they snitch on the fact to the feds.
I thought about explaining the reasoning for the distinction I insisted on making (it was for others' benefit) but I didn't want to reply to you again 'cause I feared coming off as a dick.
