    AFAB/AMAB is for the original status.

    You’re literally splitting hairs when the phrases mean the same thing.

      No, it’s not. What part makes someone “biologically” male or female? If their hormones are such that they are growing in the manner you’d expect for a male or female then they are biologically that sex, regardless of what they were at birth. Your chromosomes are not your biology. A(M/F)AB is unambiguous and clear. Biologically male or female could be referring to a number of biological processes in their body, many/most of which are associated with their chosen gender if they’re undergoing HRT.

        Show me a research paper that makes this claim. It is called gender affirming care and not sex affirming care for a reason.

          And we call it sex change surgery despite not changing your chromosomes (which is what 99.9% of the “biological sex” people refer to). If your point is the language is flawed, I agree. If your point is that the flawed language is accurate, I don’t. What is sex? If your answer has anything that is modified by hormones then you agree that sex is much more complicated than a single binary, and biological sex is a misleading, oversimplified, and inaccurate term.
