Maybe donāt assume a binary presentation for a nonbinary character at all! Maybe, the solution to āpeople assume masculinity for nonbinary characters a lotā is not ālets assume femininity instead.ā maybe the solution is actually to stop assuming a nonbinary character has to present one out of two ways. its in the word. non-binary.
EDIT: If you come onto this post to try and tell me ātransfemā means ātransitioning away from being AMABā or anything another than simply ātrans and feminineā, I will only try to correct you once.
EDIT 2: Known use of AGAB language in the queer community only started in the late 2000s. Specifically 2011. Here is the link to the birth assignment page on the intersex wiki, which has sources attached.
Earliest known use of transfeminine? 1985. Here's an internet archive link for you. It is more unclear when transmasc was coined, but they were done so to describe a transition that is masculine or feminine. It is why terms like transneutral or transxenine also exist. They describe gender presentation.
Attempting to define "transfem" as "trans and amab" or "transmasc" as "trans and afab" is not only just plain incorrect, it is wildly exorsexist and intersexist. A breakdown by this-is-varsexism-transphobia on why using them to refer to AGAB is transphobic.
If you keep trying to "correct" me on this or insist I look up the "origin" I will not try to explain to you. I will just block you.
