This gender may be felt through experiences of ableism and misogyny, the confusion of social, gender norms that have been assigned to oneself, masking to fit those norms, unmasking to redefine one's gender, et cetera.

ofab | omab

observed female at birth (ofab) and observed male at birth (omab) flags for anon!

i can't find precisely who coined these terms or why, but from what i've seen, it seems they were intended to be a more neutrally-worded alternative to assigned sex terminology. there are claims (i say 'claims' because i'm unsure if they're verified?) that afab/amab were originally intended to be used by intersex people, since 'assigned' implies being sorted into a specific category when one doesn't fit into either one. ofab/omab are therefore less loaded terms for perisex folks to use; they simply denote what one's sex was observed as at birth.

these also may be used as flags for reclaiming ofab and omab, since it seems these terms are commonly used by terfs and other radfems to 'correct' trans people who use agab terminology for themselves.

i used pinks for the ofab flag and blues for the omab flag (specifically shades inspired by these afab man and amab woman flags), dark blue for medical settings, and off-white for observation (representing the eyes, lenses, etc.).
