    Random nitpick: I wish the shorthand for assigned male/female at birth would die cause way too often it’s used to the opposite effect than what the words are intending to convey.

    “She was assigned male at birth.”
    vs.
    “She is AMAB.”

          tbf i get the intent of your post, it makes a good point in how enby identities are sometimes overlooked. i think for this post it suits.

          disclaimer: i’m part of the broad queer spectrum, but not enby, so if someone who is could fill in for me, that’d be good.

          that said, in a world where AGABs no longer matter, perhaps “nonbinary people who start to appear less masculine” might work?

          It leaves in the middle what their original AGAB was, but does make clear why people mistakingly may believe someone is a trans woman, when they are not…
