Examples

“The signup form⟳ on their website did not have⟳ a non-binary option, so I had to select⟳ my AGAB instead.”

“Since I came out to myself, I felt myself stop⟳ dressing in the way I thought I was "supposed" to dress based on my assigned gender at birth (AGAB). […] It can still be scary to dress in a way that doesn't match⟳ what I was taught based on my AGAB, but it's also really empowering to embrace who I truly am and share⟳ it with everyone.”

“Genderfluid people can question⟳ themselves, worrying that they're "supposed to transition" or that they're "regressing" if they present⟳ as their AGAB, or that they're a fraud if one of their gender forms happens to be their AGAB. Accepting genderfluidity, however, means accepting how many forms one's gender can take⟳.”

“Your AGAB is the gender that you were assigned at birth based on what your doctor and parents decided you were due to the shape⟳ of your genitals. […] The term transgender […] was originally used for people who are transitioning to a presentation different from the one associated with their AGAB. It is used more broadly now to refer⟳ to people who do not identify⟳ with their gender assigned at birth, whether they were assigned male and know⟳ that they are female, assigned female and know⟳ their gender to be fluid and flowing, or any combination thereof.”
