There is no universal "AFAB experience" and there is no universal "AMAB experience" and cis people using these terms are often just using them as a way to misgender trans people but dress it up in a veneer of seemingly progressive language

i think we need to put a moratorium on cis people using "AFAB" and "AMAB." they're getting a bit too comfortable with it.

#i particularly hate the idea of 'afab/amab childhood' being presented as something that's real or a useful thing to specify #trans people will very often have a different childhood experience than their cis peers #that and when people are like 'well men---i mean AMABS-- are just SOCIALIZED to be pushy and awful and aggressive'#you are literally just misgendering trans women to assert your beliefs and prejudices
