AFAB individuals who were born with all of these traits are considered [[dyadic]] or [[müllerian]], though some dyadic individuals may lose some of these characteristics later in life. Not all individuals who were AFAB were born with all of these traits, in which case they may be considered [[intersex]]. Some intersex individuals were AFAB, because they appeared externally female and their condition is not obvious without genetic testing or was not noticed until later in life. Some intersex individuals were coercively assigned female at birth (CAFAB), meaning they were medically altered without their consent to fit the sex binary.

AFAB women are considered [[cisgender]] women. [[Transgender]] AFAB individuals are most commonly assumed to be trans [[Man|men]], however [[Non-Binary|non-binary]] AFAB individuals can also be considered trans.
