(Removing the bit that says it's fine to call trans men "AFAB" instead. It's not fine. That's still reducing trans men to their circumstances at birth, and completely disregards their identities in favor of their birth assignment. Calling trans men "AFAB" ) |

This term should be used in a medical manner, in the same way one would use the term "biological female." It is best not to use this term in a non-medical way unless it is for self identification. For example, one should not call a transgender man "müllerian" |

One should not point out an individual as müllerian unless the individual has agreed to have the term used on them. The same goes for the phrase "biological male." Only in medical situations should it matter what someone's birth sex was; otherwise, it is completely up to the individual whether or not they wish to share or use this term. |
