== Controversy ==
This identity is controversial because it have been used by TERFs in order to to mock transfeminine people, although there may be afab individuals who identify as transfeminine in good faith. The defenders of afab transfems argue that Just because terfs have sometimes used it to try to invalidate or mock transfems does not mean that afabs cannot identify themselves as transfem. Terfs regularly use the terms "man" or ''crossdresser'' in an attempt to invalidate or mock amab transfems, but should we force people to stop using the term "man" or ''crossdresser'' to describe themselves ? Of course not, that would be absurd.
Even when terfs use "afab trans woman/transfem" they are not actually invalidating anyone even if they don't realize it.
Amab/afab transfems are simply realities that can coexist perfectly well. One does not invalidate the other one.
