Oh yeah. I'd absolutely never tell a random doctor at, say, an emergency room what my ASAB was.
a trans person telling a doctor their assigned sex at birth is significantly more likely to result in their mistreatment than letting them assume cisness in 95% of cases because the average doctor does not have the care or understanding required about the nuances of trans bodies and how weve changed

Do they not get it? The point is the end of our social existence. It is "you are your asab, you go and do whats expected of your asab". Then, when you are too different from cis of your asab you're banned from everywhere

ASAB/AGAB language is usually just misgendering with extra steps
for those wondering what's up with this, trans women find that ASAB language has been used as a pseudoprogressive way to imply that we don't share many of the same struggles as all women, citing our assigned sex as the reason.
In reality, there is no such thing as a coherent "AMAB" class.

You ARE not your ASAB, you WERE your ASAB.
ASAB is always in the past tense because it refers to a singular event in your personal history.
Don’t let it be an anchor around your present.

Not sure how racing in your asab class is affirming or elevating trans people since that’s exactly what the government wants and has decided for you

The whole thing is violent as hell, but what stands out most: inherent in this is the idea that cisgender people have total veto power over trans people in any area — regardless of asab, gender or expression. Simply existing while trans gives others the right to demand a trans person be barred.
