I just saw another ask calling Gemini au Donnie afab, and obviously he does have XX chromosomes in your au (or the turtle/mutant equivalent at least?), but if afab means assigned female at birth and Donnie and Leo were assigned male at birth by Big Mama.... Does that technically make the two of them amab trans men???

Or.... amak? assigned male at kidnapping?

LMAO yeah. I always grapple with the terms because I'm like. WELL... THEY TECHNICALLY... WEREN'T ASSIGNED FEMALE AT BIRTH LMAO,,,, they're both, technically speaking, amab, so yes, they are in fact both amab trans men lmao.

And they weren't TECHNICALLY kidnapped... so... amaa? assigned male at... adoption??? u w u

#the term afab isnt technically correct because. you know. but sometimes i use it anyway just for like. ease of communication #y'all know what i mean lmao #and im always hesitant to use terms like “biologically female” #coz i dont necessarily always LOVE that terminology for trans ppl and i know sometimes other ppl dont either #but! shrug. its not really that deep lmao #its mostly me being nitpicky and also force of habit #asks #anon #gemini au asks
