The Care Quality Commission have posted this caption on a set of images on their FB page.
"AFAB/AMAB - If you’re new to LGBT+ spaces online, the acronyms AFAB or AMAB may be unfamiliar. They are most frequently used as a shorthand to designate a gender assigned at birth. The terms are used by a wide range of individuals, including those who are trans, non-binary, or intersex. While AFAB or AMAB may be useful for describing different trans or non-binary experiences (like whether or not someone experiences/has experienced male privilege), they are generally not considered identities in and of themselves. Calling a transman “AFAB,” for example, erases his identity as man. Instead, use a person’s requested pronouns and self-description."
FFS. No one is assigned a gender at birth. The sex is observed.
Shouldn't the CQC be worrying about coronavirus in care homes, or the number of HCPs dying, or basically anything else bar this.
