Those mean Assigned Female/Male At Birth.

And they exist because despite it being assigned that way at birth, gender or sex aren't actually determined only by "what is between your legs", nor are there just two binary options, since both gender and sex are a spectrum, not simply xx= vagina=female or xy=penis=male.

Feel free to educate yourself

not really relevant though, xx being biologically male/xy being biologically female are uncommon enough

And yet, they deserve to be included and considered. 🤯

(never mind that variation on the 3rd grade understanding of biology I described above are significantly more common than what I'm sure you're willing to acknowledge. Sex and gender are spectrums, no matter how uncomfortable that might make you or how hard you try to deny it)

you should stop getting annoyed at anyone that mentions a slight thing that might suggest that they're homophobic. They're probably not.

I don't get uncomfortable over the idea of a spectrum, just annoyed when people waste time nitpicking over tiny things like this that aren't part of the actual argument/idea being presented.

And you should really stop tone policing people making relevant points to the subject at hand, because it makes you uncomfortable, transphobe (yes, calling inclusion "nit-picking" is transphobic, no, there is no other reason for you to be dying on this hill, I wasn't even "annoyed" as you put it, just stating the obvious - this isn't my first rodeo, clown, and your reply proves me right, so.. ¯\(ツ)/¯ ).
