     The question of socialization is one of those topics where we all start debating how many trans people can dance on the head of a pin, and focusing on socialization as if we’re all programmed like little computers while we’re growing up, as if gendered socialization is launched at us like laser-guided missiles and CAFAB children receive only socialization aimed at girls and CAMAB children receive only socialization aimed at boys, and all us trans people are just like cis people who share our CASAB until the day we start transition.

     Many trans people who were coercively assigned female at birth (CAFAB) may look much younger than they are, especially if they are not on hormones, are on a low dose of hormones, or are just starting hormones.

     Take, for instance, the different consequences of gender deviance for those designated or coercively assigned male at birth (DMAB/CAMAB/AMAB) compared to those designated or coercively assigned female at birth (DFAB/CAFAB/AFAB). Developmental psychology has concluded that boys face more repercussions than girls for gender role violations (Kilianski 2003, 38).

     Regarding the second point, the constructs of sex, gender, and sexual orientation rapidly fall apart when considered concurrently; indeed, a person who was CAFAB or CAMAB (coercively assigned male or female at birth) and who identifies as non-binary already transgresses the dichotomous relationship between sex and gender.

使用する際の注意点

The earliest uses of CAFAB and CAMAB are in the context of the entire transgender community, but a common erroneous folk etymology popularized on Tumblr asserts it to be an intersex-exclusive term that originated in the intersex community, which has led some to use alternative terms like DFAB and DMAB. See Citations:CAFAB for further context.
