I feel this way too. Not only are my experiences and body not generalizable with those of all people with the same AGAB as me, I am also not so different than people who were the opposite AGAB to justify excluding them categorically from conversations about particular bodies/ organs and experiences.

I think sometimes people avoid saying dick/vagina because those words make some people dysphoric. I (trans guy) always use vagina/cunt/clit for myself, but I’ve met dudes who have a strong preference for alternative language, whether that be saying “AFAB” or alternative terms like “front hole,” “tdick,” etc.

Lwk I js never specify unless I’m intending on dating the person OR if I try to give someone who does have a uterus some “products” (I carry multiple on me and basically give them out as needed since they’re sometimes not available on my campus) and get weird looks (plus I’m genderfluid so it doesn’t always make me feel dysphoric)

The issue here is that “afab anatomy” truly means nothing. If you say “people with afab anatomy can get pregnant.” Okay, so a trans man with a penis can get pregnant? Even after a hysterectomy. Or the example earlier today. “Gay men are weird about afab anatomy” so they’re not weird about vaginas that trans women have? Because they weren’t afab? Or are they weird about vaginas.

As someone who does get dysphoric around those words, it’s better to be direct about it imo. If we’re speaking generally, yes I am one of many people with a clit. I only expect people to call it a dick if they’re talking about me personally bc that’s what I prefer to call it for myself. But being direct about the exact anatomy is important sometimes

Like this post. The sentiment is okay and I get it, but is it afab bodies that are viewed like this, or breasts, because I don’t think a trans woman could draw herself topless and have no issues. Or a trans guy post top surgery probably could
