When I hear "gender assigned at birth" I want to slap someone. I wasn't assigned a gender at birth. The doctor looked between my legs and said, "It's a boy." I was assigned male by reason of having a penis there later in life I had an operation that reassigned me to female based on that same genital appearance factor.
When I came out in 1969, I came out as a feminist. Women in the collective gave me clothes. While the guys claimed they respected me but they also started treating me in a way that told me they expected me to adhere to the sex roles both hippie and movement women were expected to adhere to.
