for biological men,... For biological women

For future reference, the word you're looking for is "cis"

But isn't their point that the life expectancy of "biological men" also apply to trans women, and vice verca? That wouldn't be conveyed if they used the prefix cis.

This would of course only be relevant if life expectancy is a purely biological phenomenon, which I am not so sure it is.

A fair point I hadn't considered, but in that case AFAB/AMAB is still better than "biological male/female", since that's not even something most people know (I don't know my chromosomal, hormonal, or DNA structures, do you?).

[-] konki@lemmy.one 4 points 8 months ago

Yeah, totally agree with that. But as a commenter above mentioned, the difference in lifespan is probably mostly social anyway, so the whole biology aspect isn't really relevant.
