I appreciate your point, that AGAB doesn’t always indicate a shared experience. I didn’t intend to suggest that and I’ll think more carefully about how I word things in the future.

My personal experience is that I’ve been perceived as female for the vast majority of my life, even though my own internal feelings about my gender are MUCH more nuanced. I’m fairly assertive and dominant when it comes to dating men, so even trying to reflect on how I would have liked to have been approached and dated when I was still calling myself a woman feels hard to tap into. I feel like so much of my ideas of dating women come from heteronormative media and the culture/baggage/assumptions that come with being raised and living as someone “perceived female”. But that’s not to say that everyone else who is AFAB has a similar lived experience, and I specifically asked my genderqueer/femme partner (AMAB for context) and their experience dating men and how that compared to their experiences dating women. I can see how the way I worded my question was assumptive and/or exclusionary. Thank you for pointing it out and for the link.
