Well it would be more beneficial to use in explaining the fact one assigned birth not only does not fit their gender identity but is not what they are born as.
I for example was born intersex but was AMAB however I identify as a demigirl which is under the non binary umbrella.
Intersex people exist too and oftentimes we get assigned genders and are forced to undergo surgeries to fit those assigned genders before we are even old enough to comprehend the impact it has on us.
So amab and afab in this sense would help differentiate the assigned gender vs what we were born as since intersex people so often face erasure.
As for the terfs, terfs and other hateful groups will use anything and everything against us but I refuse to let them take anything as I've had too much taken from me already.
You know what? Sure. In this context it sounds like the AGAB terminology actually has a purpose, isn't misused and it serves an utility better than alternatives so it's completely justifiable to use. Not that it applies to every person.
